Coming in 2024 is a second ship of the same size, the Silver Ray. For those with the time and the money, Silversea offers World Cruises that travel from continent to continent in a global adventure that can take as many as 140 days. Silversea's destination map is extensive, with over 900 ports on all seven continents. Sailings are at least six days long, but trips can last several weeks to a month or more.

Here, we offer five regions where Silversea consistently shines, promising a cruise meeting — if not exceeding — anyone's idea of a dream vacation. When not sailing polar regions, Silversea's expedition vessels venture literally to every country permitted, from the American West Coast and the Indian Ocean to the South Pacific and South America. For example, once you hit 350 days, you are eligible for a complimentary seven-day voyage. But, you can also take 10% off any door-to-door cruises — a perk you receive after reaching 250 days — you book after that. Silver Nova is Silversea's newest ship, with plans to set sail later this summer. It will also be the largest ship in the Silversea fleet, with space for 728 passengers.

On August 1, 2018, after receiving regulators' final approval, the acquisition deal was officially closed. RCCL owns 66,7%, while Manfredi Lefebvre d'Ovidio owns 33,3% stake and remains the company's Executive Chairman. Following the acquisition was announced the "Project Invictus" - a multi-year fleetwide project for drydock refurbishments and product enhancements. The project's first enhancements started with Silver Muse (August 19, 2018) with upgraded champagne and caviar offerings.
Embark on a door-to-door luxury cruise that immerses you in the authentic beauty of the world
Whether you hold a magnifying glass closer to a map or pull it away, the circumference is the same; each type of cruise requires a significant commitment of time, but the difference is in how — and where — the time is spent. For any cruises listed, Cruise Critic does not guarantee any specific rates or prices. Dolce Vita is the gathering place for our savvy travellers of the world, a place where guests mingle and exchange stories and where new faces become lifelong friends. The Panorama offers all the comfort and attention to detail that you can expect aboard. The Classic Veranda Suite provides generous living space for voyagers.
Silversea Cruises Tips, Activities, and Overview
Team trivia drew a steady bunch and as did some S.A.L.T. lectures. The Deck 11 jogging track attracted more walkers than runners, cruisers often pausing to soak up the view. Serious workouts take place in the Fitness Centre, a good-sized, well-equipped venue.
Prices shown may include special promotions, you must call to verify if you qualify for all promotions. In addition, unless otherwise noted, pricing listed above and throughout the website are cruise-only and does not include airfare. The best part about the Venetian Society is that the benefits are cumulative. It's not similar to a points program where once you redeem points, your balance gets lower until you earn more. With Venetian Society, you can take advantage of that perk once you hit the next milestone while enjoying previous bonuses.
Onboard Luxury
Starting December 2021, all 12 fly-cruise itineraries are on Silver Explorer. Antarctica Bridge bookings were opened on December 10, 2019, with fares from USD 17,500 per person (with double occupancy). Yes, if you are going on a classic cruise ship; no if you're sailing on a luxury expedition cruise.
Wildlife viewing opportunities also include land- and marine iguanas, giant tortoises, blue- and red-footed boobies, sea lions, penguins, finches. Fleetwide Starlink installations were scheduled to be completed in 2023-Q1. Since March 30, 2022, Silversea offers to all customers as standard (ticket price-inclusive) private executive transfers. The Grand Pacific Voyage draws a ring around Oceania, islands in the Pacific Ocean, then drags it toward Japan for a comprehensive sample of some of the region’s largest island nations.
Cruises
To truly immerse yourself in your destination requires a brand-new experience. Silver Dawn delivers such a complete package, the ultimate luxury experience, equally balanced in all departments. S.A.L.T. Lab books 24 students per hands-on cooking class for exploring regional recipes. I thought our recipes were simple, fashioning chick pea and salted cod salad, and scrambled eggs with salt cod and crisp potatoes, yet our Portuguese instructor fascinated by explaining her culinary culture. (There’s another hot tub at the ship rear on Deck 10.) Passengers mostly moved between the pool, Pool Bar, loungers and the Grill.
Butlers draw (battery-powered) candlelit aromatherapy baths post-treatment and present a wooden tray with champagne and a handmade macaron. I loved the Otium comfort-food room service menu, with treats like truffled popcorn and foie gras burger on brioche, among several selections. Beeline it to Silversea’s next-gen spa Otium, especially if reclining post-treatment, sipping champagne and nibbling house-made treats like marshmallows and dark chocolate truffles, makes you grin. (Those sweets were so good, I stuffed extra in my bathrobe pockets for later.) Modeled after the ancient Roman elite class’s lifestyle, Otium emphasizes indulgence as much as pampering treatments.
Unlike a world cruise, which is a one-off, typically offered once a year, several grand voyage destinations are offered each year, usually including numerous countries in the specified region. Between its expedition and cruise arms, Silversea offers some killer itineraries with pretty much every bucket list cruise destination on your list, as well as a ton of places you've never heard of. Africa, the Polar Regions, the South Pacific, Australia, South America and the Galapagos -- even the Russian Far East -- if it's near an ocean or sea, Silversea likely goes there. Because Silversea has both a luxury cruise and luxury expedition fleet, you can stay with the same trusted company for all of your cruise vacations. Want a relaxing beach vacation in the Caribbean, a whirlwind sightseeing tour of Europe or an adventurous exploration of Antarctica?
For example, on a Silver Cloud cruise from Athens to Lisbon, passengers visit Tunisia and Algeria, venturing to seaside ports with 16th-century mosques, old casbahs and Spanish fortresses. The line's first expedition Grand Voyage in 2024 is a 125-day cruise on Silver Wind, sailing from the South Pole to the North Pole, offering the best of both Antarctica and the Arctic. Along the way, it will call on major highlight cities — Lisbon, London, Buenos Aires and Reykjavik, for example — across several continents.
On the other end of the spectrum, you have larger ships such as Silver Spirit, which was renovated in 2018. With space for 608 passengers, it spends much of its time sailing around Europe, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean. As a traveler who spends much time in the UK and Europe, I really enjoy meeting passengers and making friends with those living outside the United States. Well-off passengers, mostly over 55-years-old and traveling as couples or a friends group, were friendly and open to conversations in lounges or the whirlpool. No one overdressed, sticking to casually elegant looks except when the dress code required more formal attire. The modified north-central cruisetour itinerary departs Baltra for San Cristobal with a newly added circumnavigation of Isla Daphne Grande (Daphne Major).
