Silversea Cruise Reviews

My wife and I chose this cruise because it left where we wanted (New York, a 30 minute cab ride from our apartment) and went where we wanted to go (Barbados) with stops on the way (Bermuda, San Juan, St Barts) we like, plus it was a new ship, looked beautiful in the photos and we like being at sea. We're not ardent cruisers, but will take traveling by ship over an airplane when a ship is an ...

We cruised on Silversea Nova for 31 days, NYC to Lima, Nov-Dec 2023. First time on SS, after 7 cruises on Seabourn. Overall, it was an outstanding, excellent experience. Suite, service (butler and room attendant), drinks, food, excursions, state of the ship itself, were all of a high order and, to us, the vast majority of regular cruisers in this 'ultra lux' cruise segment would be as delighted ...

My husband and I were on the Barcelona to Lisbon cruise. I wanted to provide feedback from two millennials (not generally Silversea's passenger profile) for other millennials. I do want to give you some background on us though. My husband I are both Floridians and as such we often associate cruises with people wearing jorts, anchor-themed shirts, raving about 24 hour glutinous buffets. So I ...

It is the newest Silverseaship for me . I was looking g forward to the Thermal spa and cooking classes and silver note. Regrettably the Note and cooking g classes impossible to get a reservation. One books and then it’s cancelled because no space. The FCC is very inexperienced ( joined Silversea the day I boarded this cruise) and not up to Silversea standards. I got a quote from him in writing ...

ship - good condition but poorly laid out. food - excellent at times and lacking at others. service - staff all have smiles and want to please but seem to lack direction and management. daily schedule - sadly lacking; not enough activities during the day. all port lectures mysteriously scheduled for 6:30 at night interfering with cocktails and dinner. Obvious limited budget for speakers. ...

I sailed on the silver spirit a few years ago when butlers wore white gloves, the food was excellent in all areas of the ship. A key ring light was beside your bed if you needed it in the dark. Nuts and smarties were replenished in the room as well if you wanted to nibble with a wine. What a disappointment this one was. The small things that made it 5 star were gone.. the food in the buffet was ...

My wife had been itching to try a transatlantic cruise; I was intrigued by the description I read about the new ship; we both liked the Lisbon to New York itinerary. We previously sailed on Europa2 in May and enjoyed it immensely. We have also sailed on Sea Dream, Crystal, Viking Ocean and Oceania among others but never on Seabourne, Regent, or Azamara. I was expecting an upscale experience ...

I chose this cruise because it crossed the Atlantic and Silversea is always a bit better quality than the competition. I had been on the Muse before but found it too small, so I thought had hoped this ship would be the perfect size. What I found was this ship is still too small for me. That’s a personal preference. That said, I never found it crowded. I often wondered where all the passengers ...

Review of Silversea Silver Nova Transatlantic, 11/7-11/18/23 I typically cruise a mix of luxury lines, including Silversea (SS), sometimes with my husband or friends, sometimes solo. No line is perfect, each has pros and cons. I was happy to scout out the new Silver Nova on its Transatlantic (TA) voyage from Lisbon to NYC on the above dates, with only one port in between, (Ponta Delgada, San ...

Booked this cruise with my wife who chickened out because she had come down with covid on our previous cruise (see Feb. 2023 Celebrity Edge review)-took our 17 year old brilliant grandson instead. I chose this particular cruise Lisbon-southern Spain, Morocco-because SilverSea Dawn excursions included Jewish historical and cultural sites as well as the more typical. Of course a brand new ship of ...
