When you choose to cruise with multi award-winning Silversea, you know you’re guaranteed a voyage to remember, but when you’ve booked your place on the best world cruise ever, it’s safe to say that you’ll enjoy the cruise of a lifetime.

The ultra-luxury line has just announced its world cruise for 2017, with reservations now being taken for places on this incredible 116-day voyage from San Francisco to Monte Carlo on-board the sleek, stylish all-suite Silver Whisper. Departing 6th January, this clearly is an itinerary for the serious traveller featuring no fewer than 62 different ports of call in 25 countries.

On this epic journey, you’ll get your first taste of sun in Hawaii before exploring the stunning South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand. After that it’s on to the exotic Far East, with calls at Shanghai Hong Kong and Singapore, but not before sampling what for many is the ultimate beach escape, Bali. Working your way west, you’ll experience India and the Middle East before arriving in Mediterranean waters to enjoy the best of this timeless cruise destination.

Real cultural immersion is a serious focus for Silversea, so the itinerary will feature plenty of overnight stays which will give you more time to explore, discover and take in as many of the sights as possible. Even better, if you’re on-board for the full duration, you can enjoy three very special shore events, namely an excursion to see the fabled terracotta warriors of Xian, the chance to meet exotic animals on Abu Dhabi’s Sir Bani Yas island (with lunch included of course) and live music and dinner at Hawaii’s historic Pacific Aviation Museum. In every destination however, there’s the chance to learn from local experts, academics and journalists and enjoy such special events as cooking demonstrations and wine tastings.
