"Sailing to Byzantium" is a novella by the American writer Robert Silverberg. It was first published in Asimov's Science Fiction in February 1985, then in June 1985 with a book edition. The novella takes its name from the poem "Sailing to Byzantium" by W. B. Yeats. The story, like the poem, deals with immortality, and includes quotations from the poem.
