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.

Very tidy, but in need of a revamp as much of it us quite old-fashioned compared to more modern shi ps. It needs colour. The restaurants are very nice and the cooking is good quality but bland and sugary. Not the best for European tastes. The multi Asian restaurant is being taken out which will really reduce choice. I have rebooked for next year but I hope it will have had a refurbishment before my next booking
Staff and entertainers are both very good.
