Every ship and date at each port
Silver Moon sailed 14-night Tokyo roundtrips in autumn 2026 and returns in spring and autumn 2027; Silver Nova sailed a spring 2026 circle.
Three things Silver Nova & Silver Moon passengers should know
Kanazawa and Hakodate join the classic loop — two ports most Pacific itineraries skip. Kenroku-en garden alone justifies the Kanazawa call.
Busan, Jeju AND Incheon on one sailing — treat the Korean days as a first-class destination, not a formality.
Some smaller ports use tenders — mobility planning matters more than on the mega-ships.
Questions Silver Nova & Silver Moon passengers ask
Where does Silversea sail in Japan in 2026?
Two ships split the year. Silver Nova ran an April 14-night Tokyo roundtrip (Shimizu, Kobe overnight, Sasebo, Busan, Kanazawa, Hakodate, Miyako). Silver Moon ran 14-night Tokyo roundtrips in autumn, adding Korea — the 17 October sailing called at Kochi, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Busan, Jeju, Incheon (overnight), Sasebo, Kagoshima and Shimizu — then left Tokyo for Singapore on 31 October. Silver Moon returns in spring and autumn 2027.
