Breaking News: Silversea Cruises’ Silver Dawn is expanding its global itinerary to include extended voyages thru the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, with a dedicated 10-day Norway cruise scheduled for June 21, 2026.

The ethereal glow of the midnight sun illuminates the dramatic landscapes of the Lofoten Islands, a Norwegian archipelago rising sharply from the Norwegian Sea. This unique phenomenon, experienced during the summer months, provides an extended daylight that enhances the beauty of the region’s traditional red-painted fishing villages and rugged peaks. The experience is notably captivating when viewed from the deck of the Silver Dawn, a luxury cruise ship offering an all-inclusive experience.

During a recent voyage, the scenery remained breathtaking as the Silver Dawn navigated the Norwegian coastline. Evenings were spent enjoying an all-Norwegian tasting menu at SALT Kitchen, a restaurant known for its locally-sourced ingredients and ever-changing menu reflecting the ship’s current location. SALT Kitchen, a pop-up restaurant concept created by Jon aga, is a unique culinary experience that emphasizes Norwegian food culture.

The comfort continued into the late evening within the ship’s elegantly appointed staterooms. Pulling the curtains offered a final glimpse of Norway, a country renowned for its natural splendor and captivating light.
