Silversea Italy Cruise Reviews

We joined three other couples to celebrate the 70th birthday of one of our companions on board. We have sailed on 23 cruises with several cruise lines in the past, but not on Silversea. We found the cabins to be quite comfortable, and the service to be above average, but the, food and wine offerings were spotty at best. In addition, the ship's layout is quirky, with little logic to the location of ...

I really mean 3.5 as a rating. We had also been on this ship when we did the Grand Voyage around South America earlier in the year...which met expectations. Not so much here. Our bathroom smelled for an odour coming from the bathroom. They tried to find the source but could not stop it. So eventually the staff (with one exception) agreed that there was no smell. So when we were ashore we ...

Booked for our wedding anniversary, expected a hassle-free excursion but to expect a few bumps along the way for a new ship. Unfortunately, SilverSea proved to be in "amateur night" mode throughout the trip, from no information provided from an MIA cruise agent at our pre-stay hotel in Monte Carlo to an unannounced US Coast Guard drill that made the ship off limits for almost a full day to have ...

After 3 cruises with Celebrity, we decided to “upgrade “ for my wife’s birthday. While the cruise was ok, there was nothing inspiring about it. The embarkation process out of Venice was a disaster due to a lack of communication. The Venice cruise port is currently not allowing ships to dock there…ships now dock in Fusina. However, passengers must check in and drop luggage off at the Venice port ...

This line offers you 1 free tour a day but most of the tours are 8:30-9:30 .When asked about that they said they can only get guides at that time .Baloney other cruise ships offered late morning or early afternoon tours.Why should I have to wake up early and gulp down breakfast on a vacation.I can see some tours like Ephesus that can get very hot and crowded.Also in Santorini why not contract for ...

Sadly, having experienced the Silverseas all inclusive luxury we won’t be returning. Having cruised seven times previously with five different mid-range cruise lines; Cunard, MSC, Celebrity and others we thought we might blow our annual holiday budget, saved after many Covid enforced cancelations, on one top end cruise and be seriously spoilt. Other than the feeling of space on board the Silver ...

1. Embarkment in Venice was horrible at best. We had a water taxi from our hotel that was fine. We were felt off at a dock and our luggage was tagged and we were told to walk to the terminal. We were also told to follow all the signs. There were No signs, we walked at what looked like an abandoned warehouse area, finally saw a girl in the distance and asked were the Silver Dawn building was and ...

We went on the cruise as a special treat as we would not normally spend this amount of money on a 10 day cruise. Silverseas were highly recommended by our travel agent who told us to expect 6 star treatment. Our initial thoughts about the ship were very positive it was in pristine condition. The staff were excellent (The staff on every cruise that we have been on were also excellent), and our ...

My wife and I were very excited about our first cruise with SilverSea. We like the smaller ships and had seen that they were focusing on a high quality food experience. Combining a trip to Italy with this cruise seemed like a wise decision. However, we were disappointed with the outcome. Let me illustrate some of our experiences, both good and bad on the cruise: Embarkation was smooth ...

It should be the first cruise and should be a great experience. On closer inspection, the ship was outmoded, worn and not up to date. Data transfer to iphone or laptop a sheer catastrophe. The bed width (we had twinbeds) only 80 cm - with a little swell you threatened to fall out. There should be a butler individually available to each cruise guest (which was mathematically completely impossible) ...
