Silversea's fleet offers an incredible level of excellence that easily equals that of a fine hotel, though one ship is a little different. ilversea cruise ships are smaller, more intimate offerings. The largest ship in the fleet is the 36,000 tonne, 540 passenger Silver Spirit, with the Silver Explorer the smallest. The Silver Cloud and Silver Wind only carry 29 passengers, while the Silver Whisper and Silver Shadow only carry 388 passengers.

The Silver Explorer finely balances the cuisine, wine and service of a 6* luxury cruise line, with the undiscovered destinations of an explorer ship. The 6,072 tonne ship only carries 132 passengers and visits ice-covered gems, rainforests and forgotten cultures. Think champagne service and incredible expeditions, all in one wonderful cruise.

The smaller ships mean that Silversea cruises can access smaller, more boutique and unique ports, such as Portofino on the Italian coast. The smaller, all suite, ships also mean that there is a more intimate feel in both the luxury spaces onboard and the service — with the passenger to crew ratio almost 1:1. With a highly personalised onboard experience, unbeatable standards and attentive crew, Silversea offer the ultimate in luxury cruising.

Most Silversea cruises are fly and cruise holidays from the UK, to destinations around the world, including fabulous itineraries to the Africa, South America, Alaska and even grand transatlantic cruises.
