We chose this cruise for the itinerary and SilverSea customer service. The crew from the butler, restaurant server, cruise director, and ship capitan were exceptional. The food quality was very good and expertly prepared. The singers were very talented and provided good variety. The ports were all interesting and the tours provided a wide variety of options. The ship is a older vessel, but well maintained. The ship will need to be updated in the near future. The fitness center was small and could be refreshed. The service level by the crew is the highlight of this cruise. The crew quickly remembered your name and addressed you by your name. Hamburg, Germany was a particularly interesting port and St Michael church was very beautiful. I would recommend spending extra days in Copenhagen and London. We really enjoyed the theatre in London and visiting Buckingham Palace. Copenhagen is walkable and a friendly city.
