This was our first time on Silver sea and it was great! We have been on many other cruises before like Seabourn and Regent which are also great but there was something about Silversea that gave that extra touch. The size of the ship was great as it is small, where they dock in St. Petersburg Russia doesn't get any better...right behind the Hermitage. It was like staying at a five star hotel right in the middle of St. Petersburg. I recommend you get your Visa for Russia, although it is not necessary if you go on the tours offered, but with a Visa you can go off and on as you please.

Great service and amazing food. The staff really got to know you and not expecting any tips..we ended-up tipping our Butler as he was so attentive to our family needs

We are going to repeat with Silversea on their new ship the in a few months and looking forward to it.
