We just returned from our Silversea cruise on the Silverwind after a land tour on our own following debarkation. We truly loved the ship, crew, itinerary and the entire experience. We arrived in Barcelona a day prior to embarkation and were met by a driver in a Mercedes to take us to the Ritz Carlton Arts Hotel. The hotel was fabulous and we had the opportunity to enjoy some of Barcelona. We were driven to the port the next afternoon by bus and flew through embarkation. The ship is in great shape after a recent refurbishment. Our Veranda Suite was very nice for two people and had great walk-in closet space and more than ample drawer space for our luggage.
We arrived in the lovely port of Ibiza the next morning and went on a fun wine tasting at a local vineyard in the afternoon. We also explored the port area by foot and had a great time. Ibiza was a pleasant surprise and a fun port.
We had a relaxing sea day the next day by the pool enroute to Cassis, France. Cassis is truly lovely. We enjoyed an excursion to Le Castellet and a wonderful local vineyard. The sites were gorgeous and the people were very friendly.
Great view, unbelievable closet space, comfortable bathroom, good number of outlets, nice verandah.
