Cruising with Silversea Cruises

21 Mar 2018 | by Carrie Garner
Silversea Cruises is an Italian 6-star, luxury, all-inclusive cruise line with award-winning standards, white-glove butler service with every suite, and 9 intimate ships. They can take you to explore 7 continents, 700 countries, and 900 destinations in an immaculate, ultra luxury setting. 


The ratio of crew to guest is almost 1:1, so you’ll get personal service all across the ship, as well as your own butler. Your butler is there to tend to your every need over the course of your holiday. They will introduce you to your cabin, offer to unpack your luggage, make any requested reservations - and that’s only at the start of your cruise. During your holiday, they do their best to make you forget all the boring tasks like laundry and refilling your personal bar, by simply doing them for you. 





The relaxation opportunities onboard make Silversea Cruises perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway. The atmosphere is intimate due to the low passenger capacity; between 100 and 560 guests across the fleet. For a romantic dinner, there are 10 speciality restaurants across the 9 ships, with 8 of them on the flagship, Silver Muse. As well as this, Silversea Cruises often host Wine and Culinary voyages on which you can broaden your taste buds. The menu for each restaurant is influenced by the cruise line’s Italian origins, but there is also an Italian restaurant - Spaccanapoli - so that you can try the real thing for yourself.




Four of the ships in the fleet, Silver Cloud, Silver Explorer, Silver Discoverer, and Silver Galapagos, are specifically designed to visit extreme locations, and take passengers on incredible, once-in-a-lifetime expedition cruises. Rub noses with polar bears, penguins, and even Galapagos tortoises, with the promise of luxury once again when you step back onboard. 




Accommodation onboard Silverseas Cruises ships is outstanding, with all oceanview suites and fantastic facilities. There are differnet levels of suite, but even the lowest, Vista Suite, is of 6-star standard - boasting amazing home comforts and impeccable views of the incredible sights you’ll cruise past. When travelling with families, it should be noted that while Silversea Cruises do permit under 18s, they must be accompanied by an adult over 21 - and there are no specific facilities onboard for children.
