If you’re one of those people who have been struck by the adventures of the lucky few sailing the Royal Caribbean’s Ultimate World Cruise, then start packing (and seriously saving) for another never-ending world cruise that is the stuff of dreams.
Offered by the luxury and expedition Silversea cruise line, the intimate Silver Dawn ship will be your home for the five months that make up The Three Oceans World Cruise 2027 starting in January next year, when she sets sail for the high seas.
Traversing across three massive oceans – the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic – you’ll be calling in 35 countries and 80 destinations, with 20 of the latter being first-time visits for a Silversea world cruise. The voyage includes 11 overnights in ports from Honolulu to Bordeaux and includes Cape Town, nogal.
Throw in 50 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Silversea’s usual team of top-notch naturalists and cultural experts, and your seafaring calendar should be brimming with adventure.
Silver Dawn somehow manages to be cosy but spacious, with a 68 GRT-per-guest, which basically means a really bountiful amount of personal space onboard. The luxury vessel is also outfitted with the company’s huge new Otium wellness space and its super huge menu of pampering experiences.
As if that’s not enough, Silversea also boasts the industry’s best crew-to-guest ratios, which means you’ll also have a personal butler at your disposal.
The S.A.L.T. programme has been spicing up the cruise world culinary scene, which means you’ll be treated to some excellent S.A.L.T.-themed shore excursions.
You may select visits to, say, top vineyards, or wander organic and sheep farms, and enjoy everything from Michelin-starred châteaux dining to mama’s home cooking in a remote village. Maybe you’ll even go truffle hunting or fishing for your own catch.
On board, world chefs are there to give you personalised tutorials in the S.A.L.T. Lab, which is apparently as finely outfitted as the test kitchen on your favourite chef competition show.
“With changing menus designed to reflect the ports in which you dock, the S.A.L.T. Kitchen restaurant will broaden your flavor palate with herbs, spices and dishes you’d never heard of.”
Not to mention the S.A.L.T. Bar crew who will craft cocktails that are also inspired by the world cruise destinations.

Besides S.A.L.T.-ing away onboard or on an excursion, you can also just lie on a peaceful beach, or for some action go wildlife hunting.
Set your calendar for a January 8, 2027 departure out of Los Angeles and expect to dock in Copenhagen 149 days later on June 7.
The first 46-day leg of the world cruise includes visits to Hawaii and its Volcanoes National Park and to French Polynesia and its islands of Rangiroa, Moorea, Bora Bora, and more. After Brisbane and the Great Barrier Reef, get ready for classics like Bali, Singapore, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Next up, stop over at the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve on the Insta-friendly Seychelles island of Praslin, and the rugged volcanic French overseas department of Réunion.
Then, it’s on to South Africa to spot the Big Five and visit Cape Town. While you’re nearby, you’ll fly up to Victoria Falls and stay in luxury along the Zambezi River. Departing Cape Town, you cruise West Africa, to Namibia, Angola, Ghana, the Gambia, Senegal, Morocco, and on to Lisbon.
Then it’s along the British Isles, a crossing up to Norwegian fjords, and then it’s finally back down to Copenhagen.
Starting June 20, members of Silversea’s Venetian Society loyalty program will enjoy early sales before the full June 27 opening sales date.
