| Cabo San Lucas | Friday, May 31, 2024 | Friday, May 31, 2024 |
| Once sought after by pirates for its safe harbors, the Los Cabos region of the Southern Baja Peninsula is now home to bustling towns of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. Each offers travelers an exciting, fun-filled destination. Cabo San Lucas, with a population of 25,000, is the faster-growing of the two. In the past few years, swanky new hotels and sleek condos have been added to round out this vacation destination. Superb sportfishing put Cabo San Lucas on the map, but non-fishermen will enjoy the thriving beach community as well. Snorkeling gear, boats, waverunners, kayaks, paddleboats and windsurf boards are all available for the active vacationer. | ||

| Puntarenas | Wednesday, Jun 05, 2024 | Wednesday, Jun 05, 2024 |
| The Central Pacific's largest city, Puntarenas sits on a long, narrow peninsula in the Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Rica. For years, it was the country's principal port, and though Puntarenas handles big cruise ships, a large fishing fleet still anchors in the estuary behind town. Being the country's most important fishing port, Puntarenas is the perfect place to enjoy fresh seafood. Though the water is murky, and the beach may seem a bit urban, it's a lively town on weekends, when people from San José fill its waterfront restaurants and bars. A series of open-air cafes that line the beach are the perfect place to head for dessert, or refreshments, since they specialize in ice cream and fresh fruit drinks. | ||

| Panama Canal | Friday, Jun 07, 2024 | Friday, Jun 07, 2024 |
| Linking the Atlantic to the Pacific, the Panama Canal provides one of cruising's most unforgettable experiences. Over 10 years were needed to complete the canal's 51 miles in 1914 - so avoiding the lengthy and often dangerous voyage around Cape Horn. 'The Big Ditch' lifts vessels by a fascinating feat of mechanics aided by on-shore 'mule' locomotives through three great locks, traversing man-made lakes, channels blasted through rock, and the dense jungle. Two other special highlights of the canal are Gatun Lake and the Gaillard cut. Gatun Lake is one of the world's largest man-made lakes covering 163 square miles. Gaillard Cut is an 8 mile channel built through solid rock which was the most difficult excavation in the canal construction. | ||
| Cartagena (Colombia) | Saturday, Jun 08, 2024 | Saturday, Jun 08, 2024 |
| Cartagena is full of history and charm. At La Popa Monastery, you will have a panoramic view of the city and harbor. Enjoy the artisan center of Las Bovedas (The Dungeons), Plaza Bolivar, the Palace of Inquisition and the Church of San Pedro Claver, and shop for Colombian emeralds - the finest in the world. | ||

In consideration of evolving consumer trends, and to further promote a safe, comfortable and enjoyable environment for all Silversea guests, staff and crew, the smoking policy was updated on January 1, 2013.
Smoking is NOT allowed in:
- Guest suites and guest suite verandas
- All Public Areas, Lounges and Bars
Smoking (including Cigars, Pipes and Cigarettes) is allowed in:
- The Connoisseur's Corner.
- In addition, tables and seating have been made exclusively available outside the Panorama Lounge, the Pool Bar, and specified areas of open decks.
- Tables and seating have been made available outside La Terrazza for cigarette smoking exclusively.
Each Silversea ship is equipped with a Medical Centre, which is customarily staffed by a doctor and nurse on 24-hour call when at sea. When docked, supplementary emergency care may also be obtained through local medical facilities.
At the time of booking, expectant mothers are required to supply a medical certificate establishing their fitness for travel at the time they are due to travel. Silversea is unable to accommodate women who have entered their twenty-fourth (24th) week of pregnancy during their voyage, and will not be responsible or liable for any complication relative to any pregnancy during the entire duration of the cruise or thereafter. Additionally, airlines may have restrictions that may differ from Silversea’s. Please contact your travel professional or airline.
Guests who rely upon wheelchairs must bring their own. Please note that not all shore excursions are suitable for guests with impaired mobility.
All guests are required to report in writing to Silversea at the time their reservation is made:
- Any physical or mental condition that may require medical or professional treatment or attention during the voyage
- Any condition that may render the guest unfit for travel, or that may require special care or assistance
- Any condition that may pose a risk or danger to the guest or anyone else onboard the ship
- Any condition that may require oxygen for medical reasons
- Any intention or need to use a wheelchair aboard ship.
By booking passage and by boarding the ship, the guest represents and warrants that they are physically and otherwise fit to travel, and that the guest will comply at all times with applicable rules and regulations of the ship and orders and instructions of the ship's officers and medical staff. Silversea reserves the right, without liability, to require a guest to disembark and/or to refuse to board and transport a guest who, in the judgment of Silversea or the ship's Master, is unfit to travel or may require care beyond that which Silversea is reasonably able to provide. Those guests requiring wheel-on and/or wheel-off access must contact Silversea prior to making a booking. Silversea reserves the right to deny boarding to any guest who failed to notify Silversea of such requirement at the time of booking.
Silversea ships are equipped to offer wireless (Wi-Fi) Internet access. Guests can use their own laptop to surf the Internet and check emails at Wi-Fi locations throughout the ship, or from the comfort and privacy of their suite. Computers, email and Internet access are also available on board at the Internet Café. However, it is important to understand that telecommunication services while at sea are via satellite and significantly different than high-speed connections on land back home. The signal travels in a similar manner to radio waves but at much greater distances. Therefore, onboard Internet access is not guaranteed at all times. Satellite communications are also affected by weather and the ship's location.
Internet Service Fees
The same rates apply, whether accessing the Internet via personal laptop or via the Internet Café computers. All charges are posted directly to guests' onboard account. No credit is given for unused Time Plan minutes. Rates shown are in US dollars and are subject to change.
- Basic Rate: $0.50 per minute (pay as you go)
- Time Plan 1: 100 minutes for $45 ($0.45 per minute)
- Time Plan 2: 250 minutes for $85 ($0.34 per minute)

Each Silversea ship is equipped with a Medical Centre, which is customarily staffed by a doctor and nurse on 24-hour call when at sea. The Medical Centre is not intended or designed to provide on-going treatment of pre-existing conditions or for extended critical care, and Silversea is not responsible for the diagnosis, treatment or services furnished by shipboard medical personnel. Guests may be charged for medical services and for medications used for their medical treatment.

Review: Our experience was a pure delight! The suite size with a walk-in closet has spoiled us forever. Each meal was amazing as if we were dining at our favorite 5 star restaurants. We really appreciated the overall friendly, knowledgeable and attentive staff and crew. SilverSea really knows how to do "All-Inclusive" with class and expertise.

Review:
Silversea Shadow will be dry docked in Nov 2019 , so it is no surprise that it is in need of some sprucing up. Silversea met the challenge of providing a great cruise experience. The cabins are well-appointed, with walk-in closets, bathtubs and separate showers. Lounge area with desk, couch and coffee table were spacious. I loved multiple choices of toiletries. Wifi worked well and was included in our package. The intimate size of the ship and guest/ staff ration made it feel like a country club at sea. Where Silversea really excelled is in first-class service. Our buttler anticipated our every need. Staff at the pool and other main areas were attentive with beverages. The remodeling of the La Dame restaurant, Connoisseur's Corner and the casino will be well received. Dining was like being in a five-star restaurant with a nice lounge/ bar for a pre-dinner drink. When in port it was a seamless experience getting on and off the ship. The access to bottled water and beach towels when boarding and exiting the ship was a nice touch. Nightlife and activities could be more varied and plentiful. The DJ/Disco area was busy with the same small crowd each night, so, apparently, that was not something that would need expansion. Staff were attentive, however, sometimes apparently harried and inexperienced. When dining in the main dining room the staff did not seem knowledgeable of the menu and had difficulty using the ipad when completing orders. The constant asking for cabin numbers was annoying. Even restaurants that were serving buffet style needed the information prior to seating you. I found the scheduled times for lunch limiting, and the pool should have service throughout the day. We were told we could order in our rooms or Butler could provide service on deck. With the new Arts Café, I trust this will not the case anymore. Shopping was very limited and the casino was deserted, however, it sounds like that will be addressed with the refurbishing. Excited to see the new Open-plan atrium. Spa and fitness activities while somewhat limited and small but were adequate. Outdoor dining was a true treat however in need of some more outdoor heaters. The outdoor jogging/walking path could be improved with a better location. The day at sea it was very clogged with people trying to place chairs in the path. The overall journey was a fabulous experience and I highly recommended it.
Staff, weather was perfect for us, food was delicious, excursions were memorable.
Pros: Staff, weather was perfect for us, food was delicious, excursions were memorable.

Review: The staff is exceptional and very attentive. There are many activities onboard as well like trivia, the casino, cooking lessons, movie screening, and auctions. The wide variety of food makes it hard to choose what to eat because it all tastes so delicious.

Solo travelers get together each evening, excellent help from crew.
Pros: Solo travelers get together each evening, excellent help from crew.
Cons: Entertainers were not good. Sadly, after the first show, we quit going.
Review: I would definitely take another Silversea cruise in the future. Ports were exotic and shore excursions were mostly well run and excellent choices. Pouring rain while riding the elephant in Koh Samui was an adventure of a lifetime.
Size is perfect. Service was personal. The dining portions are petite. This kept passengers mindful of proper portion sizes. You certainly can order seconds thirds , etc. SIlver Shadow is one cruise experience I enjoyed without gaining an ounce. LOVED THIS FEATURE. Some complained about it, I thought it to be Brilliant. By the 3rd day all staff knew names. No crowded deck chairs, no crowded anything.

Cons: The ship is getting a little Art Deco dated but it is maintained well. Onboard activities included classes on tanzanite, art sales, shoe insoles, well a little more sell sell sell than a luxury line should offer. I was expecting the boutique to roll out gold chains by the foot at any moment. Excursions are a bit pricey.

Review: Overall our experience on the Silver Shadow was far above previous large ship cruises. Excellent customer service, general food quality, the all inclusive nature of the package and the low passenger count made our voyage a relaxing and memorable one. For example, when one of the bartenders (Alphonso) found out they did not have our favorite after dinner liquor the first night of the cruise, he went out during the first stop and bought it for us. Now that is great customer service! Embarking and disembarking were quick and easy. The ship was pristine, although some areas were in need of repair, for example the rail on our veranda needed to be refinished. Although we did not use the butler service too much, it was nice having it available if needed. A nice touch was the cleaning/disinfecting of our suitcases the night before disembarking.
Great ship. Well maintained with super service crew in every Department
Pros: Great ship. Well maintained with super service crew in every Department
Cons: Food was generally good but dinners in main dining room were sometimes mediocre
Review: Great ship with middle of the road dinners. Tours in Peru and Eciuador did the best of what was available but the ports were mostly desert ports and run down.
Great staff. Food and wine very good.
Pros: Great staff. Food and wine very good.
Cons: Very little fresh fish!
Review: Everything was great including the WEATHER! Only one rain day and it was slight rain.
The Food (very Italian); the Service (100% accomodating); the Entertainment (the BEST); and the Ship itself (small enough to really enjoy everything and everyone, but large enough to ride smoothly through the storms)!
Pros: The Food (very Italian); the Service (100% accomodating); the Entertainment (the BEST); and the Ship itself (small enough to really enjoy everything and everyone, but large enough to ride smoothly through the storms)!
