FAQ's

In fact, no. If you've already cruised, you'll already know that traditional cruise lines charge extra for most things....fine dining, gratuities, drinks, excursions. You only get some of those included if you take the best suites aboard. With Silversea however, all that is included so what you see is the end price, and very often it's the same or less than if you paid separately.

While there isn't an official statistic for the average age on Silversea cruises, most passengers are 55 years old and over, depending on the specific sailing. Silversea caters to a luxury experience, which tends to attract travellers with more disposable income, often retirees or those approaching retirement. However, shorter cruises and the expedition cruises may attract a slightly younger crowd. It's important to remember that these are generalities. Silversea does attract a wider range of ages, including younger professionals and even multi-generational families on occasion

Silversea has an international clientele, with approximately 75% being English-speaking (half from the US) and the remaining 25% from various other countries
