Silversea has announced its 2018 cruise programme, and one of the highlights is a 44 day-long cruise around the Mediterranean.
Groups taking the Ultimate Mediterranean Experience voyage will spend the 44 days in the heart of the Mediterranean onboard Silversea’s flagship, Silver Muse.
The voyage will call at 39 different ports in nine different countries, from the Greek Isles and the Balearics, to the French Riviera, Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast.
Highlight coast excursions on this cruise will include trips to monuments such as the Colosseum in Rome and the Acropolis in Athens, and spotlight destinations include Santorini, Monte-Carlo, Sardinia and Dubrovnik.
Groups will have the chance to dine on fresh fish in the Balearics, drink Madeira in Madeira and take a gondola ride in Venice.
