Asia Romantic Cruises Reviews

We chose this ship mainly because of the itinerary. The cabin was designed well and of reasonable size with a walk in closet and a balcony. The food in all restaurants was superb varied and with reasonable wine offerings. The excursions were as advertised and well managed. The smaller number of passengers made the general feeling of very few passengers on board and lots of room on excursions. The ...

My wife and I chose this cruise as we had always wanted to try a luxury cruise line, and when we saw a package that would book-end the cruise with a preceding tour of China and a post-cruise tour of India it would cross three things off our bucket list. So let's start with the positives. Our overall thoughts on this cruise and Silver Muse as a cruise ship are very positive. It is a ship of ...

We anticipated this cruise that was years in the planning. It was postponed several times due to Covid . Finally, on the fourth attempt at booking this "bucket list" travel event, we succeeded in getting aboard what was touted as an upscale ship rated a 10 for its culinary excellence. Indeed, when we entered our cabin, we were struck by its elegance and cleanliness. The Regents was a ...

As usual, I looked at this cruise for the destinations first, then Silversea's policy of having no single supplements on some of their cruises. Why all lines don't have this, I can't understand - it's the best marketing idea ever. Fill empty cabins close to sail date with singles who can afford higher-end cruises and who are often flexible with travel dates. Anyway, this time worked very well for ...

The ports in Japan were outstanding and the time of the year was perfect for us. The weather is also lovely in Japan in October. The stop in South Korea was a great bonus. The stateroom are worn, dated, and in ill-repair. Our carpeting was buckled and a "trip hazard". Our neighbors' carpet was actually ripped. The furniture had parts of the wood that were worn through the finish. The drawers ...

Review of Silversea Silver Muse and trip to Japan September/October 2023 We booked a Silver Suite, D2D, with a refund for the air. We used points, and booked Delta One, with lay flat beds. We planned to arrive a couple of days before sailing to account for any travel difficulties. We prearranged the transfer from the Haneda Tokyo airport to the Westin Yokohama, The company was ...

We wanted to see Japan but time and my wifes mobility was limited so a cruise was ideal. We enjoyed the cruise. 9 nights and 10 days around southern Japan. Pros: Speakers were great, food was above average. Breakfast was great! Excursions were great - check out the 'shotengai' [covered pedestrianized shopping streets.. only in Japan, really cool]. There is a nice one in Kochi ...

The cruise experience was good. First I appreciated that everybody was tested for COVID before boarding. Very good food and plentiful including local preparations and fresh fruits, lots of restaurants on board, also lots of activities for all ages, games, music, dancing etc. The personnel always smiling, patient and helpful, the ship clean with good maintenance. The access for the passengers to ...

Overall, a wonderful experience. The itinerary was great, and we enjoyed all of the ports and excursions. We felt blessed to see peak sakura blooms at Hirosaki Castle in Aomori, and wandering Kanazawa on our own was a highlight. The send-offs and performances from the locals at each port during sailaways are not to be missed. Really, truly lovely and touching. You must make sure to be out on ...

The ship was nice and the captain actually made time each day to walk around and speak to the passengers. I also liked the way the captain kept the ship informed each day with daily updates from the bridge on weather and port calls. The ship does cater to travelers from Japan. The food on the buffet was around 40% Japanese food and about the same in the main dining room. I would say the food ...
