We chose the cruise based on the wonderful itinerary - Lisbon to London. The food and the service were superb and our cabin was spacious with a lovely bathroom and large walk-in closet. However, the small ship was not stable and we rocked often and violently on some days. The decor was extremely dated though I understand it will be refurbished soon. However, it should have been updated years ago - especially at Silversea prices. Large disappointment to me as I am a designer. The entertainment was a group of singers that performed almost every night in some configuration with very very inexpensive and outdated costumes. They were very talented but some other type of performer such as a pianist or cellist would have been welcomed. All alcohol was included with the cruise fare and most people certainly enjoyed that, but for us the added expense was not worth paying Silversea prices. One employee at the shore concierge desk was rude when asked a simple question about acquiring a taxi and unhelpful at other times. Neither employee seemed to know much about the ports of call on this itinerary. We will not travel on Silversea again.

Cabin Review

Cabin VI

Spacious but very dated in decor. The bathroom looked to have been updated and it was quite nice. Our end of the ship had many problems with the air conditioning and the housekeeper insisted on vacuuming halls and stairwell EVERY night between 9 and 10. Weird. I am going back to large, stable, updated cruise ships for 1/2 the money!
