Silversea has launched its 2025/2026 season in the Caribbean and Central America, with the Silver Shadow departing on the first of 33 voyages in the region until March 5, 2025. Four of Silversea's intimate ships — each offering the brand's signature service excellence — will welcome guests in ultimate comfort on voyages ranging from seven to 21 days.
Enjoying immersive experiences, including authentic culinary experiences through the SALT (Sea and Land Taste) gastronomic program, guests will discover 32 iconic and off-the-beaten-path destinations in 19 countries, including smaller ports that large ships cannot access, such as Little Bay in Montserrat and Les Saintes in Guadeloupe.
“For our 2025/2026 Caribbean season, we’ve designed an immersive collection of voyages encompassing both iconic and rarely visited islands, allowing our guests to delve deeper and experience the authentic soul of the Caribbean and its vibrant flavors like never before,” said Bert Hernandez, President of Silversea. “Exploring boutique ports, accessible only to smaller ships, our guests will discover the most authentic side of the Caribbean’s unique culture.”
With four ships sailing the Caribbean and Central America in the 2025/2026 season, guests can choose from multiple voyages aboard Silver Ray, Silversea's newest Nova-class ship, or Silver Spirit and Silver Shadow, as well as a trip aboard Silver Dawn. On all Silversea ships, guests will enjoy the utmost refinement, privacy, and personalized service. Ashore, they can explore the region's majestic landscapes and serene beaches, along with the unique charm and heritage of the diverse islands that dot the Caribbean Sea.
