Great to return to Alaska and the Shadow!

Our first cruise was in 2006, to Alaska, on the Silver Shadow. We decided, after having sailed on five of the ships on this line, to revisit both the Shadow and Alaska. We have just completed 196 days on Silversea, and will probably never sail on another cruise line. As usual, service is impeccable and we are always amazed at the service, the friendliness of staff (many of whom remember us ...

This is our second trip on Silverseas. I enjoy the intimacy of the small ship and first class service. This won't be our last cruise. During the cruise, I attended the cooking class on board and it was fantastic along with High Tea and the many evenings of entertainment. The entertainment was outstanding. The voices of these young people were highly skilled. The theater was filled ...

We never thought we would enjoy cruising, but Silversea proved us wrong. When we decided to cruise Alaska, we chose Silversea because of the smaller size of the ship and recommendations of others. Embarkation and disembarkation worked like a well oiled machine: smooth and fast, perhaps a function of the smaller number of passengers.The ship was impeccably clean, our suite was exactly as pictured, ...

Silver Shadow of Silver Sea made us sick

We chose this cruise for it's small size, luxury and staff ratio to passenger. It was nice, but older, worn furniture, drapes, etc. We had a butler who was awesome, the dining was lovely, service excellent, food was good(while we could still taste it). Shore excursions were ok, somewhat pricey. We didn't enjoy them much because we got sick day 2 of the cruise and haven't stopped coughing or ...

Friends who have sailed on Silversea before mentioned they were thinking of going to Alaska and since we have always wanted to go, we decided to join them. The ship is nice, the crew is excellent, the food is pretty good. The entertainment is more or less and the port are all tourist traps but what can you expect, nothing much to see there. All in all it was a good cruise. I would recommend it ...

We chose Silversea because of the luxury and comfort we had to live in, while seeing the grandeur and beauty of nature in Alaska. To be able to venture out on some daring excursions, i.e., zip-lining and rafting, and come back to the relaxing magnificence of the cruise ship was perfect. The tours such as the whale watch were amazing and we learned quite a bit about wildlife in Alaska. The service ...

We have over 120 days sailing on Silversea ships because we like the amazing food, fabulous service, terrific excursions, attention to requested details, the choice of wines & champagnes available at no extra charge & the delightful Verandah suites with Butler service, separate showers & tubs & over all luxuriousness that Silversea has to offer. However, this is our first cruise on the Silver ...

Small ship luxury

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We chose this cruise because we wanted a small ship that could get in to the smaller areas of Alaska as well as not wanting a ship that we would need to share with 1,000 plus vacationers. With the exception of the excursions, everything else was included. A personal butler, all meals (including room service), drinks (and the wine flowed freely at dinner), self-serve laundry, and entertainment. ...

This was the first time in Alaska for our family of 15, and our first small-ship cruise. And, long story short, it was excellent. Cabin We all had Veranda Suites, which were very spacious and had a great amount of storage space (which was very much appreciated). The bathroom was quite large as well, and the same goes for the living area. The beds were of a normal size for a cruise ship ...

The meals were extraordinary, the service was incredible, and the cruise was absolutely beautiful. We would absolutely go on another Silver Seas cruise. In fact, I don't think we will ever travel on another cruiseline because are expectations are just too high to ever be surpassed by another cruiseline. Our suite was very spacious and well appointed. Our butler and maids were very friendly, ...
