Silversea offers the widest range of destinations of any ultra-luxury line — from Mediterranean classics to Antarctica, the Galapagos, and the Kimberley. Silver Nova's asymmetrical design is a genuine leap forward, with the largest pool in the luxury segment and public spaces that feel like a floating art gallery. The S.A.L.T. culinary programme is brilliant, connecting food to place in a way no other line does. Butler service in every suite is standard, and the all-inclusive fare means you simply stop thinking about costs.
Silversea Cruises has defined ultra-luxury ocean travel since its founding by the Lefebvre family of Rome in 1994, and today operates the most diverse fleet in the luxury segment — eight ocean ships and four expedition vessels sailing to more destinations than any comparable line. The flagship Silver Nova, launched in 2023, introduced a revolutionary asymmetrical design that relocated the smokestack to port, opening up extraordinary public spaces, the largest pool in luxury cruising, and a horizontal layout that places all suites at the front of the vessel with restaurants, bars, and lounges flowing continuously through the midship and aft decks.
Every Silversea suite comes with butler service as standard, and the all-inclusive fare covers premium wines and spirits, multiple dining venues, gratuities, and Wi-Fi. The culinary programme is anchored by S.A.L.T. (Sea And Land Taste), a destination-inspired initiative that connects each voyage to the food culture of the regions visited through a dedicated restaurant, bar, kitchen, and lab. Menus rotate every three days, ensuring that longer voyages deliver genuine variety. Alongside S.A.L.T., guests choose from up to ten dining venues including La Terrazza for Italian cuisine, Kaiseki for Japanese, and The Grill for poolside indulgence.
Silversea’s expedition fleet — including Silver Cloud, Silver Wind, Silver Explorer, and the purpose-built Silver Origin in the Galapagos — brings the same butler service and fine dining to some of the planet’s most remote destinations. Antarctica, the Arctic, the Kimberley, and the Galapagos Islands are all served with the expertise of onboard expedition teams, Zodiac excursions, and enrichment programmes led by naturalists and scientists. Silver Origin, designed exclusively for the Galapagos, is widely regarded as the most elegant ship to sail those waters.
The fleet sails across every ocean, with itineraries spanning the Mediterranean, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, Northern Europe, and the polar regions. Silver Nova’s hybrid propulsion system achieves a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, signalling Silversea’s commitment to sustainability alongside luxury. For travellers who want ultra-luxury cruising with genuine global reach, culinary distinction, and the flexibility to move between ocean and expedition voyages within a single brand, Silversea remains the benchmark.
