Royal Caribbean's luxury cruise line Silversea just unveiled a 136-day cruise around the world cruise amid high demand for such sailings — see what it'll be like
Royal Caribbean Group's luxury cruise line Silversea Cruises has unveiled its 2025 136-day world cruise.
The cruise line has reported "incredibly high demand" for longer itineraries.
The over four-month cruise will sail from Tokyo to New York starting at $76,000 per person.
Royal Caribbean Group's luxury Silversea Cruises has unveiled its newest 2025 136-day global sailing from Tokyo to New York as longer itineraries have continued to skyrocket in popularity.
Travelers have been flocking to global sailings since the resumption of cruises amid COVID-19, creating an "incredibly high demand for extended voyages," Roberto Martinoli, president and CEO of Silversea Cruises, said in a press release.
And more recently in June, Regent Seven Seas Cruises' 2025 150-night global itinerary, its longest one yet, also sold out in "record time" for the fourth consecutive year.
The demand for long-haul cruises has never been stronger.
And Silversea is looking to tap into this growing market: To accommodate this demand, the 2025 global cruise will sail aboard the 596-passenger Silver Dawn, one of the cruise line's bigger and newer vessels.
The around-the-world sailing — called the "Controtempo World Cruise 2025" — will be segmented into 10 legs organized by dates and destinations …
… starting with Tokyo to Hong Kong and ending with Reykjavik, Iceland to New York.
Along the way, travelers still stop in 59 locations across 30 countries and four continents.
There'll also be four overnight stays in locations like Osaka, Japan, Luxor, Egypt, and Oslo, Norway to give travelers more time to explore the international destinations.
Throughout the four months at sea, travelers will get to see tourist hot spots like Vietnam's Ha Long Bay, Egypt's bazaars, Istanbul's Turkish baths …
… France's famous wine-making city Bordeaux, Amsterdam's tulip fields, and Picasso's hometown Malaga, Spain.
For unique on-land experiences, the Silver Dawn's travelers will also get to partake in exclusive events like a Bollywood performance and a tour of an Egyptian presidential palace.
Four months is a long time to spend at sea. And as with any cruise, there will inevitably be several days at sea with no planned stops.
To make the journey more comfortable and luxurious, the Silversea Dawn is lined with suites that all have views of the ocean.
To help passengers pass the time, the cruise ship also has eight restaurants, bars and lounges, Roman-inspired spa amenities …
… and typical cruise features like a casino, indoor observation lounge, pool and jacuzzi, and theater.
Along the way, the menu at the Silver Dawn's dining concept "S.A.L.T. Bar and Kitchen" will change according to its destination, giving travelers a chance to sample local cuisine without leaving the ship.
But in the age of inflation and expensive travel, luxury won't come cheap on this long-haul cruise.
The all-inclusive sailing starts at $76,000 per person in the 335-square-foot Vista Suite.
But if you're looking for something a bit more luxurious, say the 1,055-square-foot Owner's Suite, be prepared to pay at least $266,000 for the global sailing.
