Silversea Cruises has opened the books on its World Cruise 2018, a 121-day sailing from Los Angeles to Rome, departing Jan. 6, 2018.

The sailing will be hosted aboard the all-suite Silver Whisper, allowing travellers to voyage in luxury to 60 destinations in 21 countries across the globe, with an itinerary that includes virtually every highlight recommended by the line’s veteran world cruise guests. Plus, with 17 overnight calls and 13 late-night stays, participants will have ample time to fully immerse themselves in local culture.

The unique voyage, titled “La Grande Bellezza,” will sail west across the Pacific to Hawaii, French Polynesia and New Zealand, then weave a path through the Java Sea to Bali, Probolinggo, Semarang and Borneo, and to a host of exotic isles in the Philippines. After two nights in Hong Kong and overnight stays in Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok and Singapore, Silver Whisper will follow the route of ancient spice traders to Sri Lanka, India, and Oman. It will then continue through the Red Sea to Luxor and Petra, the Greek islands and along the coast of Italy to Rome.
