Silver Spirit in Port Mahon, Menorca, Spain

ABOVE: Silver Spirit pays a visit to Port Mahon, Menorca.

Silversea Cruises is a luxury line with a dozen ships that range from mainstream cruise vessels to expedition ships. All of Silversea's ships are intimate by today's standards, with the largest (Silver Nova) carrying only 728 passengers.

From spring through fall, at least three of Silversea's ships cruise in Northern and Southern Europe during a typical year, with visits to ports that range from the familiar (Amsterdam, Barcelona) to the offbeat (Aalborg, Mahon, Napflion, and St Malo). Fares include wines and other drinks, Wi-Fi is free, and tipping is neither expected nor encouraged.

Silversea Cruises 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 three times. For in-depth coverage of our voyages aboard Silver Whisper and Silver Spirit, see the review links below.
