Silversea Cruise Reviews for Romantic to Europe

ship - good condition but poorly laid out. food - excellent at times and lacking at others. service - staff all have smiles and want to please but seem to lack direction and management. daily schedule - sadly lacking; not enough activities during the day. all port lectures mysteriously scheduled for 6:30 at night interfering with cocktails and dinner. Obvious limited budget for speakers. ...

This was one of my ‘bucket list’ trips. I am 75 yo, and really wanted to see the pyramids near Luxor and the UNESCO Petra Ruins. Alas, world politics interfered. Arrived in Athens to Silvers assigned hotel. Perfectly adequate with a view of the Acropolis and the current Greek Legislature House.’ Had asked agent at Silver Sea multiple times for revamped itinerary. None was given. It had ...

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 ...

My wife and I chose this cruise to finish a self managed holiday as we were in Europe and wanted to travel through the Suez Canal to Dubai and this cruise had the stops we wanted included three days in Egypt. My wife and I cruised the Silver Spirit from Athens to Dubai in late October through to mid-November 2023 and now have had time to reflect on the experience from booking through to ...

The door to door service and cruise itself was fine. The chosen ports were nice destinations. Also, the staff onboard is friendly and engaging. The food in the restaurants is ok, drinks at the bar are good, wine selection OK. entertainment is also fine. We didn’t see our butler very often. Last minute changes on excursions was not very well organised and deviating information was given to ...

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 ...

We have over 130 days travel with SS on various ships and each time and on each ship we have felt ‘special’ and enjoyed every aspect - food, service, entertainment - everything. However, we really struggled to enjoy this cruise. In the Atlantide the food was served luke-warm and on occasions, after long wait. Even then accompanying sauces and butter had to be chased up. The extremely sparse and ...

Would not cruise with them again. Food mediocre especially buffet lunch and two of the restaurants charged $60 and another $40 per person in the evening. Champagne served was Axel Yaz !! On the third day was informed they had run out of Axel Yaz and they were trying to push Prosecco. It was an expensive cruise but in our opinion not worth the money. The suites were okay but nothing special. ...

Overall we enjoyed this line but likely not enough to be repeat guests. Food was not 6 star quality, not enough variety. At the buffets, often it was overcooked. Wine was very good though. Entertainment ok. Not great. Didn't like the fact that in all but two of the dining venues you needed a reservation. This allows for no spontaneous food decisions. Also would prefer that the restaurants ...

First time sailing with SS (and Silver Moon) but have sailed on about a dozen other cruises including Seabourne and Oceania many times. Silversea, at least in our experience with this particular cruise was by far the best. 10/10. We were highly impressed. Beautiful new ship, elegant but also contemporary in design, blended the two perfectly. Suite was on par with Seabourne but with much better ...
