This Silversea Cruise was an excellent experience. The boat was top class, the staff were exceptional and the food very good. The ports of call were well organised with information of each port being provided via a nightly news letter and/or talks explaining the facts of the next port. there were numerous activities onboard although we did not participate. There was a choice of dining by ourselves or joining some fellow cruise passengers if you wanted. A very big bonus is the fact that you do not feel like you are putting your hand in your pocket every time your wanted a drink of some food. Everything is included which provided for a relaxed and hassle free cruise. If there was one criticism if would be on leaving the ship the organisation could have been better when tranferring from ship to customs. It was a little disorganised at the coach transfer. This normally would not be an issue except it is the last point at which you touch the Silversea service, this should be equally if not more important than joining the ship. A very small thing and would certainly not change my recommendation that Silversea is a marvellous way to see the world and relax
