"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".Unfortunately embarkation was total chaos, with no one from Silver Seas present outside, lines of people with no idea what to do, poor start........"Read More

1-10 of 53 Silversea Silver Whisper Cruise Reviews for Romantic to Baltic Sea
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. ...
My daughter and her husband wanted to join us on a Silver sea cruise. We chose the Baltic cruise because of the interesting ports. We loved the cruise and the service from all of the staff was wonderful!
We have been on many cruises, on different cruise lines and Siversea is the best by far. The butler service is great and gives us the feeling that we are very special guests. The bartender ...
Friends recommended this cruise line and were on this cruise. I had to go find one of my bags downstairs myself long after all the others were delivered. It was in quarantine because of a Swiss Army knife that I travel with. I wish someone had told me that it was there. I was worried it had been lost. I don't know when it would have been delivered to me. The ship, food, entertainment, ...
Overall cruise was ok. like the smaller ship, easy to get a table at any of the restuarants. didn't like so many nights that you had to wear a coat. no shorts or jeans after 6:00 in bar was a pain.
Tried to be an "above scale" atmosphere which i think hurt the ability to relax after a busy day. no opportunity to just hang out when back from excursions, needed to get cleaned up and get a ...
