Silversea Cruise Lines Details

The name "Silversea" was chosen because it connotes quality and luxury as well as capturing the romance and special sensations of the sea. As an innovator in the ultra-luxury segment, Silversea quickly became the favourite among modern affluent travellers with its all-inclusive pricing, and unmatched onboard product enhanced by partnerships with the world's most respected luxury brands --Bvlgari, Davidoff and Relais & Châteaux.

Year after year, Silversea receives the highest awards from authoritative guidebooks and prestigious publications on both sides of the Atlantic. Among the many awards and accolades consistently received, Silversea has been named number one in Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards, received a coveted "Six Stars" from Fielding's Guide to Worldwide Cruises and was named "World's Best Small Ship Cruise Line" by Travel + Leisure. Here's why:

Onboard Experience

Silversea ships are like intimate and exclusive resorts. When you retreat to your suite, you'll revel in the space, privacy and fine appointments. More than 80% of Silversea suites have private teak verandas where you can watch the world go by. Crisp bed linens, plush bathrobes, Bvlgari toiletries and personalized stationery; nothing has been overlooked. Intimate public rooms on their ships are conducive to meeting your fellow guests. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting, much like that of a fine private home.

Uncompromising Commitment to Service

Silversea's service is simply the world's best. It is a philosophy, an attitude - complemented by distinctive European style and inherent in all that we do. Achieving perfection is driven by their desire to please. To see you smile. It begins the moment you step aboard with a warm welcome and a flute of champagne, and follows throughout your voyage with an unspoken anticipation of your needs. Sailing on Silversea's intimate ships is like visiting a friend's home; you're greeted by name and your personal preferences are always remembered.

All Inclusive Value

Aboard Silversea's ships, you will find all the things you love most about cruising, plus one more distinctive benefit: Silversea's unmatched, all-inclusive value.

Other cruise lines claim to offer one truly all-inclusive fare. Yet only Silversea covers virtually every little detail, such as your gratuities and port charges. All beverages including, wines, champagnes, and spirits are complimentary everywhere throughout the ship. They even treat you to a complimentary shore side event, The Silversea Experience, on many sailings.

Entertainment and Activities

Designing your day is up to you. With neither schedules nor routines to hem you in, choosing what you want to do and when you want to do it are the most difficult daily decisions you'll have to make.

Your Silversea ship offers many activities for you to participate in. Join a culinary demonstration and learn some professional secrets from our own chefs, as well as renowned visiting Relais & Châteaux chefs. Join fellow guests in the card room for a game of contract bridge. Check out a good book or a stack of videos from The Library and retreat to your suite. Attend an enlightening presentation by a guest lecturer and learn more about the region you're visiting.

Because Silverseas knows you crave new experiences, they offer many opportunities to explore new areas. Learn a new language, brush up on your dance steps, take part in a stimulating book discussion or delve into the subtleties of wine appreciation.

If sports figures prominently in your day's activities, practice your golf putting, compete in the water volleyball competition or join an aqua aerobics class. Of course for some, lazing by the pool, a cool drink in hand, is exercise enough.

Mandara Spa Program

The name "Mandara" comes from ancient Sanskrit legend about the God's quest to find the elixir of immortality and eternal youth. Mandara Spa, originating in Bali, has embraced the legend with over 50 spas worldwide. On Silversea, they have developed unique and exotic spa treatments including treatments from the UK's most innovative spa brand, Elemis, to reflect the beauty, spirit and traditions of Bali. Silversea cannot promise immortality, but when you experience one of their unique treatments, you will feel as if you can live forever.

Silversea Cruises was voted the World's Best Spa at Sea by the readers of CondeNast Traveller magazine. Their spa menus include a wide array of choices for facials, body rituals, massages, salon services and personalized fitness programs.

The Dining Experience

As your ship changes latitude and longitude, Silverseas' menus change to reflect the flavours of the region. The main event: inspired dining. Step into The Restaurant and you know you've arrived for a very special dining experience. The Restaurant is elegant, but not stuffy. The European-trained waiters are attentive and personable. The finest wines from an extensive list are carefully chosen and poured into sparkling European crystal glasses. Polished Christofle silverware is laid on crisp linens.

The stage is now set for the main event: inspired dishes created by Silversea's Master Chefs. These dishes are complemented by those of La Collection du Monde, created by the world-class chefs of culinary partner Relais & Châteaux. Marked by innovation and creativity, you're sure to enjoy these epicurean delights and a dining experience that rivals the best restaurants the world over.

Staterooms

There is something magical about discovering the world from your very own private veranda. Feeling the ocean breeze caress your skin. Listening to the surf gently roll by. Which is why seventy-five percent of Silverseas' all-suite accommodations feature a private teak veranda.

Beautifully appointed with all the comforts of home, every suite features a marbled bath with a full-sized tub. In all, Silversea offers six different types of suites. Ranging in size from almost 250 square feet to over 1,300, each is decorated in hushed pastels and warm hues and offers a rare degree of finesse and refinement.

Luxury is found in every detail. Cut crystal. Crisp Frette linens. Personalized stationery. Bvlgari soap, shampoo and lotion. And yes, even signature teak verandas.

Silversea Wine Series

True oenophiles will delight in Silversea's exclusive Wine Series Cruises. On select cruises, you can explore the world's greatest wines and wineries - on board and ashore. Enjoy lectures, tastings and guided excursions to wineries, cellars and vineyards by top experts and wine makers.

Relais & Chateaux Culinary Series
