Cruising is a tremendously popular way to travel and there are many styles of cruise lines and levels of service to choose from. However, if you’re looking for a luxurious and personalized experience, Silversea may be the perfect fit for you. Let’s look at some of the benefits of a Silversea indulgent experience, one where the pampering never ceases.

Personalized service is a hallmark of Silversea.

Silversea is hyper-focused on providing exceptional personal service from the moment you board the ship. The atmosphere exudes white-gloved service as butlers assist you with embarkation and welcome you onboard. The undivided attention doesn’t stop there since the staff-to-guest ratio is nearly one-to-one.

Silversea benefits include a dedicated butler in every suite. Your butler will unpack your suitcase while you relax and get acquainted with the ship. They will keep your home away from home neat and clean, make dining reservations, or if you feel like dining in, they will provide in-suite service with flair and style. Butlers will make your spa appointments, shine your shoes, or draw you a scented bath at the end of a full day of vacationing. Travel Maestro tip: Butlers make sure your in-suite bar is always filled with your preferred beverages or if you want to host a cocktail party for a few new friends, they will happily organize that, too.  

Silversea is door-to-door all-inclusive.

Your Silversea journey can begin at your own front door. With the Door-to-Door All-Inclusive luxury, executive private transfer service will whisk you from home to the airport, then to the ship. Door-to-Door fares include international roundtrip flights and business class upgrades for selected destinations. When flights require pre- and post-cruise hotel stays, they are also included.

Along with the butler who keeps your in-suite bar filled with your favorite drinks, all beverages onboard – wine, spirits, sodas, and juices – are complimentary across the ship. Go ahead and order a bottle of bubbly and lift a champagne toast whenever and wherever you feel like celebrating!

Gourmet dining is a gastronomic benefit onboard Silversea. The S.A.L.T. Bar, Kitchen and Laboratory offers a culinary immersion to help you make real connections and memories of your destinations. Each Silversea ship has an array of options, from mouthwatering Italian to fine French cuisine to carefully crafted Asian fusion. Travel Maestro tip: Some specialty restaurants require a per-guest reservation fee, but not a dining surcharge.

Shore excursions and onboard lectures are included at no additional cost. Every port on every cruise offers at least one included shore excursion so you can engage with and learn about the places you visit. Expert lecturers onboard provide background and history about destinations, too.

Finally, gratuities for butlers, waiters, and all staff are included. You can enjoy being pampered and never have to think about how much you should tip for the superb service.

Intimate Luxury Ships

The thirteen ships in the Silversea fleet range in size from 51 to 364 suites. The benefit to you as a guest aboard Silversea is that you can visit off-the-beaten-track destinations and narrow waterways that larger ships can’t navigate. In fact, Silversea sails to over 900 ports of call from pole to pole. That’s more than any other cruise line. Camaraderie grows among the guests in the intimate environment and it’s easy to form new friendships.

While the ships are comparatively small, the Silversea suites have one of the highest space-to-guest ratios at sea. Every suite has an ocean view and most have a private veranda. Again, Silversea individualizes your comfort with an abundant choice of amenities such as personalized stationery and designer toiletries. Silversea goes to great lengths to make your voyage comfortable, stress-free, and unforgettable by including all these benefits.
