Silversea Cruises | Ultra-Luxury

Silversea Luxury Cruises

Recognised as the World's Best by the readers of Condé Nast Traveller and Travel & Leisure, Silversea offers guests large-ship amenities aboard specially designed, intimate vessels. Their distinctive European style reflects the line's true Italian heritage and this is evident in every detail, from the sublime all-suite accommodation and uncompromising service levels, to the exquisite gourmet dining and a carefree all-inclusive philosophy.

Intimate ships

Silversea launched its first ship Silver Cloud in 1994, followed by Silver Wind in 1995, Silver Shadow in 2000, Silver Whisper in 2001 and Silver Spirit in 2009. The fleet was purpose-built for the ultra-luxury market, establishing a new class of smaller, intimate vessels that could slip into more exotic ports. These elite vessels were specifically designed for fewer guests, more space and the highest levels of personalised service, whilst incorporating the most popular amenities found on larger ships, such as an elaborate show lounges, casinos, spas and state-of-the-art fitness facilities.

In addition to its five luxurious ships, Silversea added an expedition vessel to its fleet in 2008, named Silver Explorer. This incredible vessel journeys to some of the world’s most far-flung and remote destinations, while still maintaining high levels of luxury and service unrivalled on any other expedition cruise. She was joined in 2013 by Silver Galapagos and in 2014 by Silver Discoverer, which offer explorational sailings to the Galapagos Islands and the South Pacific respectively.
