ABOVE: The Silver Whisper at sea. INSET: A Champagne welcome, a Silver Suite, the HSH Prince Albert II, and a ship's tender in Katakalon, Greece.

photoSilversea Cruises is a small-ship luxury line with four vessels: The 382-passenger Silver Whisper and Silver Shadow, and the 296-passenger Silver Cloud and Silver Wind. From spring through fall, at least three of the ships are generally cruising in Northern and Southern Europe, with visits to ports that range from the familiar (Amsterdam, Barcelona) to the offbeat (Aalborg, Mahon, Napflion, and St Malo). Every cruise is different, and passengers can put together their own itineraries via a "personalized voyage" option. Fares include wines and other drinks, and tipping is neither expected nor encouraged.

HSH Prince Albert IIIn mid-2008, Silversea will introduce a fifth ship, the expedition vessel HSH Prince Albert II. The ship, acquired as the World Explorer II and overhauled by Silversea, is intended to bring a new level of luxury to adventure cruising in the Arctic, the Antarctic, and other out-of-the-way regions.

photoAlthough Silversea is based in Florida, its owners are Italian, and it attracts many passengers from Europe and other parts of the world. The line consistently ranks high in Condé Nast Travel and Travel + Leisure reader polls, making it an appealing choice for well-heeled cruisers with a taste for luxurious accommodations, fine food, and attentive service from a warm, friendly, and professional staff.

We've cruised with Silversea twice. For in-depth coverage of our two voyages aboard the Silver Whisper, see the review links below.
