Silversea Silver Muse Cruise Reviews for Singles to Australia & New Zealand

Just off a 14 Day Silver Muse Cruise from Melbourne AU to Auckland, NZ. Weather was good (not great) and par for the course, the Tasman gave us a little bit of bad weather thus we missed Bluff NZ, our second port of call. No big deal, as we were being pampered aboard with staff that was so attentive. No ask was too big or too small. They and they alone are the outstanding element of the trip. ...

We are in our mid 50s, have done 6 cruises with 5 carriers and this was the worse. Electric wheelchairs, walking frames, everywhere. The average age group is 70+. They love not leaving their rooms or the ship for 2 weeks so it suits them. The ship is too small (550 People) so is limited to going into small destination ports only as it can’t cope with over 1.5mtr (4ft waves) in places like ...

Having had to cancel a cruise further out this 15 day cruise from Cairns to Auckland was a great alternative. Having travelled on Silversea ships previously including a recently completed a wonderful Silversea cruise from Darwin to the Kimberley we were pleased to see the ongoing level of service aboard Silver Muse. As a sister ship to Silver Spirit which we had previously sailed upon it was very ...

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 choose this cruise because it left Melbourne which suited us. we always loved Silversea‘s, and that was the Reason to cruise with them, sad to say this is the last cruise with them ,I can’t understand how people can give this cruise five stars. This has been the worst cruise we had with Silversea‘s ever. If you do the ships tour, it is beautiful. no doubt about it I have no trouble recommending ...

We have waited over three years for this vacation to New Zealand and Australia. Our expectations were not as high as in the past due to global post pandemic supply chain issues, global personnel shortages, the restart of the Silver Muse only one month earlier. We also had suffered through three cancellations of this trip due to the pandemic and the closing of New Zealand and Australia. While ...

My wife and I chose this cruise as a sampler of Silversea for future longer cruises. We wanted to try a top quality cruise line, and had sailed the same route - down the east coast of NZ - with Celebrity Solstice in 2020 just before COVID, but wanted to try a smaller ship and larger cabin/suite. We chose door-to-door and got business class airfares from Sydney to Auckland to start the cruise, ...

Chose this cruise as dates and itinerary fitted our schedule. Usually cruise with Regent Seven Seas. So this was the standard for comparison. Transfer from airport and embarkation at Sydney was an omnishambles. No procedures, no information, no-one in charge, lack of communication, no instructions. Had to hunt for contact at airport. Took us to the 4 Seasons Hotel where no one was ...

We had previously enjoyed cruises with Silversea and were cruising from Sydney to Auckland. This was our 9th cruise with Silversea and our 2nd Christmas Holiday Cruise. From start to finish it was extremely poor, with the Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve food and celebrations being totally disgusting. On both occasions we and our fellow guests were served out of sync and cold food! Unlike on ...

We were looking for a trip to Australia and New Zealand over the 2022 Christmas Holidays. Once on board the silver suite was very nice, the ship was in great condition and the multiples restaurants and lounges were very good. Butler and restaurant staff were excellent. Wi-Fi was available but slow. However, we will never sail Silversea again. Embarkation from Sydney was chaos - 2 plus ...
