Our beautiful Oberoi hotels in Delhi and Agra/Taj Mahal with outstanding food - unfortunately I took many videos instead of photos, so not visible in my review

Food and wine has deteriorated since our last 2018 trips
"Yet Silverseas booked our tours in the morning when everything was shut and nothing to see or the shop.The other issue very poorly handled were the Tours ashore which were during Ramadan in 5 of the countries we visited...."Read More

Very disappointing

Review for a Africa Cruise on Silver Spirit

We booked this back-to-back (31 day) cruise over a year ago. The itinerary took us to ports we’d never been before - Madagascar, Mauritius, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai - and we’d had such a wonderful experience on the Moon a year ago that we were looking forward to a repeat, which of course did not happen. This was our 63rd cruise, but only our 3rd - and most likely our last - on Silversea. Our ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We have toured South Africa before ...Cape Town and Garden route route by road. We wanted to try a cruise for the first time as it included two stops in Namibia with Silver Spirit. At least is what was planned. After our booking Luderitz was cancelled in Namibia and came off the schedule due to so called operational challenges! And hooray was the message therefore an extra day in Cape Town! Having ...

Expectations were high as we flew to South Africa on time {the worry of travelling BA behind us} to find a totally disjointed hotel selected by Silverseas. Well, it’s only one night, it can only get better from here... or so we thought thinking positively. Next day came and we took a private transfer to the ship. We arrived at the terminal to find around 50 people queuing in front and an hour ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

luxury ship. not a all. from the beginning of not being to board the ship in LA due to computer problems at the port, to the lack of service. the food on this ship was simply very poor, same menus every day. food was delivered cold and the staff really didn't care. tour desk and tours were a disaster. absolutely no one knew how to get the passengers off the boat to their scheduled tour. ...

This was our 5th Silversea Cruise and we choose it for the Itinerary. First time on the Spirit, embarkation was good, cabin great as usual. The problems started when because of Jet Lag we woke up at 3am, no internet or Tv working. This went on for 3 days. I even asked if we could move cabins and was asked" why is TV so important to you?" Wowzers, Wasnt expecting that..I said its not important ...

This was our 21st cruise. Having sailed before with Princess, Celebrity and Cunard. We chose this cruise firstly for the itinerary and secondly for the fact that this was supposed to be a luxury cruise. We searched and searched and could not find the luxury that was supposed to be aboard this vessel. In fact what we found was a ship in need of modernising and updating. The ships overall ...

This was one of my ‘bucket list’ trips. I am 75 yo, and really wanted to see the pyramids near Luxor and the UNESCO Petra Ruins. Alas, world politics interfered. Arrived in Athens to Silvers assigned hotel. Perfectly adequate with a view of the Acropolis and the current Greek Legislature House.’ Had asked agent at Silver Sea multiple times for revamped itinerary. None was given. It had ...

My wife and I chose this cruise to finish a self managed holiday as we were in Europe and wanted to travel through the Suez Canal to Dubai and this cruise had the stops we wanted included three days in Egypt. My wife and I cruised the Silver Spirit from Athens to Dubai in late October through to mid-November 2023 and now have had time to reflect on the experience from booking through to ...

The door to door service and cruise itself was fine. The chosen ports were nice destinations. Also, the staff onboard is friendly and engaging. The food in the restaurants is ok, drinks at the bar are good, wine selection OK. entertainment is also fine. We didn’t see our butler very often. Last minute changes on excursions was not very well organised and deviating information was given to ...

We have over 130 days travel with SS on various ships and each time and on each ship we have felt ‘special’ and enjoyed every aspect - food, service, entertainment - everything. However, we really struggled to enjoy this cruise. In the Atlantide the food was served luke-warm and on occasions, after long wait. Even then accompanying sauces and butter had to be chased up. The extremely sparse and ...
