Falmouth is a resort and port in south-western England. The harbor is popular with pleasure craft and Falmouth has several boat-building yards and a major ship repair yard. The Pendennis and St Mawes castles face each other across the Roads. They were built by Henry VIII in the 16th century to guard the entrance to the Roads; the protection they offered played an important part in Falmouth's development as a port. Falmouth was one of the most important ports in Great Britain after 1698, when packet ships, fast, heavily armed sloops, sped across the oceans from Falmouth carrying post, royal messages, and bullion to all parts of the world. The packet service brought great prosperity to Falmouth, and the town's fortunes declined when it was transferred to Southampton. However, after the construction of the railway in 1863, Falmouth gained a new lease of life as a resort town. | ||

Visby | Thursday, Jul 17, 2025 | Thursday, Jul 17, 2025 |
Today a thriving holiday resort, Visby on the Baltic island of Gotland has become famous as 'the town of roses and ruins' - a living relic of a medieval heyday when this Hanseatic port vied in riches and fame with the great capitals of mainland Europe. Now its narrow cobbled streets and ruined churches reside behind the two-and-a-half mile 13th century city wall, a haunting monument to a lost glory. Gotland and Oland are part of the Baltic islands off the southeast coast of Sweden. Gotland is a blend of old and new with its natural beauty and cultural heritage. Hoards of coins and other treasures found on the island indicate its importance in maritime trade as far back as the Bronze Age. Gotland was nominally Swedish as early as the 9th century but long remained autonomous. In the Middle Ages Visby was a rich and important member of the Hanseatic League and had many splendid churches and elaborate fortified walls. Gotland was conquered by Denmark in 1361 and returned to Swedish rule in 1645. | ||

It is surrounded by a moat and contains several medieval buildings, including a 13th-century cathedral and guild halls from the 14th century. Riga is still historically and architecturally fascinating. | ||

Berlin (Warnemünde) | Sunday, Jul 20, 2025 | Sunday, Jul 20, 2025 |
Warnemünde is the gateway to Germany's capital. The fall of the Berlin Wall in November of 1989 was a conspicuous and symbolic end to the era of the "Iron Curtain". For 45 years, Berlin had existed as a city divided. Today, with the Brandenburg Gate open once more, Berlin thrives with new life, yet it is not quite totally reunited. Like twins who've been separated for many years, it will take awhile to get to know one another again. From the Brandenburg Gate, Unter den Linden leads to the heart of old Berlin with its Prussian palaces and monuments. Venerable Humboldt Universitat nurtured some of Germany's greatest thinkers, including Hegel, Einstein, the Brothers Grimm, and Karl Marx. Wander through Spandau Zitadelle, a medieval fortress surrounded by placid waters, where the 13th-century Juliusturm Tower guards long-dead stories of past glories. For a taste of Berlin's creative side, sample the cafes and clubs of Kreuzberg. | ||
Kiel | Monday, Jul 21, 2025 | Monday, Jul 21, 2025 |
Kiel is a city in north central Germany, in Schleswig-Holstein, a port on the Baltic Sea, at the eastern entrance of the Kiel Canal. The city has been noted as a port since the 10th century because of its excellent harbor, which is a tideless fjord. The city has a university and is a popular centre for pleasure boating. In 1284 Kiel became a member of the Hanseatic League. In 1773 it came under Danish rule, and in 1866, as part of Schleswig-Holstein, it passed to Prussia. In World War I the city was the headquarters of the German Imperial Fleet, and in World War II its important naval base was heavily bombed by the Allies. Here you can visit Eutin, the Holstein lakes, the Shipping Museum and further afield the City of Schleswig, Gottorf Castle, Lubeck and Hamburg. | ||
Hamburg | Tuesday, Jul 22, 2025 | Tuesday, Jul 22, 2025 |
Welcome to Hamburg, formerly Germany's largest city, which has a skyline dominated by historic spires, the largest port, the center of trade, and the most daring nightlife. Obviously, a city of superlatives, there is a reserved, gentlemanly quality about the citizens of Hamburg. Hamburg is a busy city of docks, quays and ships; the St. Pauli quarter where movie houses, restaurants, stage shows, bars and frivolous nightlife vie for patronage of thousands of tourists, sailors and locals. Hamburg is every shoppers dream and through its port, the city offers a wide range of varied and well-priced goods from elegant shopping to young fashion and antique shopping. Music and theater play a prominent role in Hamburg's daily life with the Hamburgische Staatsoper enjoying an international reputation for the staging of ballet repertoires. The revolutionary "communications centres", which combine arts, crafts, experimental theater and communications, in the widest sense represent the city's alternative cultural force. |

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:
Smoking (including Cigars, Pipes and Cigarettes) is allowed in:
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:
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.
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:
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.
Cons: N/a
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.
Staff were wonderful; Food was delightful; Ports visited were memorable.

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

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.

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)!
