The Silversea Experience

In 1994 Silversea Cruises inaugurated two, 6-star rated ships the Cloud and Wind, each with only 296 guests. Silversea is rated the “Best Small Ship Cruise Line in the World” (the Small ship division is less than 500 guests), for seven consecutive years by the readers of Condè Nast Traveler magazine. For the fourth time, Silversea was selected the "Number One" small-ship line in Travel & Leisure World's Best Awards 2002.

Silversea is renowned for it’s 6-star, all-suite, all-oceanview luxury, and superb all-inclusive complimentary champagne, wines from around the world, spirits, and other amenities including gratuities.

Silversea Cruises is recognized as an innovator in the luxury segment, offering guests large-ship amenities aboard intimate vessels designed to offer an atmosphere of conviviality and casual elegance. The launch of all-suite luxury sister ships Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper continues Silverseas award-winning service excellence and sophistication with new features and amenities aboard vessels catering to just 382 guests.

Silversea ships are like intimate and exclusive resorts. When you retreat to your ocean-view suite, you'll revel in the space, privacy and fine appointments. Most suites have private teak verandas where you can watch the world go by. Nothing is overlooked. The atmosphere is relaxing & inviting, much like that of a fine private estate. The intimate Silver Shadow carries no more than 382 guests creating a convivial and relaxed ambiance. The Silversea Experience features the flexibility of Open Dining, where you have no pre-set time or table to sit at. You choose when, where & with whom to enjoy these exceptional dining experiences.

Private events, lectures, tastings, wine & food pairings, cooking demonstrations, and wine dinner. Added bonuses for American Express Platinum and Centurion Credit Card holders. Ask about other Silversea voyages, dates and savings programs available from Millennium.
