Between April and October 2025, the all-suite Silver Spirit and Silver Dawn will undertake 30 voyages in Northern Europe and the British Isles, calling in dozens of fascinating destinations. From medieval to modern, ornate to rustic, warm to windswept, Silversea’s bespoke itineraries capture Europe’s Baltic, Norwegian, Atlantic and North Sea coasts in unmatched detail. Whether your passions run to regal castles or rustic villages, misty moors, silent fjords or glittering culinary capitals, these journeys will satisfy your most ardent wanderlust – immersing you in the authentic beauty of some 18 different nations. Ranging from 7 to 14 days, many of these sailings are combinable, enabling up to 31 days of uninterrupted discovery.

2025 NORTHERN EUROPE & THE BRITISH ISLES HIGHLIGHTS

Norway & Iceland

The UNESCO-listed Norwegian Fjords are a “must-see” for discerning travelers, and with good reason; their deep blue waters and steep mountains draped in emerald forests are among the longest and deepest in the world. Central to several itineraries, the fjords share the spotlight with Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland — countries celebrated for their picturesque scenery, geological wonders, and charming villages. Steeped in tradition, these Scandinavian lands are also rife with contemporary art and design.

The British Isles

With their blooming gardens and splendid estates, iconic coasts and gorgeous bays, the British Isles in summer are best described as enchanting. Indeed, here is where you’ll see puffins and ponies in the Shetlands, rolling pastures and legendary lochs in Scotland, and fiddles and pubs and cobbled streets throughout Ireland. But you’ll also find a land steeped in history, home to ancient stone monoliths (from Stonehenge to Callanish), medieval castles, majestic cathedrals, and mysterious legends.

Atlantic Coast

Along the Iberian coast, iconic sites offer a study in contrast — from the 800-year-old baroque Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to Frank Gehry’s boundary-pushing Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Three days in Bordeaux invite discovery of its famed wine lands by bike, hot air balloon or helicopter, while Brittany awaits with Saint-Malo’s swashbuckling corsair history and Mont Saint-Michel’s legendary Benedictine abbey. An overnight in Rouen allows for visits to Monet’s Garden or exploration in Paris.
 

The Baltic

From Tallinn and Riga to Visby and Gdańsk, the medieval ports of the Hanseatic League continue to captivate with their timeless charms and vibrant cultural legacies. With their historic wealth, they became enduring symbols of prosperity — nearly all with UNESCO recognition — boasting storied architecture, botanical gardens, and flourishing arts scenes. To compete with these thriving trade capitals, Swedish King Gustav I founded Helsinki in 1550, resulting in a flawlessly designed city of creativity.

INTIMATE SMALL SHIPS

Our butler-serviced Silver Spirit and Silver Dawn are designed to give space to fewer, select travelers. They are big on creature comforts and luxuries, yet small enough to be personal and convivial. The 304-suite Silver Spirit and 298-suite Silver Dawn can sail up narrow waterways into the heart of a city or tie up right at the pier, while others must anchor offshore — making them ideal for showcasing the natural beauty and cultural treasures of Northern Europe and the British Isles. 

Silver Spirit 

Fully refurbished in 2018 for a superlative onboard adventure, the all-new Silver Spirit has never looked better nor felt cozier. Silver Spirit offers guests one of the most complete cruise experiences available. With one of the highest space-to-guest ratios in the business and eight superlative luxury dining options, the ship retains our world-famous service standards and home-away-from-home comfort. Spacious decks leave plenty of room for relaxation, yet the cozy niches make sure that there is something for everyone. Meet like-minded friends, enjoy first-class dining, and relax on our original Silversea flagship.

Silver Dawn 

A new world of luxury is waiting aboard Silver Dawn. Elegant and modern, this ship is the natural evolution of our fleet. Large enough to offer eight dining options — including the superb Sea and Land Taste (S.A.L.T.) program — yet small enough for the famed Silversea onboard ambience, Silver Dawn inherits the best features of her sister ships Silver Muse and Silver Moon, but is in a class all her own. With sumptuous suites, outstanding itineraries, plus cutting-edge design and technology, Silver Dawn sets new standards of luxury. 

Otium: Elevating the Luxury Spa Experience

Featured aboard Silver Dawn, Otium is a Roman bath-inspired spa concept aimed at offering guests extreme moments of comfort. Enjoy unique onboard experiences of wellness, relaxation and indulgence through innovative treatments designed by our experts. Otium is a concept that permeates throughout the ship and can be enjoyed in the spa, in your suite, and in many more venues. Unwind with an indulgent menu of bespoke treatments, such as The Otium, a fragrant-oil massage that uses mineral-rich pink salt stones, or natural bamboo, to stimulate your body and soul. Then it’s back to your suite where bathing and sleeping rituals await, and the first dedicated balcony experience at sea.

S.A.L.T.: Go beyond your food horizons 

Flavor your journey through Northern Europe with our cutting-edge culinary program: S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste), which elevates the gastronomic experience aboard Silver Dawn. Market trips, winery visits, and other culinary-focused activities ashore — such as a truffle experience in Bordeaux and a Northern Irish cooking workshop in Belfast — complement onboard cooking lessons, tastings, and lectures. Silver Dawn also features a S.A.L.T. restaurant, bar, and cooking laboratory showcasing local recipes. 

ADVENTURES IN ELEGANCE

With a passion for bold discovery and an affinity for understated luxury, the Silversea experience is ocean travel as it is meant to be: casually elegant, indulgently pampered, and deeply immersive. Regardless of your destination, our goal is to engage all your senses from the moment you step on board. This is reflected in spacious all-suite accommodations — most with private verandas — that keep you tethered to the sea. It’s indulged in innovative spas and savored in multiple restaurants serving exceptional cuisine. Destination experts engage your mind, while entertainers dazzle your spirit. Above all, it is the service that warms your soul.
