Silversea Asia Cruise Reviews

We are not seasoned cruisers, but have really enjoyed three previous small ship cruises with Windstar. We were expecting to go up a notch in opting for Silversea, but were sadly disappointed. The one saving grace, was that all the front-facing bar, cleaning, catering and waiting staff were all fantastic, friendly and welcoming. However, that only demonstrated the contrast with the more senior ...

This was our 5th Silversea Cruise and we choose it for the Itinerary. First time on the Spirit, embarkation was good, cabin great as usual. The problems started when because of Jet Lag we woke up at 3am, no internet or Tv working. This went on for 3 days. I even asked if we could move cabins and was asked" why is TV so important to you?" Wowzers, Wasnt expecting that..I said its not important ...

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 ...

We had a wonderful experience with Silversea cruising the Baltic before they were recently bought by Royal Carribean, but our recent experience was absolutely the WORST ever even on lines with fewer stars. Note that the Royal Carib is now the most profitable of the big cruise lines, and it appears this profit is being extracted by cost cutting and penurry. We had looked forward to the "cruise ...

My husband and I just returned from the Silver Whisper in Japan. A little background, we have over 25 cruises under our belts including 5 since Covid ended, this cruise being our 6th post-Covid. We have cruised Seabourn, Oceania, Viking, Azamara, and suites on Royal, NCL, and Celebrity as well as regular rooms on Princess and Royal. The Great The food quality and preparation were excellent ...

This was a strange mixture of everything from perfect to intolerable on a small ship luxury voyage. One perfect part was the “door-to-door” performance, cost is a different matter, but performance was perfect. The limo transfers at home, via BlackLane, were on time and the drivers were excellent. The transfer from Haneda to the Tokyo Conrad was also perfect. The Conrad was an excellent ...

We are disappointed in almost every respect. The food is probably the worst. Dining hours often do not correspond in any useful way with the excursion hours. The menu is beautifully written up, but the food poorly prepared. For example, we have twice been served fish so over cooked we have just about needed a knife to saw through it. Pastries meet a typical supermarket standard. Breakfast sausages ...

Not value for a 5/6 stars cruise. First, the cabin is outdated and lack of maintainence. The shower room is very small and full of watermark at the edge. Very unpleasant. The bathtub is good size but yellowish. No one want to soak in such an old bathtub. The carpet is not flat. Absolutely needs replacement. You can see broken stage in the Show Lounge, I only came there for safety brief. I ...

Doubtless, this is a comfortable and clean ship with excellent cabins ( apart from a hard mattress ) and has some very obliging crew, especially the butler and cleaner assigned to our suite. Beyond that though: The number 1 complaint is the food, which is substandard at best. In 2 weeks we never once had a complete meal where we were satisfied. The meat was completely tasteless on every ...

Silversea is promoted as – and to some degree is – a luxury cruise line with medium sized vessels (which translates to fewer passengers), attractive destinations for the more mature and experienced traveler, and inclusive options including shore excursions, wine and spirits, and gratuities. Just the cruise I was looking for after experiencing several crowded, cities on the seas with buffet dining ...
