This 125-Day Cruise Will Visit 60 Destinations Across 19 Countries

Luxury cruise line Silversea Cruises has revealed an ambitious new world cruise for 2029, and it’s one of the most immersive itineraries we’ve seen in years.

The sailing, called “A Pacific Awakening,” will span 125 days, visiting more than 60 destinations across 19 countries throughout the Pacific.

A Journey Across the Pacific (From California to Singapore)

The voyage will take place aboard the Silver Whisper, a smaller, ultra-luxury ship that carries just 392 guests.

• Departure: San Diego on January 5, 2029
• Final stop: Singapore
• Total length: 125 days

Along the way, the ship will sail through:

• Hawaii
• French Polynesia
• Micronesia and Melanesia
• Australia
• New Zealand
• Southeast Asia

This isn’t just a “stop and go” itinerary either. The cruise includes 17 overnight port stays, giving travelers more time to actually experience each destination instead of rushing back to the ship.

Rare Destinations You Don’t Normally See

One of the biggest draws of this sailing is its mix of iconic cities and hard-to-reach locations.

Some standout stops include:

• Kalanggaman Island, Philippines – a remote sandbar paradise
• Motu Tapu, French Polynesia – often called one of the most beautiful private islets in the world
• Tasmania, Australia
• Tokyo, Japan
• Pattaya, Thailand

These are places that many cruise itineraries skip, especially in one single voyage.

Exclusive Experiences You Can’t Book Yourself

This world cruise is built around themed experiences called “Signature Events,” inspired by From Kingdoms to Dynasties.

Guests will get access to moments that go beyond typical shore excursions, including:

• A private evening at ʻIolani Palace in Honolulu
• A special island celebration in the Philippines
• A curated dinner experience at the Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya

These kinds of events are designed to offer deeper cultural access, something Silversea has been focusing on more in recent years.

What’s Included in the Fare

As expected from an ultra-luxury line, the cruise fare is packed with inclusions:

• Business class airfare
• Pre-cruise hotel stay
• Shore excursion credit
• $500 onboard spending per guest
• Unlimited premium WiFi (2 devices per person)
• Laundry service
• Medical services
• Exclusive onboard events and commemorative gifts
• Baggage valet service

It’s essentially designed to be an all-in-one, seamless experience from start to finish.

A Cruise Broken Into “Chapters”

Another interesting detail is how the voyage is structured. Instead of feeling like one long trip, Silversea has divided it into eight “chapters.”

Each chapter focuses on a different region or theme, creating a more storytelling-style journey as guests move across the Pacific.

Booking Details

Early booking access is already open for members of Silversea’s Venetian Society loyalty program.

• General sales begin: April 21

With demand for extended world cruises continuing to grow, sailings like this often fill quickly, especially with limited capacity onboard.

Why This Cruise Stands Out

There are plenty of long cruises out there, but this one stands out for a few reasons:

• Focus on the Pacific, which is less commonly covered in full
• A mix of bucket-list cities and lesser-known islands
• A high number of overnight stays
• Exclusive, curated experiences you can’t easily replicate on your own

For travelers looking to fully unplug and explore a huge part of the world in one trip, this sailing is about as comprehensive as it gets.

If you’ve ever thought about doing a world cruise, this one raises the bar in a big way. Get more information on Silversea’s website.
