There are golf holidays, and then there are golf voyages — and Silversea has just redefined the latter. The ultra-luxury cruise line has announced a new partnership with PerryGolf, the long-established specialist in golf cruising, to launch a collection of golf-focused itineraries setting sail in 2027 and 2028.

For travellers who’ve dreamt of playing the world’s most storied courses without the faff of organising transfers, tee times and travel logistics, this is rather special news indeed.

What’s Included

These aren’t cruises with a spot of golf tacked on. Each voyage has been designed around the game itself, with packages covering course access, practice facilities, dining, seamless transfers between ship and fairway, and — a lovely touch — a friendly one-day tournament with awards to round off the journey. Bring your own clubs or hire a set on board; either way, every detail is handled for you.

PerryGolf brings nearly thirty years of expertise in golf cruising to the partnership, while Silversea contributes its signature brand of all-inclusive ocean luxury. It’s a pairing that makes perfect sense — the comfort of a floating five-star hotel, delivering you to a new championship course every few days.

The Courses

The line-up reads like a golfer’s bucket list: Royal Liverpool in England, Castle Stuart Golf Links in the Scottish Highlands, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club in Spain, Tasmania Golf Club here in Australia, and Royal Wellington across the Tasman in New Zealand — with more to come.

Three Voyages to Watch

British Isles — Roundtrip Southampton (14–25 August 2027) Aboard Silver Spirit, this sailing is a love letter to links golf. Guests play Royal Liverpool and Prince’s Golf Club in Kent before crossing to Northern Ireland for the magnificent dunes of Portstewart, finishing in Scotland with rounds at Castle Stuart and Dumbarnie Links.

Mediterranean — Roundtrip Barcelona (25 October – 3 November 2027) Silver Ray hosts this continental escape, opening at Camiral’s Stadium Course before heading down Spain’s southeastern coast to Las Colinas, then on to Mallorca for rounds at Son Gual and Alcanada. Golf in the morning, tapas and Rioja in the evening — bliss.

Australia & New Zealand — Sydney to Auckland (29 January – 12 February 2028) Closer to home, this 14-day journey aboard Silver Moon begins at Tasmania Golf Club before crossing to New Zealand for Otago Golf Club and Royal Wellington, culminating with two of the game’s most breathtaking clifftop courses: Cape Kidnappers and Kauri Cliffs. For Australian golfers, this one is simply unmissable.

The Beginning of Something Bigger

Silversea has confirmed these initial sailings are just the start, with further 2028 golf voyages in the PerryGolf collection to be announced shortly.

Demand for itineraries like these tends to be fierce — suites on speciality voyages are limited, and keen golfers book early. If one of these journeys has caught your eye, do get in touch and I’ll secure the details, cabin options and golf package inclusions for you before they’re snapped up.
