Edited by Travel Weekly


Silversea has announced its 2025 Venetian Society Reunion voyage and, for the first time, members have been invited to vote for their preferred itinerary aboard Silver Spirit from 17 to 29 October.

Hosted by Silversea president, Bert Hernandez, the Venetian Society Reunion voyages foster a convivial atmosphere and a strong sense of camaraderie, providing the opportunity for guests to enjoy exclusive destination experiences. Throughout the voyage, guests experience 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 a unique insight into the local culture, customs, and history of a destination; a five per cent 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,” Hernandez said. “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 – travelling 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, the special sailing heads to many of the Mediterranean’s iconic destinations. Guests aboard the Silver Spirit will discover Trieste near the Slovenian border and have the opportunity to explore Piazza Unita d’Italia, one of Italy’s most spectacular town squares and see some of the country’s most striking architecture.

In Croatia’s Medieval capital, Dubrovnik, guests delve into the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where they can admire 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. They can also sample local wine at a family winery in the Konavle Valley or discover the many highlights of beautiful Cavtat.

Guests also head out on a scenic drive and an old town walking tour to unlock the charm of Italy’s Bari, while excursions to the cathedral-like marine cave of Polignano a Mare and the UNESCO-listed Sassi di Matera showcases the region’s impressive natural beauty and fascinating cultural history.

An immersion into the Greek islands combines both iconic and off-the-beaten path highlights in Corfu, Katakolon (Olympia), Monemvasia (Laconia), Souda Bay (Crete), Santorini, and the Medieval City of Rhodes, before guests arrive in Athens (Piraeus) on 29 October.

Venetian Society Reunion voyage 2024: Tokyo to Singapore

Travellers looking to sail sooner can still book to join Silversea’s 2024 Venetian Society Reunion voyage that takes guests sailing from Tokyo to Singapore on board the new Silver Nova between 15 to 31 October.

This year’s edition will be Bert Hernandez’s first Venetian Society Reunion voyage as president of Silversea, and also marks the first time a Nova-class ship hosts the sailing. It features three overnight calls in Incheon, Hong Kong, and Ho Chi Minh City, and enables 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,” Hernandez added.

“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.”
