Silversea has announced its 2025 Venetian Society Reunion voyage.
For the first time, Venetian Society members were invited to vote for their preferred itinerary. The leading experiential luxury and expedition cruise travel brand will reconvene its extended family of guests on board Silver Spirit from October 17 to October 29, 2025, welcoming both Venetian Society members and first-time guests between Fusina (Venice) and Athens (Piraeus).
Hosted by Bert Hernandez, president of Silversea, the Venetian Society Reunion voyages foster a convivial atmosphere and a strong sense of camaraderie, providing the opportunity for guests to reunite with friends and meet fellow travelers while enjoying exclusive destination experiences. Throughout the sailing, guests enjoy special onboard events and receptions, enriched entertainment, and curated shore excursions. In addition, Venetian Society members can attend an exclusive signature event ashore, which, curated by Silversea’s destination experts, provides unique insight into the local culture, customs, and history of a destination; a 5% saving on the cruise fare; and commemorative gifts, among other enrichments.
“I look forward to hosting our Venetian Society Reunion voyage in the Mediterranean in 2025 — on an itinerary that was personally selected by our guests,” said Bert Hernandez, president, Silversea. “Our reunion voyages provide important opportunities to reunite our Venetian Society members each year, enabling our executive teams - both shoreside and shipboard - to meet with our valued guests and celebrate their loyalty. In 2025, we will visit some of the most iconic destinations in the Mediterranean, including Venice, Dubrovnik, Santorini, and Rhodes — traveling in the shoulder season for an authentic experience, as we connect with locals. Our destination experts have designed a range of unique moments for our guests, going to unprecedented lengths to ensure a truly unforgettable voyage.”
VENETIAN SOCIETY REUNION VOYAGE 2025: FUSINA (VENICE) TO ATHENS (PIRAEUS)
Departing from the new cruise terminal in Fusina (Venice), this special sailing will call in many of the Mediterranean’s most iconic destinations. Guests traveling on board Silver Spirit will first discover Trieste near the Slovenian border, where they will have the opportunity to explore Piazza Unità d'Italia, one of Italy’s most spectacular town squares, and marvel at some of the country’s most striking architecture.
In Croatia’s Medieval capital, Dubrovnik, guests will delve into the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; admire fine Renaissance paintings at the Dominican Monastery; and take in the historic beauty of the Rector's Palace, Maritime Museum, Church of Saint Blaise, and Onofrio's Fountain. Venturing out of town, they can sample local wine at a family winery in the Konavle Valley or discover the many highlights of beautiful Cavtat.
A scenic drive and an old town walking tour will unlock the charm of Italy’s Bari, while excursions to the cathedral-like marine caves of Polignano a Mare and the UNESCO-listed Sassi di Matera showcase the region’s impressive natural beauty and fascinating cultural history.
An immersion into the Greek islands will combine both iconic and off-the-beaten-path highlights in Corfu, Katakolon (Olympia), Monemvasia (Laconia), Souda Bay (Crete), Santorini with its whitewashed houses carved into rugged clifftops, and the Medieval City of Rhodes, before guests arrive in Athens (Piraeus) on October 29, 2025.
VENETIAN SOCIETY REUNION VOYAGE 2024: TOKYO TO SINGAPORE
Travelers looking to sail sooner can still book to join Silversea’s 2024 Venetian Society Reunion voyage, which will see guests sail from Tokyo to Singapore on board the new Silver Nova – between October 15 and October 31, 2024. This year’s edition, which will be Bert Hernandez’s first Venetian Society Reunion voyage as president of Silversea, also marks the first time a Nova-class ship has hosted the sailing. Three overnight calls – in Incheon (Seoul), Hong Kong, and Ho Chi Minh City – will enable guests to travel deeper into some of Asia’s most iconic cities.
“On our 2024 Venetian Society Reunion in Asia, our guests will attend a tailored event at the Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival at the Central Harbourfront with VIP access, enjoying exclusive enrichments that will include award-winning Chinese wines, Michelin-starred dim sum, and special local entertainment,” added Hernandez. “Guests can subsequently discover the festival’s attractions and booths, sampling a variety of local and international cuisine, and enjoy privileged access to the Harbourview Lounge.”
