Silversea Expeditions Cruise Reviews

My recent cruise to Antarctica Feb 2024 with Silvercloud left a lot to be desired, firstly I chose Silversea because I wanted a safer bigger cruise that had more experience with Antarctica instead of their smaller newer competitors and also how they pride themselves of having 5 dining outlets. (Both to be very wrong of me, seasoned expedition guides basically switch from different companies all ...

Booked this 15 day Antarctic Bridge cruise. Chose to go in style and booked the Grand Suite - not cheap. Had problems from the start of the cruise - took us two extra days due to apparent weather to get to Antartica so we missed 2 days on the ship. one couple was on their third attempt to do this cruise - cancelled 2x before. After we disembarked the ship was also delayed for 1 day before ...

We choose this cruise to save time and experience more of Antarctica. Instead, we were delayed not but weather but by another expedition team waiting to go. Quark expedition was delayed by weather and took our spot leaving Puerto Arenas on the day we were to leave. We were suppose to arrive at our ship Sunday but instead got there Tuesday. Silversea then decided to deviate from our route by not ...

Silver Cloud has an amazing crew in all departments. Our cabin was well-appointed and comfortable, the restaurants were very good, front desk very helpful. The Expedition team were superb, and great fun too. An expedition cruise has a different vibe to a trip cruise. It is full of anticipation and excitement and every day can change from the immediate itinerary owing to weather, wildlife and other ...

This was our first cruise on Silversea. We were on the Silver Wind for18 nights (roundtrip from Puerto Williams) to Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island and the Antarctic Peninsula. What We Really Liked * Butler service was outstanding * The Restaurant Dining Room waiters were excellent (most, but not all) * The activities host did an outstanding job with trivia, name that tune, ...

This cruise departed out of San Diego which made it really nice for us. We up graded to a suite and it was excellent. The itinerary was not very exciting but we were looking for a laid back cruise. This was our third expedition cruise with Silver Sea and they lived up to their high standards. The ship itself was very nice and the staff was outstanding. Our butler did a great job and went above and ...

This was essentially a reposition cruise, Artic to Antarctic, but was not advertised as such. Ship is old and very much showing her age, significant water leak into observation lounge during rain storms, several cabins flooded due to air conditioning leaks, many areas of ship were quite warm on hot days. Too many stops, for too little time at each stop, focus was on quantity not quality. At ...

In 2012 we went to Antartica for 18 days on the Explorer with SilverSeas. It was a dream trip with perfect weather and a stellar focus on safety. My husband is a geologist so the Arctic was his dream trip. On this trip the weather was not in our favour and the Arctic is a different beast which we know as Canadians. In South Georgia and the Antartic you cn get very close to the Penguins and other ...

Cruised from Iceland to the southern part of Greenland, and then around the southern coast of Greenland. Crew provided outstanding service both with the stateroom and the dining room. Expedition staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. I've been on this ship twice, and was very pleased on both trips. Captain is very efficient and careful. Food was excellent, and you don't experience the ...

Silver Wind sailing Iceland to Vancouver August 11th--October 2nd, 2023 We had booked a cabin with a balcony on the starboard side of deck 7 and paid $49,700 USD for this 52 day cruise not including any air travel. This was for the cruise only...... We boarded the ship at 3pm and began our sailing from Reykjavik Iceland as scheduled at 7pm. We sailed 3 miles or so, dropped anchor ...
