Beautiful small ship, traditional decor which we love. Well maintained and looked after. Very comfortable. Service is great, friendly and on hand whenever you need anything. Embarking and disembarking were well done and speedy. Love the included excursions, although most seem to be walking tours but we found a few that take you to places and let you explore fully on your own which we appreciated. Entertainment is mixed. Love the bands in the bars but could be a little more upbeat at times. Loved the Chocolate night on the pool deck which got a good response and we danced the night away - great new addition. We did’t go to any shows this time as we found them a little lack lustre on our last trip but we weren’t expecting west end style shows anyway. They seemed to be well attended though just not really our taste. Food is fabulous, we never had a bad meal and the venues and menu are varied and suit pretty much all tastes. Loved it! You can eat all day long (and we feel that we did). Great selection of wines, spirits and beers included, most that we would consider top-shelf for other lines were included and very little would be classed as extra cost in our opinion, depending on your taste I guess. Been home a few days and missing it already!

We simply loved the small scale of the ship as it was so friendly, but that was also down to the excellent efforts made by Silversea in general and their crew in particular. We found nothing to grumble about but a great deal to praise. The food was superb, and for the first time on a cruise we really enjoyed the entertainment. We'd love to travel with them again.

We are seasoned cruisers, this is our first time with Silversea and our first voyage on a much smaller luxury ship.
The ship, service, crew and staff exceeded our expectations on all levels. Attention to detail was exceptional. Our butler and cabin attendant went above and beyond their duties.
The food and dining experience in all venues was excellent.
Without a doubt, we will be booking another cruise with Silversea.

Overall an excellent cruise. All of the staff were friendly and you got the feel of a happy ship.
The food was amazing in all of the included restaurants.
We took the included excursions all of which involved a some walking, I think Silverseas needs to review their moderate/ extensive activity classification. One classed as extensive was fine (according to my Fitbit about 7000 steps) and a moderate had us whacked (over 10k!).
Although it was only a 7 day cruise we would have appreciated a sea day so we could enjoy the ship to the full.

Located on a small island at the end of La Caleta beach, this remarkable historical site was once home to a Temple of Kronos – a Titan among the Greek gods, and father of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera. The castle we see today was built circa 1706 in order to provide the northern flank of the city with defence, and the levee linking the island to the city was constructed in 1860. This castle was also the site of Spain’s second electric-powered lighthouse, which was added to the structures on this island in 1908.
Plaza de España
An impressive plaza in Parque de Maria Luisa in Seville, Plaza de España is a remarkable landmark example of Regionalism architecture – blending the Baroque Revival, Renaissance Revival, and Moorish Revival styles together. Completed in 1928, this stunning area was featured in exterior shots of the City of Theed on Naboo in Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones and scenes from Lawrence of Arabia, among other film and TV productions – something that only exemplifies its incredible beauty.
Royal Alcázar of Seville
A historic royal palace in the heart of Seville, which was once an Islamic-era citadel in the 10th century before eventually being expanded upon and rebuilt throughout the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries, the Royal Alcázar of Seville is an impressive example of Mudejar-style architecture but draws on Gothic and Renaissance elements, giving it a unique character among other palaces in the region. When the royal family are visiting Seville, they still occupy the upper stories of the alcázar to this day – though, you can also explore this area when they’re not in town. A stunning palace with an impressive collection of elegant interiors, interesting artworks, and gardens, this is a fantastic place to visit when you’re in Seville.
