Dubai Embarkation Season
Silver Shadow's spring Africa & Indian Ocean season — on sale now.
Silversea sets the benchmark for ultra-luxury at sea, from intimate all-suite classic voyages to true polar expeditions — and its Africa & Indian Ocean season gives GCC agents a genuine Dubai embarkation and disembarkation point for your most discerning clients. Silversea operates 12 ships split into two distinct fleets: 8 classic ultra-luxury ships (Silver Nova and Silver Ray, the newest "Nova Class"; Silver Dawn, Silver Moon, Silver Spirit, Silver Muse, Silver Shadow, Silver Whisper), all all-suite with private verandas and a personal butler in every suite, and 4 expedition ships (Silver Cloud, Silver Wind, Silver Endeavour, and Silver Origin, purpose-built for the Galápagos) carrying 100–274 guests for high-access, Zodiac-led voyages. Fares are genuinely all-inclusive — dining, premium beverages, Wi-Fi and butler service as standard, with an "All-Inclusive Plus" tier adding a shore-excursion credit. The key regional hook: Silversea's Africa & Indian Ocean itineraries include confirmed classic-fleet voyages embarking and disembarking in Dubai — a Mahé (Seychelles)-to-Dubai routing via Muscat, Khasab, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Bahrain, and a return Dubai-to-Athens routing via Salalah, Aqaba, Safaga and the Suez Canal. Beyond the Gulf, Silversea's worldwide network spans the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, Alaska, Asia, Australia/New Zealand and the Kimberley, the Galápagos, and polar expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic. Gulliver Holidays wholesales Silversea inventory for agents packaging bucket-list itineraries around these genuine Dubai sailings or the wider worldwide programme.
Silver Shadow embarks and disembarks in Dubai in April 2028 — not just a port of call, a true start and end point. "Seychelles, Oman & the United Arab Emirates featuring Doha" runs Mahé (Seychelles) to Dubai over 16 nights, calling Muscat, Khasab, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Bahrain. The return sailing, "Egypt, Oman & Jordan featuring Petra," runs Dubai to Athens over 16 nights, calling Salalah, Aqaba (for Petra), Safaga and the Suez Canal.
