Timed beautifully with the Valencia Jazz Festival, the city will be buzzing with rhythm and energy throughout the month of July.
Alongside a curated selection of luxury excursions covering gastronomy and culture, passengers will be able to enjoy the buzz and rhythm of the city at the yearly celebration, making for a Mediterranean stopover not to be forgotten.
The festival’s main stage – Sala Iturbi at the Palau de la Música – showcases world-class performances from international jazz greats and emerging talent. The streets and plazas come alive with free open-air concerts, offering a warm, melodic backdrop to the ship’s arrival.
Silversea guests stopping in Valencia on 7th July are welcome to celebrate a pinnacle of its Jazz Festival calendar: the 25th Jazz and Latin Music Seminar.
The seminar offers an exceptional chance to engage with the roots and rhythms of jazz and Latin music through public masterclasses, jam sessions and performances, hosted by the renowned Sedajazz collective at the València Municipal Music Conservatory “Jose Iturbi.”
While ashore, Silver Ray guests can also enjoy a curated selection of shore excursions that highlight the city’s culture, heritage and landscapes.
Included tours feature a guided journey through Valencia’s past and present, a wheelchair-accessible panoramic tour and a visit to Carcaixent’s historic orange groves.
Optional excursions offer even more ways to explore, including ‘Valencia by Bike’, ‘The Art of Paella and Wine Tasting’ and an insider’s look at the Fallas of Valencia, a UNESCO-recognised cultural celebration.
For those seeking flexibility, private car or van tours with a local guide are available for both half- and full-day outings.
Valencia offers more than just a cruise stop; it’s an invitation to become enveloped in one of Spain’s most vibrant cultural moments while sailing in unrivalled comfort and style.
