We chose Silversea on this occasion for the itinerary, although we have cruised with them before and know that their standard is our standard.
The cruise was superb from start to finish. Although the ship is a little bit tired decor-wise, it did not detract from our enjoyment at all.
The food was of a uniformly high standard. We mostly ate in the main restaurant as the choice is excellent ...
The Adriatic, and specifically Croatia and Greece, were our primary focus. Sailing out of Venice (Fusina) and ending in Athens was a perfect itinerary, with daily ports of call in between throughout the region. The door-to-door service provided by Silversea was perfect, and we were met at every stage of the trip by a representative who took care of our every need personally. The attention to ...
We've sailed on various different cruise lines, some good - Cunard; some average - Celebrity and Fred Olsen; some frankly disappointing - NCL ; but our first taste of Silverseas was way above anything we'd previously experienced. Obviously, Silverseas is more expensive then most, though this does reflect that most of those pesky extras - drinks, specialist meals, excursions, tips - that drive up ...
Just came back from a 2 months cruise in Asia on the Spirit. Everything beat our expectation from day one to the very end at Mumbai.
Embarkation at Singapore was smooth and easy.
Food is amazing. Caviar, lobster, rack of lamb, etc, available every day.
Regular wines are very good. Great Champagne. A la carte wine list are to die for.
Service is friendly and professional. Great Maitre ...

Kudos to Kenneth Whetstone of Silversea - my second fantastic cruise through his efforts! Following is a “trip report” that I sent him. Having seen some “iffy” reviews on Cruise Critic about Silversea before I wanted to give credit where credit was due!
……Of all the people I met on my cruise, I seemed to have the “best of the best” in both hotel and suite service! Of course, I beamed from ear ...
Love cruising and our normal cruise line have gradually been reducing their service and treatment of guests…. We decided to see if paying a premium would be worth it.
Wow….from the moment we boarded Silver Spirit we felt wonderful….as the ship is fully inclusive we thought it might be awkward to ask for refills of champagne, cocktails wine etc..the complete opposite happened as soon as our ...
My overall comment on this cruise through the Adriatic is that it completely sold me on Silversea, and I already have two more cruises booked for next year. I will go into more detail below, but I think in general, one piece of advice I would give to anyone considering a cruise to any destination or on any line right now is this- do not expect things to be as they might have been before the ...
This was a 15-night cruise from Athens to Athens, via Istanbul. (Somehow, CruiseCritic did not list that as an option.) We were originally booked on a 15-night cruise from Athens to the Black Sea via Istanbul, but the itinerary was changed due to the war in Ukraine. (Thanks, Russia...) And then Silversea split it into two legs -- with most of the passengers being on the full 15 nights, but ...
I normally don’t do reviews on cruise critic, bu having read some recent reviews on the Spirit thought some balance was required.
Firstly history… we have sailed with several different lines but have now settle on Silversea, we have sailed with them since 2010, and cruises on most of the ships of the fleet, we normally stick to Veranda suites but on this cruise upgraded to a silver suite, ...
