Silver service cruises by Silversea

Since the earliest days of sail, there has been something alluring and special about travelling by sea. In the spirit of its Italian heritage, Silversea is the acknowledged leader in stylish cruising and an innovator in the stratosphere of small ship, luxury cruising. Its store of repeat passengers is testament to sustained achievement, no easy task given the competitive nature of the cruise industry. Silversea Cruises has earned an enviable reputation for pampering indulgences, with one of the highest passenger – space ratios at sea. The fleet is purpose built for elegant country house ambience, stimulating journeys, convivial dining and casual elegance. Like-minded fellow travellers are an added bonus.

Smaller scale, however, does not mean that luxuries are compromised or sacrificed. Inspired cuisine and an extensive selection of fine wines and spirits are all part of Silversea’s unrivalled philosophy. Pampered guests are treated to dining tables set with Christofle silver and Schott-Zwiesel crystal. The cuisine is simply sublime, perfectly-portioned for waist-saving and champagne flows like water.

The all-inclusive pricing includes all beverages and dining. Silversea’s cuisine is the result of a clever culinary partnership with the world-class chefs of Relais & Châteaux the prestigious association of exquisite boutique hotels and restaurants. Wines chosen by Relais & Chateaux sommeliers reflect regions of the world noted for their rich wine heritage. Menus include hot-and-cold appetizers, at least four entrée selections, a vegetarian alternative, and Cruiselite cuisine, low in cholesterol, sodium, and fat.

An abundance of intimate dining venues is the norm on each Silversea vessel as well as the familiar Pool Grill. La Terrazza is one of the signature restaurants whose menus focus on one of the most sensible and sensuous food trends, the “slow food” movement. The philosophy aims to preserve the gastronomic traditions of Italy through the use of fresh, traditional foods. Seating is limited and sought after, so reservations, even at the time of making your cruise reservation, are a must to ensure a table.

Silversea Cruises offers a wide range of themed cruises, as well as their program which lets you choose your port of embarkation and disembarkation, and the length of cruise from 5 days or more. The world’s most desirable, exotic and off the beaten track ports are served up with epicurean panache.

Elisabeth Grieder often muses that Silversea means travellingto a place where life is not just better – it’s bellissima!
