With five different continents and voyages to choose from ranging from 11 to 16 days, each exploring a diverse region of the world there are few better ways to enjoy the festive season than with Silversea Cruises.

On 19 December, the first of the five voyages departs from Buenos Aires and spends 16 days exploring the highlights of Argentina, Uruguay and Chile. On this voyage number 1836, Silver Cloud passengers will have the opportunity to experience the best of South America.

If local cuisine is of interest, passengers on this cruise can sip tea through a silver straw from a bombilla (special cup) in Montevideo, Uruguay, or eat empanadas (tasty turnovers stuffed with meat or cheese) in Santiago, Chile.

For guests boarding Silver Wind at Cape Town, voyage number 2835 begins on 20 December, sailing to Port Louis, Mauritius, over a two week period and calling at seven ports enroute. In Fort Dauphine, Madagascar, passengers can enjoy beautiful countryside and unique vegetation or visit the still active volcano, Piton de la Fournaise, on Reunion Island.

Leaving from Sydney on 20 December (Voyage 4839) , Silver Whisper will spend 15 days calling at 9 ports before reaching Auckland, New Zealand. Beyond the incredible port of calls, passengers will cruise among the astonishingly beautiful glacier-carved inlets of Milford Sound aboard their ship. One of the many attractions includes the Waitomo Caves, a vast underground network of water-sculpted, cathedral-like limestone grottoes.

The fourth voyage, which sets sail on 21 December (Voyage 3831), has azure blue water as a staple on this two-week voyage through the Caribbean aboard Silver Shadow. Both embarking and alighting in Fort Lauderdale, this voyage calls at the ports of seven islands and picturesque Key West.
