Your dream destinations: Greece, Turkey, Italy & Croatia. Your luxurious ship: the NEW Silver Moon. Your congenial host: O’Brien Estate. What a combination!
O’Brien Estate owners, Bart & Barb, look forward to having you join on their next adventure. Each year, they select different destinations and itineraries to satisfy your palate through local wine and food. They look forward to making new discoveries together with their members, many of whom have joined them on multiple cruises.
Of the two exciting adventures offered in 2020 (each already sold out), the Mediterranean cruise is aboard the brand new Silversea ship Silver Moon, departing Athens, Greece on September 23. This 9-day cruise visits eight ports in four different countries (Greece, Turkey, Italy and Croatia) to some of the most historic places in Europe, with the tales of Socrates and Plato in your midst. Must see Ephesus and Rhodes’ colossus are obvious choices for historians, while the bougainvillea strewn streets of Mykonos and unparalleled beauty of Dubrovnik will soothe even the most agitated of minds. End your journey in Venice’s magnificent collection of tiny islands connected by bridges across 150 different canals, and be transported back in time with a magical gondola ride.
The O’Brien’s have created a truly wonderful travel experience for their members and wine lovers, by offering a hand-selection of their finest O”Brien Estate wines during private receptions, a seminar and tasting, and the ever-popular food and wine paired Winemakers Dinner. Together you’ll experience new places, learn about different cultures, sample the local cuisine and regional wines.

There is something uniquely satisfying about a smaller ship. The intimacy. The friendly camaraderie. The excitement of exploring secluded harbors where others cannot go. Silversea ships can sail up narrow waterways into the heart of a city, or tie up right at the pier while others must anchor off shore. The new Silver Moon – to be delivered August 2020 – will be the epitome of 21st century luxury travel and establish a new era of Silversea. At 40,700 gross tons with a capacity to accommodate 596 passengers, she will mirror her sister ship Silver Muse and maintain the small-ship intimacy and spacious all-suite accommodations which are the hallmarks of the Silversea Experience.
