We wanted to see Alaska and it’s Glaciers and had understood that Silversea was an all inclusive luxury line
Certainly the suite was well appointed but the public areas and restaurants were quite tired
The food was not comparable to that on the Oceania and hardly ever featured local cuisine….For example Alaskan crab. The buffet breakfast never varied and
Many of the included excursions ...
This was my third Silversea cruise and my first ever time to Alaska. I chose to do the Denali extension ahead of the 7 night cruise, then two nights in Vancouver on my own, making this a 2 week trip in total.
First, the Denali extension. In my opinion this is completely skippable, and I was not impressed with much about the 4 night trip. The Captain Cook hotel is charming from a decor/history ...
We have been cruising with Regent Seven Seas for years but wanted to try Silver Sea for this trip. The ship did not disappoint. While there are fewer suite options and the Muse is a very small ship, the number and variety of restaurants and service staff really made this a near equal with the super luxurious Regent ships. We were in Suite, which was a great location. Our butler and house ...
Originally, we were booked on a Holland America Line (HAL) Alaska cruise with a Denali land extension. We have sailed HAL twice and enjoyed them. We have sailed Oceania many times also. But, when I spotted a Travelzoo deal for the same itinerary on Silversea Silver Shadow, we rebooked. Basically paid the same price as HAL but had the benefit of Silversea figuring out the air, transfers, all ...
Regent Alaska review
Short take - Alaska gorgeous, ship lovely - cabin excellent, bed wonderful, service excellent. Crew professional and friendly. Food excellent. Denali pre-cruise poor value - disappointing. Administrative contacts with Regent office unhelpful and annoying,
Ship and cruise portion of trip
Ship Immaculate
Cabin concierge level. Was roomy, comfortable. Bed ...
A group of 18 friends gathered for an Alaska interior trip followed by the 7 day southbound cruise. The interior part of the trip was an incredible opportunity to see animals up close in a carefully managed national park. As this is a cruise review, i will focus on the ship portion but highly recommend the pre-cruise adventure.
Room: We were in veranda room 908, adjoining with 906. The room ...
We have sailed on Regent's 'sister' line, Oceania Cruises, several times and have had excellent experiences, so when we were searching for a higher end cruise line to Alaska and found Regent and learned it was all-inclusive, we decided to give them a try. Overall it was a good experience but I would not rate the experience as highly as I have rated the Oceania cruises we have experienced.

Some friends our ours recommended this cruise after they had taken it and loved it. We booked it through the travel arm of a large retail enterprise, which was probably a mistake. Prior to the cruise, there were several communication glitches, but I don't know whether that was the fault of the travel "agent" or Regent. In the end, the glitches mostly worked out, but it was a frustrating start ...
I travelled with family and they recommended this cruise line having sailed with them before. The ship is smaller than what I have previously cruised on so I was concerned about motion - turned out to be a non-issue (not sure if it was just the ship or the calmer waters we sailed mostly in Alaska). We were traveling with my senior citizen mother so the smaller ship was a great size for her to ...
I wanted to see Alaska and stay over night in Alaska. I now have slept overnight in all 50 states.
The cruise over all was very good. Room was outstanding; food and service was very good. Outside of ship needs better maintenence i.e. rusting, flaking paint and corrosion
Ports of call were great, once you got by the jewerly hucksters.
The embarkation procedure both coming and going is ...
