Welcome Aboard. Since the earliest days of sail, there has been something special about travelling by ship. Its about fresh air and sunshine, breathtaking vistas and 360-degree views, new cultures and delightful discoveries. Its unhurried and relaxing and this is the magical experience of discovering the world and enjoying the special ambiance of an immaculately run ship.
Company Profile
Silversea is a cruise company reflecting generations of maritime and travel experience. In the early 1990s, the Lefebvre family of Rome, former owners of Sitmar Cruises, conceived and organized a unique cruise company pledging to build and operate the highest quality ships in the ultra-luxury segment. The name "Silversea" was chosen because it connotes quality and luxury as well as capturing the romance and special sensations of the sea. Silversea launched its first ship, Silver Cloud in 1994, followed by Silver Wind in 1995, Silver Shadow in 2000 and the newest ship Silver Whisper in 2001. The fleet was purpose-built for the ultra-luxury market, establishing a new class of smaller, intimate vessels that could slip into more exotic ports off the beaten path. These elite vessels were specifically designed for fewer guests, more space and the highest levels of personalized service, delivered by Italian officers and European staff. All-ocean view suites, most with private veranda, and open seating dining options so guests dine when, where and with whom they desire, add to the very special ambiance created onboard. But what is also unique is that they incorporate the favourite amenities found on larger ships, such as an elaborate show lounge featuring nightly entertainment, casino, spa and state-of-the-art fitness facility.
Luxury Experience
As an innovator in the ultra-luxury segment, Silversea quickly became the favourite among modern affluent travellers with its all-inclusive pricing, and unmatched onboard product enhanced by partnerships with the world's most respected luxury brands --Bvlgari, Davidoff and Relais & Chteaux. Today, Silversea is recognized as the defining elite luxury experience and is regularly lauded by leading consumer and trade publications. Since their inception in 1994, Silversea has dedicated itself to defining the elite luxury experience going above and beyond to achieve the distinction of being the worlds best. Thoroughly modern ships with every technical innovation; spacious ocean-view suites with sumptuous furnishings and appointments most with a private veranda; inspired cuisine and the finest wines and spirits poured with compliments. But it is more than these things that set Silversea apart; its an understanding of what it takes to make guests feel at home and welcome with a commitment always to go above and beyond and a passion to exceed your expectations.
Silversea guests can now take advantage of a newly-created feature called "My Voyage" at www.silversea.com to schedule appointments for spa and beauty treatments and to reserve shore excursions, 60 days in advance of their cruise.
For the fourth year running, in December 2007, Silversea Cruises was named ‘Best Cruise Line’ in Luxury Travel magazine’s prestigious Gold List awards. All four Silversea vessels were recognized in the top ten for the ‘Best Small Cruise Ship’ category, with the Silver Whisper and Silver Shadow ranked first and second place.
