Silversea Luxury Cruises Reviews

Firstly the ship was only two thirds full and we were on board for 28 days. If you paid half of what they asked it would be still expensive and not value. The Seishin restaurant is supposed to be Japanese themed with a surcharge of US$40 per head. The Wagyu beef which is supposed to be marbled was not and the Miso soup was like beef broth. Any resemblance to Japanese was coincidental. The ...

We just finished 22 Days on Silver Whisper doing a B2B Fall Foliage/Canada cruise. There were some very good things, but there were instances that didn’t reflect well on Silversea. Unfortunately, the expression "You Get What You Pay For" did not apply here. As background, we’ve cruised dozens of times, mainly on Crystal, as well as Regent, Oceania, Celebrity, HAL, Lindblad, and most ...

Southampton to Lisbon including St. Malo, Bordeaux, Bilbao and Porto. The ship is new and beautiful, public spaces well-designed and elegant. The service was mostly outstanding from cabin attendants, butlers and the waitstaff. One exception was in Atlantide where service was extremely slow and at times a bit unpolished. Hot Rocks Grill in the evening was also slow and the food was bland. Food ...

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 ...

We always choose cruises for the itinerary and this one was no exception as it took us to the far north then through the Norwegian fjords and then over to the Shetlands and the Faroe Islands and then on to Iceland. Since we have sailed most of the Regent ships and only this Silversea ship, I plan to compare it to Navigator which is a similar size and age. Before we left, a friend noted that he ...

We are long time Silversea cruisers with nearly 400 days and have always defended them. Not any more. We enjoyed our recent cruise but it was hit and miss at best and considerably down market. Forget the dress code, jeans and tracksuits in the restaurant on informal and even formal nights. Guests were scruffy and dare I say unwashed! I actually began to dress down as I wondered why I bothered ...

Silversea has always been seen as the pinnacle of cruising. As it's branded as "ultra-luxury" we've waited a long time to be able to sail and with great anticipation. We found this amazing 7 night Greek Isles & Turkey itinerary and had to book it right away. We did our research, read reviews, joined even joined the informal group on Facebook to read about what to expect. It all sounded so amazing: ...

We had high expectations sailing on Silver Seas for the first time. After 30+ cruises we were finally giving them a try. Unfortunately embarkation was total chaos, with no one from Silver Seas present outside, lines of people with no idea what to do, poor start..... The Silver Whisper is showing its age. Cabin design not the greatest with makeup vanity being at the end of the bed, thus when ...

I am a long time Silversea passenger and have sailed on almost all of their boats including two previous trips on the Muse. While the shore excursion team, housekeeping staff, our butler, waitstaff etc were all excellent and went above and beyond my expectations to make our vacation wonderful, the food quality and restaurant options were very poor on this trip. This was my third cruise since ...

We choose this cruise as the ship was new and itinerary interesting as we had not seen several of the ports. The positive 1. New ship with good (not great) suites. Ship handles the seas well and is smooth 2. Lots of staff who are very polite 3. Multitude of dining options 4. Shuttle service in many cities 5. Good coffee, and cocktails. Typical low quality wines ...
