We chose Silversea on this occasion for the itinerary, although we have cruised with them before and know that their standard is our standard.
The cruise was superb from start to finish. Although the ship is a little bit tired decor-wise, it did not detract from our enjoyment at all.
The food was of a uniformly high standard. We mostly ate in the main restaurant as the choice is excellent ...
The Adriatic, and specifically Croatia and Greece, were our primary focus. Sailing out of Venice (Fusina) and ending in Athens was a perfect itinerary, with daily ports of call in between throughout the region. The door-to-door service provided by Silversea was perfect, and we were met at every stage of the trip by a representative who took care of our every need personally. The attention to ...
Love cruising and our normal cruise line have gradually been reducing their service and treatment of guests…. We decided to see if paying a premium would be worth it.
Wow….from the moment we boarded Silver Spirit we felt wonderful….as the ship is fully inclusive we thought it might be awkward to ask for refills of champagne, cocktails wine etc..the complete opposite happened as soon as our ...
This was our third Silversea Cruise this year, and to say it was outstanding is an understatement, very much a repeat cruise for us, having done it before, but the wife loves Venice and Rome, we had to days pre cruise at SS Hotel in Venice (The Bauer) again fabulous, and two days in SS Hotel in Rome (Westin) which was good, not great but good (Rooms very dated) Our May cruise (Athens to Israel) we ...
This was our first cruise with Silversea but eleventh cruise on our 7th different cruise line. Silversea is marketed as luxury 6 Star cruising and this was our first "luxury Cruse." First impressions excellent we did door to door was collected from home, transfer to airport, transfer from airport to hotel and transfer from hotel to cruise port and check in all went seamlessly. The Silver Sprit is ...
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 ...
My overall comment on this cruise through the Adriatic is that it completely sold me on Silversea, and I already have two more cruises booked for next year. I will go into more detail below, but I think in general, one piece of advice I would give to anyone considering a cruise to any destination or on any line right now is this- do not expect things to be as they might have been before the ...
Last summer, we sailed the SILVER MOON in Greece and had such an exemplary experience, we opted to sail its new sister, the DAWN last month to Italy/Croatia/Malta. Here are the Pro's and Con's:
PROS
Stunning accommodations, the Silver Suite was as perfect, comfy and amazing as last year on the Silver Moon. Best sleep ever, super high end mattress and bedding. Spacious bathroom w/ huge tub ...
Sadly, having experienced the Silverseas all inclusive luxury we won’t be returning. Having cruised seven times previously with five different mid-range cruise lines; Cunard, MSC, Celebrity and others we thought we might blow our annual holiday budget, saved after many Covid enforced cancelations, on one top end cruise and be seriously spoilt. Other than the feeling of space on board the Silver ...
1. Embarkment in Venice was horrible at best. We had a water taxi from our hotel that was fine. We were felt off at a dock and our luggage was tagged and we were told to walk to the terminal. We were also told to follow all the signs. There were No signs, we walked at what looked like an abandoned warehouse area, finally saw a girl in the distance and asked were the Silver Dawn building was and ...
