Silversea Cruises
Silversea is an ultra-luxury and expedition cruise line known for its all-inclusive lifestyle, intimate ships, elegant European style and destination-rich voyages. Now part of Royal Caribbean Group, Silversea combines a global luxury cruise portfolio with the scale and support of one of the world’s leading cruise groups.
Silversea’s fleet comprises 12 small luxury ships: eight classic vessels and four expedition ships. Designed for comfort, space and personal service, the fleet ranges from the 100-guest Silver Origin, purpose-built for the Galápagos, to 728-guest Nova Class ships Silver Nova and Silver Ray. Across the fleet, guests enjoy ocean-view suites, butler service and a high staff-to-guest ratio.
The line sails to more than 900 destinations across all seven continents, reaching iconic cities, remote regions, polar landscapes and smaller ports that larger ships may not be able to access. Its programme includes classic ocean voyages, expedition cruises, Grand Voyages and World Cruises, with itineraries designed for deeper discovery and more time in destination.
Recent fleet highlights include Silver Dawn, Silver Endeavour, Silver Nova and Silver Ray. Silver Dawn introduced the Otium wellness concept, while Silver Nova and Silver Ray brought Silversea’s latest Nova Class design to the fleet, with spacious suites, open decks, panoramic public areas and improved energy-efficiency features. Silver Endeavour strengthened Silversea’s expedition offering with a ship designed for remote destinations, including both polar regions.
On board, Silversea’s all-inclusive experience includes butler service in every suite category, a choice of restaurants, 24-hour in-suite dining, premium beverages, Wi-Fi and immersive destination experiences. The S.A.L.T. — Sea and Land Taste — culinary programme uses food and drink to connect guests more closely with the cultures and regions they visit, while Otium brings a refined Roman-inspired approach to wellness and relaxation.
With its Italian heritage, sophisticated ambience and focus on immersive travel, Silversea appeals to worldly travellers seeking understated luxury, exceptional service and access to remarkable places by sea.
