Seeing all the possible Voyages you’re able to embark on inSea of Thievescan be a little overwhelming. It gets even worse when time-limited Gilded Voyages pop up, but they shouldn’t be something you avoid.
Diving intoSea of Thievesas a newcomer isn’t easy. While its tutorial does a great job of outlining the basics, there’s still a lot of seafaring you’ve got to master by yourself or with the help of the community. Something you won’t get to grips with until they pop up as part of in-game events is Gilded Voyages. When they do appear, they’ll leave you with nothing but questions. But you needn’t worry because they’re designed to be the most lucrative activity of all.
What are Gilded Voyages inSea of Thieves?
Gilded Voyages are enhanced versions of standard Trading Company Voyages inSea of Theives. They offer more loot for your efforts and generally task you with slightly more complicated tasks. Once you begin one, you’ll need to complete it before logging off if you want to claim all of the available loot.
The reason they’re different from the Trading Company Voyages is that you may’t tackle them whenever you want. They’re time-limited events that offer better rewards, but only for a short period of time. You’ve got to drop everything else and complete them if you want to make the most of them.
There are a few different types of Gilded Voyage in the game. I’ve listed all of them below, along with an explanation of what you can expect to receive from them.
How to get Gilded Voyages inSea of Thieves
The only way to get Gilded Voyages inSea of Thievesis by being awarded them as part of an event. This usually happens around the holiday season or big moments in the game’s lifetime. For example, all players could claim up to 4 Gilded Voyages in the weeks following thePS5 version’s launch.

From May 16th-23rd (10:00 UTC), all pirates will have access to up to four new single-use, time-limited Gilded Voyages of the Ancient Isles, inviting you to sail for lucrative rewards and the Seamark Tribute Tattoo! Just, do beware of other pirates. Please.pic.twitter.com/CI9UNPfNyJ
This perfectly demonstrates how Gilded Voyages work, though. Over a number of days, players can claim them and set sail on lucrative adventures to claim as much gold and treasure as possible. However, the Voyages must be completed within the allotted timeframe. Otherwise, players miss out on their chance to claim the best loot.
