First all-inclusive luxury line
Why we love Silversea
Silversea launched in 1994 as the world's first all-inclusive luxury cruise line, and it still sets the pace. Every accommodation is a suite, most with a veranda, and every suite comes with a butler.
Its small ocean ships reach ports larger vessels can't, while a true ice-class expedition fleet takes guests to Antarctica, the Arctic and the Galápagos with Zodiac landings and expert teams.
Since September 2025 there are three fares, and life on board is identical on all of them. All-Inclusive Plus adds a shore excursion credit on ocean voyages, a refundable deposit and price protection, and on a long Mediterranean voyage the credit can be worth thousands per suite. All-Inclusive has a non-refundable deposit, and Last-Minute is for sailings within five months. Flights, hotels and transfers are extra on every fare.
Expedition is where Silversea stands apart. On expedition voyages, Zodiac landings, lectures, expedition gear and required charter flights and hotel nights are included on any fare. The Antarctica Bridge fly-cruise skips the Drake Passage with a two-hour flight from Chile, and Silver Origin sails the Galápagos year-round with Ecuadorian naturalists.
Food is a highlight too, led by S.A.L.T., its destination-inspired culinary program, with menus rebuilt for every region the ship sails through.

You will generally pay the same fare as booking direct, because cruise fares are set by Silversea. As a Virtuoso agency, we can often add extra amenities such as onboard credit on selected sailings, and we handle flights, hotels and transfers around your cruise.
Popular Silversea regions include World Cruise, Antarctica & the Arctic, Galápagos, The Kimberley, Mediterranean, Caribbean and Asia & beyond. Tell us when you would like to travel and we will suggest the best itineraries for that time of year.
For the best choice of suites and itineraries, we recommend booking 12 to 18 months ahead, particularly for peak seasons and popular itineraries. Last-minute availability does come up, so it is always worth asking.
