Silversea Reviews

Every thing went as planned, the food was superb! We were very pleased with the whole deal! The butler Pablo did a superb job!

Food & dining were completely disappointing - la terrazza was chaotic, bathroom step & configuration were hard to manage. Room chairs were pretty but not comfortable. Butler and attendant were fantastic. Excursions were good.

The Muse was larger than other Silverseas ships that I have sailed. Dinner seating was assigned/guided by the dining staff. As a solo traveler, I missed out on casual conversation with others during dinner. On past cruises, I introduced myself at tables with an empty chair and was always invited to join the others at the table…those casual meetings over dinner enabled me to make acquaintances that made other trips more enjoyable. I went to the informal, no host, solo traveler gatherings at 5 pm in the lounge… I did not find such a group. It was a lonelier trip than past cruises.

The cruise was the right length and included the stops we wanted to make. It would’ve been better if it started in Tokyo is, that is an easier airport to reach. Breakfast offerings were great to start the cruise, but the Buffet had fewer and fewer offerings towards the end. compared to Seabourn the food was superior, but the entertainment was markedly less so, except for the 2 soloist acts.

This is the best cruise we have. Food, drinks are top notched. But most important, all the guests and crew members are showing their smiling faces throughout the trip. It makes a big difference as compared to our other cruise experience.

The Silver Dawn is a beautiful ship. Silversea has finally decided to add stunning art work on many walls and display nooks. Service is great, entertainment was wonderful, multi talented performers everything from Opera to Queen and not a comedian in sight! Sadly, again the food does not deliver at the same level. The attention to detail afforded to all the other aspects on the ship is just missing. Hot food, hot plate are my requests on seating otherwise food is hardly warm. Vegetables are tired and not great quality, flavours are sadly disappointing as too is level of culinary skill. The much promoted S.A.L.T experience also did not deliver except for my last meal on the ship which was outstanding. As a food professional I may have high expectations but many of my concerns are quite basic. I would certainly never consider paying for La Dame. Great cruise marred by disappointing culinary.

Very nice cruise and saw a lot of both countries. Good service and good food. Staff was very nice and helpful

Terrific cruise but the seas were generally rough throughout and especially bad crossing from New Zealand to Australia. A lot of people seasick despite wristbands, ginger and Dramamine. Not Silversea’s fault but people should be cautioned that this is not such an easy cruise.

The pampering and service was perfect as always. There was no entertainment. They showed two movies and two football games in the the theatre in the evening. I could have stayed home and done that. There were four ship entertainers and none were brought in. VERY DISAPPOINTING

Silversea does a PERFECT job when it comes to the quality of food on board, as well as the menu variety. All restaurants are excellent! Even the buffet. We had some issues regarding the services at some restaurants by the beginning of the cruise, but they were promptly fixed, and we ended up having a superb culinary experience. I got upgraded to a deluxe verandah stateroom, which was definitely nice. The cabin was the most spacious we ever had on any cruise ship. Food/beverages, onboard service and the staterooms are the best parts of the ship. However, they need to improve A LOT the onboard entertainment, there were times when there was nothing to do on board. The ship needs more music. The New Year's party was a complete disaster. And they should improve even more their shore excursions department. Some tours that we took were completely unacceptable - sometimes because of the quality of the guides, sometimes because they were trying to overload a small and old bus with 30-40 passengers. We were packed like sardines during our tour in Roatan. In Cozumel, my parents left the bus and gave up on their shore excursion, since the bus had blackout windows on a supposed PANORAMIC tour. The guide in Panama City was very irresponsible. I think they should not offer the shore excursions as part of the cruise package, since they fail to provide the same level of service on land. It would be better if they lower the price of the cruise, leaving the guests free to hire their own excursions, whether through the ship or through other local agencies.

We knew Antarctica would be very different than our travels on the other 6 continents, but the awesome grandeur and majestic views with penguins, whales and birds were beyond all expectations … words fail to capture the power of this experience. The Endeavour was lovely, the captain and crew were genuinely full of enthusiasm and the weather conditions were perfect allowing a full exploration of the 3 primary areas of Antarctica, including entering the Antarctic Circle which many are not able to do. The “awe” of this experience touched our souls.

Overall the trip was pleasant, rooms nice, boat had alot of space where one did not feel crowded all the time. Butler service was excellent as well as housekeeping. The only drawback was the Italian restaurant where one had to make a reservation and the manager there was not very accommodating or service oriented. The salt lab cooking classes were fun and excellent and learned some tips and new ideas of cooking. Some excursions better than others but well organized and not overly crowded. Just not enough time between excursions and the time one had to depart the port to do things on your own. Overall, a pleasant cruise.

Beautiful ship excellent service

The air department at Silversea was terrible. Lorena is the best travel expert on the planet

Silver Seas is a good luxury cruise line. Some improvement on excursions would help but I know they address that in their planning.

The ship was beautiful, the team members were friendly and efficient and the excursions were well planned and great fun.

This trip is one not to be missed. It is brilliant for those interested in Darwin, Galapagos, flora and fauna, marine life, exploration, and the highly professional and accommodating crew and staff of Silver Origin.

The Broadway on the Mediterranean organized by Playbill Travel was the cruise of a lifetime. Silver Dawn, the newest ship in the Silver Sea fleet is a spectacular ship! Service is white glove all the way, the staterooms (even at the lowest price point) are beautiful, huge and well thought out. Restaurants were all great. Silver Dawn is a standout!

This was our fifth Silversea Cruise. Need I say more. But I will. This was an excellent trip to Greece. The service on the ship was superior, all the restaurants service and food were fantastic. We will be cruising again with Silversea.

Getting to the ship was VERY difficult. No real address of the ship. Was told by Silversea to go to the Oyster Catcher Restaurant. They did not have a clue. Finally found where it was. Taxi drivers did not know where this "port" was; we were told all taxii dirivers would know where to go. Very hot day. Long wait.
