When it launched in 1994, Silversea was the first all-inclusive, ultra-luxurious cruise line. Today, it’s still renowned for its all-inclusive fares, boasting some of the most comprehensive packages at sea. Imagine all-suite accommodation, butler service for every guest, a staff-to-passenger ratio of nearly one to one, in-suite dining 24/7, premium beverages, complimentary shore excursions, a broad choice of restaurants, and private executive transfers and flights, among other inclusions.
Silversea is acclaimed for its small-ship luxury and immense destination portfolio. The regal fleet of mid-sized ships carry between 100 and 728 passengers. The 12-strong fleet has eight classic ships (including the new Silver Ray launching in 2024) and an expedition fleet of four. There’s the original flagship Silver Spirit, with room for 608 guests and many dining options, the ice-class Silver Endeavour with just 274 guests, and the intimate Silver Origin, purpose-built to sail the Galapagos Islands. All ships have cosy bars, spacious lounges, and the world-class Zagara spa.
The cruise line tempts with luxury cruises to 900 destinations on all seven continents, from the pristine landscapes of Antarctica to the vibrant cultures of Africa and the Indian Ocean, the icy waters of Alaska and the islands of the Caribbean. Immersive and adventurous shore excursions offer passengers once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Silversea voyages attract a sophisticated and affluent clientele, typically 50-plus years of age.
