About SilverSea Cruises

Silversea Cruises - Breathtaking in every respect. Excellence in every detail. A world of easygoing elegance without an ounce of pretension.

Perhaps that is why Silversea has received the very highest awards from authoritative guidebooks and publications: 'Number One' four consecutive years in Conde Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards; 'World's Best Small Ship Cruise Line' for three years in Travel & Leisure's World's Best Awards; and a coveted 'Six Stars' from Fielding's Guide to Worldwide Cruises for three years in a row.

The "six-star" cruise lines represent the ultra-deluxe segment of the cruise business, and most are primarily small ship operators. They offer a noticeably more elevated level of service than the regular five- star cruises but also tend to be the most expensive cruises. They are definitely not mass market. Exceptional service, elegant and refined ambiance, extra attention to passenger comfort and satisfaction, larger food budgets, a very high level of ship's maintenance, and more inclusive pricing are some of the hallmarks of the six-star cruise lines.

Aboard Silversea Cruises, the most beautiful yacht-like ships ever launched, you will discover a journey beyond your expectations. Luxury is found in every detail. Cut crystal, Crisp Frette linens. Personalized stationery. Bvlgari soap, shampoo and lotion. And yes, the signature teak verandas
But please - a six-star cruise is not for the traveler addicted to the activity level of 3 star ships.
