Silversea Cruises
Docking at 400 ports on 7 continents, it’s difficult to think of a destination Silversea's cruises don't reach. In each destination, Silversea's cruises offer enriching port excursions which focus on historical importance, cultural experience, artistic appreciation and culinary enjoyment. Sample port excursions for luxury cruise passengers include wine tasting in Chile, glacier trekking in Alaska or visiting ancient cities in the Mediterranean. Onboard entertainment occurs in exciting Broadway-style performances, friendly card games and live music on the ship’s dance floor, among other options.
Because Silverseas cruises only accommodate between 132 and 540 guests, onboard chefs can shop for fresh ingredients at local ports, enhancing the menu of each meal. For interested guests, Silversea's cruises recently introduced the Relais & Châteaux L'École des Chefs interactive onboard cooking school, featuring cooking classes and workshops with world-famous chefs.
The personalized service and unparalleled pampering on Silversea's cruises are revealed through the little details of the voyage, like the Pierre Marcolini chocolate each butler places on one of the nine pillow options available for the perfect night’s sleep. With an ideal blend of exploration, entertainment and relaxation, a Silversea luxury cruise will surely provide a memorable vacation.

Passenger Reviews
"I am still stunned from the level of service I received while aboard the Silver Cloud. I have sailed on Princess, RCCL, and various ferry type vessels in the Med, but have always wanted to experience a "luxury" cruise. Well, all I can say is, there is no turning back. Silversea Cruises far surpassed my expectations and then some."

Editorial Reviews
"Silversea's elegant ships are of two different sizes but of one class -- all-suite, all-inclusive, all-frills, all-the-time vessels. Silver Cloud and Silver Wind, at 16,800 tons, are roomy, intimate vessels. Each carries 296 passengers. The passenger/space ratio on these ships (the volume of internal space, divided by the number of lower-berth passengers) is among the industry's highest at 56:8. Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper, at 28,258 tons apiece, each carry 382 passengers. They have taken the company's passenger/space measure to greater heights, at 73:9."
