Silversea Copenhagen Cruise Reviews

Friends whom we met last year on a long Viking cruise urged us to join them on a Copenhagen-Copenhagen r/t and said that 'SilverSea (SS)was like Viking, only better". We disagree. It's 'like' Viking--NOT identical. We read many reviews before (and after) our cruise. What's better on SS? Embarkation and disembarkation were better handled than on Viking. For some reason, those pose as ...

We had not travelled on Silversea since before Covid. Our last sailing was on Silver Muse in 2018. In between times we have taken several cruises on Seabourn, including the Ovation in 2022. Overall both companies have changed since Covid, cutting out small things, presumably as a cost cutting exercise. It is hard to say that one company is definitely better than the other as both have ...

I don’t understand the negative reviews. We are a couple in our 60s, very active and we chose the ship for the ports of call on the coast of Norway and the fact that it was a relatively new ship, in service for about a year. The staff was well trained, always greeting everyone with a smile and they seemed to know us early on, knowing our drink selections and eager to please. Our room steward was ...

I didn't want to be on a cruise due to food restrictions.. But, my travel agent assured me that it wouldn't be a problem... and it has been my main problem on the ship... BUT, after 3 days of cruising the ship was finally able to accommodate me... The ship TRULY needs a food allergy menu that lists ALL of the ingredients that are used.. When at home I can make and cook any meal I want ...

Our tenth cruise on Silversea and first since COVID was overall a very good experience. Embarkation was outside on a very windy ground level pier. First your COVID test results are checked, then a form to fill out, hopefully without it blowing away, then a quick check by the ship's doctor of vaccination cards, then actual check in to exchange passports for keys. Somehow in all this they ...

Silver moon is brand new and very well designed. A rather bulky exterior makes for a very appealing and spaceous interior for the 600 guests. The standard cabin is large and held in light grey and beige nuances. Large and well appointed bathroom. Walk-in closet. Nice balcony. The public spaces, lounges and venues are varied, plenty and with a light, modern design. Super ambiance. The service is ...

First time sailing Silver Seas. (Silver Spirit) It lived up to its billing. Almost everything was right, and when it wasn't it was appropriately addressed. Entertainment and Activities abord the ship were more (high quality talent) than anticipated. The cabins were spacious. Larger than expected. Attentive butler service and cleaning were almost "too much" but we got used to it. Felt there ...

Nice cruise with rough weather. Ship was great as was staff. Excursions ok but extra so added quite a bit to the cost of the trip. Spent a lot of time cruising so excursion time was limited. Three consecutive days of sailing which were pretty boring. Gym was so small we never could get in. Packed at all times with people staying for long work outs. Food was excellent. Several restaurants ...

Our first time on Silversea, chosen for the luxury small ship and port-intensive itinerary in the Baltic. Most guests were from the USA, the rest mainly from Canada, Australia and the UK, typically couples in their 50s, 60s and 70s. The highlight was St Petersburg where we stayed for two nights just a few hundred metres from the Hermitage. Numerous group (and private) excursions are available, ...

We had a fabulous cruise, in part because of the high points of the Silversea experience, and in part because we experienced unseasonably wonderful weather and the ports on this 7 day cruise, including the embarkation and disembarkation cities, were so wonderful; St. Petersburg was especially wonderful over three long, intensive days. As a port intensive itinerary the shortcomings of the cruise ...
