Silversea

Silversea is an ultra-luxury cruise line, part of Royal Caribbean Group, operating small ships with all-suite accommodation and butler service in every suite. Fares are broadly all-inclusive, typically covering drinks, gratuities, Wi-Fi and most dining, with fare options in some markets that add flights and transfers. Expedition cruising is a major strength, with ice-class ships sailing to Antarctica, the Arctic and remote coastlines, and the Galapagos served by dedicated vessels. Classic voyages visit the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Asia and other regions, including smaller ports bigger ships cannot reach. The intimate scale suits travellers who want space, personalised service and destination depth rather than onboard attractions. Prices sit at the top end of the market, and inclusions differ between fare types, so buyers should compare what each fare covers, especially for flights and excursions.
