"The first we heard from the Captain was the next morning "ladies and gentlemen the weather in the port of Runavik is too bad for us to port, we will go around the backside of the Faroe Islands were the seas are a bit calmer and stay there until this evening, your safety is our priority".It is unforgivable for the Captain and Silver Seas to have subjected the Passengers and Crews to this...."Read More

1-10 of 104 Europe Silver Whisper Europe Cruise Reviews
We chose this cruise because we really liked the itinerary and have always wanted to try Silversea. We were very disappointed. Beginning with no one from Silversea to greet us at the hotel where we had to wait for several hours in the lobby after our plane arrived until we were bused to the pier. After a few hours we took a shuttle to just get out for a bit and have lunch. We understand some ...
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 ...
Embarkation very chaotic
The room is very nice but the bed is small
Room staff very good
Restaurant - staff generally poor and not very helpful
-maitre D of the main restaurant is non existent
-food quality is hit and miss and mostly miss. not the same as Oceania or Regent
- the communication system between kitchen ...
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 ...
Chose this cruise because it circumnavigated Iceland and wanted a high-end cruise line. What I got was mediocre at best. Before boarding, the airport transfer brought us to the wrong place. Then we were brought to the correct location to have our temperatures checked, except after standing for 45 minutes in a room crowded with 100 people, no bathrooms, and no seating, we found out that the ...
We chose this cruise as a 1 country short break to mitigate travel risks associated with Covid
Boarding was chaotic in Reykjavik as taxi drop off was at a crew reception area in a portacabin with no Rest rooms or refreshments
At 2pm a Silversea representative arrived with a nurse - documents were hurriedly collected including the required PCR results and the nurse checked for pyrexia. There ...
We have sailed with Silversea three times now. This time, we joined Silver Whisper in Lisbon and headed north. Our cabin was comfortable and well positioned. Generally, the food was good, though we found La Dame unexciting. The wait staff, bar staff, butlers and stateroom staff were lovely and helpful. The talks were interesting, the entertainment varied and a little patchy. Loved the jazz group. ...
We chose this cruise from London to Lisbon a segment of the complete cruise to Barcelona as a back up to our Scenic Eclipse Cruise which was cancelled due to the new ship having construction delays and us already having vacation time booked from work. We stayed in London a few days prior at the ship hotel Conrad which was a beautiful hotel in a great location walking distance to Buckingham ...
We prefer to cruise back from Europe rather than flying. We have been on Silversea for only four years, but it is our "go-to" cruise line. This trip fit in with our earlier plans:
started with a week in Madrid in a rented apartment; then fly to Porto for an Ama Waterways cruise up and down the Douro River; then the high-speed train to Lisbon for a few days waiting to board the Whisper fro the ...
