Silversea opens 2028–29 sales: 103 voyages and a 75-night South America circumnavigation
Silversea's 2028–29 Voyage Collection went on general sale Oct. 8, following a Venetian Society preview on Oct. 6. It covers 103 voyages from September 2028 to May 2029, with 29 new ports.
For advisors, the draw is early-booking inventory and the best suite choice. Highlights include Venice Carnival overnights and New Year's Eve in Funchal and Sydney. New S.A.L.T. Culinary Voyages (Wine & Truffle, Asian Markets) are also on offer.
The longest itinerary is a 75-night Silver Nova circumnavigation of South America. Its length and price point suit high-value clients who already take extended voyages, so it is worth raising with them now, before suites sell down.

Regent adds Galileo's Bar and Azure beverage concepts ahead of Seven Seas Prestige debut
Regent Seven Seas has detailed new beverage concepts for Seven Seas Prestige, including Galileo's Bar and Azure. The drinks are a minor point on their own. They do give advisors specific product detail for the line's first new class in a decade.
Prestige has 411 suites. She is about 40% larger than earlier Regent ships but carries only 10% more guests. Her maiden voyage sails from Miami on Dec. 28, less than three months away.
The ship's debut is a key selling moment for inaugural-season bookings, so advisors should use the space-per-guest figures when pitching clients who value room to spread out.
Lindblad shares up about 146% year to date on expedition demand
Lindblad Expeditions (LIND) stock has risen about 146% this year to a market value near $2.3 billion. The company reports $830 million in revenue and a continuing net loss. Coverage ties the rally to experiential-travel demand and the Disney partnership.
For advisors, the move supports the case for strong expedition demand, including Galápagos and polar, and for possibly tighter availability. It is a watch item, not a booking trigger. The premium valuation depends on the company continuing to execute.
