On a once-in-a-lifetime voyage, follow the spirit of the sea and the call of the journey.
We had a great cruise and the most important success factor is Silversea´s staff. They were so positive, attentive, caring and helpful. Thus the atmosphere on board is very relaxed and warm. You feel so pampered being on board, it is a real "mood lift". A lot of smiles and laughter! We found the ship classic elegant and very comfortable. The suite was excellent. The itinerary was interesting and the excursions good. We were also happy about the entertainment on board. There is however one elephant in the room: The food. For us this is #1. Two restaurants deliver on all elements and we enjoyed our meals here: Seishin and la Dame. We would also mention "the gem" on board: Arts Café. We tried all the other restaurants, but we had no memorable food experiences in any of them. No "wow"-factor. The main problem is execution, especially concerning texture of the food. Most vegetables were overcooked. One example: The texture of potato mash found in a number of dishes. Our hypothesis is that too much of the food is pre-prepared and heated too long. The food in these restaurants reminded us about the food you got in most main restaurants on all cruise ships 15 years ago. The S.A.L.T. restaurant is an interesting idea and concept, but seems too pretentious and complex to implement. To us it seemed as though there is a general lack of clear spesifications of the specific dishes and a control before they reach the passengers. We also have to add that complimentary wines in general should have a higher level; it won´t cost Silversea much. Most sommeliers did not know how to serve wine correctly. They should also wait asking guests about wine until the guests have decided upon their food. Neither should the conversation about wine be "red or white wine?" but rather "do you have any preferances about wine?" also for your complimentary wine. So - given our feedback on the food, how could we be so happy about the cruise? We decided not to get frustrated about the food, but enjoy all the other superb elements on board. Would we cruise with Silversea again? Yes, if food is improved. In our opinion Silversea only has ONE area of improvement, but it is a very important one! We hope to be on board again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time aboard the Silversea Silver Spirit. The ship has been recently refurbished and was beautiful. The service was exceptional. Our butler, Krushak, and our cabin attendant, Sei could not do enough for us. Both were truly first class and amazing often anticipating our needs before we did. We were in a deluxe veranda cabin and it was lovely. Spotless and spacious with everything we could want. The bartenders in La Dolce Vita, Agneshka and Avronne were fantastic and it only took a short time before our drinks were waiting for us upon arrival at the bar. Randy, Alan, Fay and Alex in La Terraza were kind, professional and always provided the utmost in high level service and always with a smile. All these people make their jobs look effortless although they are anything but. We have traveled on Silversea a few times in the past as well as Seabourn and Sea Goddesses and were very happy to see they are still as good as we remembered. Congrats to Silversea and their entire staff for making our 45th wedding anniversary so special. Can't wait to return.
We were one of the last folks to book a Door-to-Door package. It bears weight to bring this up. Arrival: At Heathrow, there was no transport to get us to the hotel. The discussion with SS reps was at best contentious, and they wanted to prove we were required to get a transport. It took more than an hour to get this completed. The hotel (Marriott Town) was centrally located, great lodging and enjoyable. The trip to the ship the next morning went well, we were onboard in no time. The sailing was for the 27th; we went to some effort to point out that this was our anniversary. The butler was aware, and apparently Atlantide was aware. There was no cake, nothing. The Cabin: located portside, and on this trip is was perfect for us. Maybe 20 steps or so to Dolce Vita, the ship used Deck 5 at every stop for gangway, and the restaurants were 1 floor down and two up. The room was spacious, well appointed, cold (as we like it) with nice appointments. I particularly liked the bathrobe. Food: Surprisingly uneven. At La Dame, the lamb chops were overcooked; in La Terraza they were almost criminal is cooking an 8 oz ribeye to black and about 4.5 ounces when ordered medium. How that got out of the kitchen is beyond me. Atlantide's food was overall good, better (much) than Oceania's GDR. But it was presented to us as a replacement for Polo at O. It was anything but. Again, nothing terrible. We did dine at Silver Note (good, almost really good) and Riveria (feh). Service. I suppose if we dined in the same place at the same time things might have been different. Few remembered our names. No one in any dining room ever remembered that we like ice, although we asked for it every time. Cocktail orders in the dining room were blundered, or forgotten completely. They tried; people asked over and over again if we wanted more wine. But little things that foodies know - serve from the left, remove from the right; women first, men second; fold the ladie's napkin when she leaves for the bathroom. At this price point, they are things I would have expected. Butler service: We had an exceptional butler in Sachin and his assistant Dandy. Despite the mishap with our anniversary (and I should point out that Silversea went out of their way to apologize and make good on that error. I mean, really, REALLY went out of their way), Sachin took pains to make sure my wife always had a bowl of blueberries, served us several meals in the room, and took care of us. Itinerary: Exceptional. Tours were phenomenal, and really made the trip memorable. Bordeaux, Santander, Porto, Bilboa. We unfortunately couldn't tender at Saint Malo. Entertainment: Small ships like this get no respect, but I felt it was great entertainment, including several local entertainers from France or Spain. A highlight actually.
The world feels larger when you sail on ships this intimate.

Spanning four distinct classes, it’s the youngest and most innovative fleet in the industry.
