Destination
Departure
Arrival
San Juan, Puerto Rico, is an old city of cobblestone streets, colonial architecture and shaded courtyards. It reflects its Spanish past in such famous fortresses as El Morro and San Cristobal. San Juan is also a modern world capital -- a cosmopolitan metropolis of wide boulevards, lively cafes and highly regarded shops and galleries. San Juan is two unique destinations -- and you'll be fascinated by them both.
Culebra is the smallest of the Spanish Virgin Islands and is located about 18 miles east of Puerto Rico. The island has beautiful beaches which can also be used as a camping ground. The most popular, Flamenco Beach, is known for its beautiful white soft sand. Snorkeling and scuba diving along the large coral kingdoms and observing the many sea creatures is a popular activity on the island. Most of all, the quiet island is a great place to relax!
Esperanza is a small town on Vieques Island with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea speckled with colorful fisherman boats. Enjoy the beautiful beach with crystal clear water, a selection of restaurants, some shopping, friendly locals, and of course the memorable amber sunsets.
There was never any hope of lucrative sugar plantations in St.Barths. It was too dry, too steep, too rocky, and, finally, too small. Unsuitable for agriculture, the island was never coveted as a prize during the colonial wars of the 18th century. The place had a serviceable harbor, and this allowed the town that grew around it, Gustavia, to play a key role in that intermittent conflict, a role that was to presage much of its future. Overflowing warehouses surrounded a harbor packed with ships from many nations, and a mercantile and architectural tradition was established that has lingered to the present day. Today, Gustavia has adjusted itself to satisfy the increasing number of visiting tourists. Restaurants, boutiques, and gift shops now line streets once busy with merchants, merchant seamen, and adventurers.

Norman islands has quiet the legendary history as having been host to dreaded pirates, and serving as the model for Robert Louis Stevenson's epic story, "Treasure Island." The island is now uninhabited and is mostly visited for it's beautiful cove, and mysterious caves. Offshore reefs provide excellent snorkeling and diving conditions.

Luxurious and spacious accommodations, Outstanding service from attentive crew, Wide variety of dining experiences , Engaging activities and entertainment, Relaxed dress code ★★★★★ January 28

Pros: Luxurious and spacious accommodations, Outstanding service from attentive crew, Wide variety of dining experiences , Engaging activities and entertainment, Relaxed dress code

Cons: Some dishes not always as hot as expected, Weather affected outdoor dining and arrival schedules

Review:

My husband and I enjoyed a 14-night cruise on Silversea's Silver Muse, making our way from Auckland to Sydney. We stayed in a deluxe veranda suite mid-ship on deck 7, which provided a spacious delight with its marble bathroom and walk-in closet. Cooler weather limited our time on the veranda, but the inviting suite became our cherished retreat. Throughout the cruise, the staff displayed professionalism with a warm demeanor. Our butler and stateroom attendant truly excelled, enhancing our stay with thoughtful service. Dining aboard Silver Muse proved a mostly satisfying experience, despite one or two dishes arriving less than perfectly heated. The relaxed dress code, featuring optional formal nights and predominantly "Elegant Casual" attire, added to the comfortable onboard atmosphere. Culinary highlights were abundant: Indochine offered a unique blend of vibrant flavors exclusive to Silver Muse. Atlantide delivered a taste of tradition with its classic dining ambiance. La Terrazza became our morning staple, with both a buffet and à la carte breakfast service. Arts Café served as a delightful retreat for days at sea, offering tasty treats. Though compact, La Dame stood out for its quality cuisine and service. Kaiseki’s lunchtime sushi and evening tasting menu provided an imaginative dining experience. The Silver Note jazz club captivatingly combined good food and smooth sounds. Embracing La Terrazza's Italian-themed dinners and the innovative "hot rocks" concept at The Grill, we found ourselves returning for more, though weather sometimes kept us indoors. A highlight of our activities was team trivia, energetically led by the cruise director—a fun and engaging way to connect with fellow guests. Weather did delay our arrival in Sydney, impacting our plans and necessitating last-minute arrangements. However, an impromptu hotel stay allowed us to explore the city, enriching our journey independently.

Cleanliness, nice staff, outstanding dining. ★★★★ August 2

Pros: Cleanliness, nice staff, outstanding dining.

Cons: One on one service has declined some, staterooms, with the exception of the bathroom, haven’t changed since my first sailing with SilverSea in 2012.

Review: Silversea is always a win with us. We like the service, hospitality and no onboard charges unless ordering a premium bottle of something, the spa, or dining in the French or Japanese restaurants. The one on one service with the butler seems to have gone down since our first sailing, this was our 6th, but eventually things work out. The food is exquisite and my only complaint being a US resident is wanting something lighter and more American for an evening meal.

Ports, Cabin, Service ★★★★ July 27

Pros: Ports, Cabin, Service

Cons: No Cons

Review: Overall all went well except I was a bit dissappointed with Silverseas vs. Other luxury lines i have sailed in the past. Specifically food quality, crowding in public spaces and sometimes what appeared to be a shortage of staff.

Huge room. Butler service was great. ★★★★★ April 18

Pros: Huge room. Butler service was great.

Cons: All the outlets were on one side of the bed. Television rarely worked .

Review: Great cruise. Very good ports and excursions

Silver suite was great. People were the best we have ever encountered. ★★★★ March 5

Pros: Silver suite was great. People were the best we have ever encountered.

Cons: 14 nights in which you had to wear a jacket 11 nights. Ridiculous

Review: Was told there was no formal nights turned out there was 3 plus 8 nights they call informal which requires a jacket.

Butlers in every cabin, several small restaurants and included shore excursions ★★★★★ January 2

Pros: Butlers in every cabin, several small restaurants and included shore excursions

Cons: Restaurants opened between 7 - 8pm

Review:

With a staff to guest ratio of nearly 1:1, the service level is outstanding.  The butlers were very involved and handled every need as well as all of the 24 hr room service and food delivery.  Room service includes everything from caviar to pizza!  The butler stocks the refrigerator with all of your favorite beverages and water, leaving the stateroom attendant to concentrate on making your cabin perfect every day.  Room service is also available on the day of disembarkation.
 
The cabins are spacious and nicely appointed.  Included are high quality robes and towels and Bvlgari toiletries.  
 
The ship is beautiful and offered several small dining options.  The food in all of the restaurants were excellent with the exception of La Dame ($60/pp). Kaiseki, the Japanize restaurant, is free for lunch and $60/pp at dinner.  There is no charge for any of the other restaurants. The Grill (Hot Rocks) restaurant is open air and set up around the pool.  Here you select your steak or seafood main coarse and cook it yourself on the hot stone placed in the middle of the table.  Two of our favorite restaurants were Indochine (Asian-fusion) and the Silver Note, which is small and has a jazz singer during dinner.  A couple of the restaurants had newer staff members who were learning the job, which caused some delays and confusion.  I was expecting La Dame to be the highlight and the best dining experience onboard, but unfortunately it was not.  Other guests mentioned disappointment with the food quality at La Dame.  
 
Our cruise had several single travelers as Silversea had a nice promotion "no single supplements".  The spa prices seemed a little steep at first, however, the price includes all taxes and gratuities.  Shore excursions are included as well as premium beverages.  There were three formal nights on our 14 night cruise.
 
We had some very authentic shore excursion experiences and the winery tours were very good.  What was unique about the bus drivers, they were also the tour guide, and provided great information along the way to our destinations.  A couple of the excursion vendors were disorganized.  Headphones were not provided on any of the tours and in some cases the group size was large which made it difficult to hear and follow along.
 
While there were a couple of hiccups, this is an excellent cruise ship and one I will sail with again.
 

Excellent destination. Friendly and helpful staff. Well appointed rooms. Well run tours. ★★★★ October 4

Pros: Excellent destination. Friendly and helpful staff. Well appointed rooms. Well run tours.

Cons: Food inconsistent, difficulty with dining reservations, lack of food options

Review:

The ship is beautifully decorated and well maintained. Rooms were quite spacious with plenty of drawer space and sockets for charging.
 
Large number of bars and restaurants with very friendly staff. Unfortunately the menus were primarily the same each of 14 days with one or two changes some days and food inconsistent in preparation. Very difficult to get dining reservations but not difficult to get into the main restaurants that did not require reservations. Large room service menu.
 
Nice piano and guitar music pre and post dinner. Ship production shows well presented. Special Korean music performance was a highlight. Would have been nice to have more variety of shows. Good daily lectures and activities including bridge instruction and play.
 
In addition to tours there was shuttle bus service to the city center in each port, which was quite nice to be able to explore on our own.
 
Internet faster than most ships without interruption.
 
Overall a great trip just needed a few tweaks to food offerings. 

Excellent service. The food was exceptional. The entertainment was wonderful. ★★★★★ September 29

Pros: Excellent service. The food was exceptional. The entertainment was wonderful.

Cons: No Cons

Review:

Embarkation was handled well. The suites were available at 4 p.m., but lunch was available as soon as boarding the ship at 2 pm. The food was excellent. The service, as always, was superior. The weather in Alaska in September was mild and sunny. The sea days were cooler than expected, but there were plenty of activities indoors. The cruise director, Jonathan, was energetic and a great showman. The staff were professional and polite.  

Staff, public areas and the amenities in the Suites............and the food and drink!!!! ★★★★★ September 25

Pros: Staff, public areas and the amenities in the Suites............and the food and drink!!!!

Cons: I did hear that when wanting to book future cruise that the Future cruise desk was not available and missed a few appointments. This was disappointing and quite a few people then heard about it!

Review: This was a wonderful experience for our first time on Silverseas. The MUSE is a beautiful ship and we never felt crowded or waited in one single line! The organization and helpfulness of the staff was 6 star! The suites were lovely and had all the amenities needed and more! Love having a big tub and a roomy shower. The closet was bigger than our closet at home, plenty of hangers and drawers for our things and I especially liked that we could tuck our suitcases out of the way for the week. The dining options were spectacular and it made it hard to decide where to eat. Loved Atlantide and the menu choices were great. Jhune (with an H) was so fun and we saw her every day. Also, Joseph, the bartender in Atlantide felt like a dear friend by the time we got off the ship. Breakfast in La Terrazza was a lovely buffet and lots of choices. We loved Indochin and went there a couple of times. Silver note was a favorite, as you are finishing dinner it becomes a cool little jazz club and the entertainers are great. We enjoyed Kaiseki for sushi during lunch time and they do not charge an additional fee for lunch! The Grill was great for light lunch and dinner, choices are good and you can't beat the view!!! Again, the staff are wonderful at all the venues and make you feel like you are special. I can't end this review of dining options without mentioning how good the Pizza is at Spaccanapoli!! I think they are always open so good Pizza choices anytime overlooking the pool!! The folks at the Reception desk could not have been more helpful and very welcoming. Emily and Rosita were just delightful. I heard them talking with other guests and they were so nice to everyone and great problem solvers! We noticed that from the staff to the other guests we met, everyone Loves Silverseas and if this was their first cruise, they would return and the repeat guests just keep coming back! We will definately "come" back, already have plans for next year! This was an awesome way to visit Alaska! Oh, did I not mention the Shore excursions? They were very cool and educational and fun and a good time was had by all!

Attentive staff, wonderful amenities, beverages and gratuities included ★★★★ July 29

Pros: Attentive staff, wonderful amenities, beverages and gratuities included

Cons: Excursions were great, but left very little time to explore ports

Review: The pre-cruise land tour to Denali was incredible!

Whale watching ★★★★ July 17

Pros: Whale watching

Cons: limited space on desirable excursions

Review: Would definitely recommend the Seward to Vancouver trip. Ending in Juneau then Seward might be a bit disappointing. We did not see many mammals roaming freely in Alaska, which might be a function of the time of the year and what excursions were available. Would recommend researching the topic more thoroughly outside of the excursion descriptions on the website. Did see humpback whales in a group bubble feeding, orcas breaching, and many bald eagles. The suites were nice, but there may have been staffing issues on our cruise. Dinner meals often took a long time, and room service was hit or miss - some orders were not delivered at all.

Luxury and service ★★★★★ June 16

Pros: Luxury and service

Cons: challenging to make dinner reservatiions

Review:

My cabin was large and lovely. Our butler was fantastic and helped us in every way. Our cabin was cleaned by the time we returned from breakfast, which was so great. I loved the gym and all the lounge areas.
The ship was immaculate everywhere and all the time.
 

All-inclusive...and I mean all-inclusive ★★★★★ June 3

Pros: All-inclusive...and I mean all-inclusive

Cons: Weather...but that is Alaska

Review: Staff was outstanding. Included excursions were perfect. Food was superb. Very comfortable and very relaxing trip.

Excellent food, Interesting itinerary, Enjoyed shore excursions, Excellent service from all dining room officers Requests were always fulfilled. ★★★★ February 25

Pros: Excellent food, Interesting itinerary, Enjoyed shore excursions, Excellent service from all dining room officers Requests were always fulfilled.

Cons: Inconsistent service in the dining rooms. It seemed that there were many "trainees" who either were too new and not ready to do their job or training was insufficient.

Review: Difficult to hear some important announcements. We understand that there is a need to not interrupt at all hours of the day but when important announcements are not broadcast for the entire ship, information can be missed. We had to constantly open our suite door to hear announcements. Ship's clock was not working for most of the trip. Paying an extra $60/person for La Dame was ridiculous. Much of the same food could be found in the other dining rooms. Wait staff was hovering - they did not have enough to do to keep them busy as there were only 3 tables the night we were there - very annoying. Bar and wine service was always excellent in all areas. Attended several lectures. All speakers were excellent. Cabin service was inconsistent. All in all we enjoyed the trip, however, it is advertised as a "super luxury experience" but we felt that we have had similar or even better experiences on other cruise lines.

My butler needed additional training. My cabin steward was great but had a very heavy accent, so it was difficult for me to understand him. ★★★★★ August 13

Pros: My butler needed additional training. My cabin steward was great but had a very heavy accent, so it was difficult for me to understand him.

Cons: The reception was sporadic, so checking your onboard account, restaurant information and emails were difficult.

Review: The staff was very welcoming and professional. The lecturer, Lt. Col. Rick Francona was exceptional. Several shore excursions were canceled due to the lack of staff to operate the tours plus the weather conditions.

Service and staff. Cabin accommodations and. food. Door to door experience. ★★★★ August 13

Pros: Service and staff. Cabin accommodations and. food. Door to door experience.

Cons: Would like more daily activities and entertainment. Wifi internet spotty.

Review: So close to a 5 star review.

Everything was great. The staff exceeded all my expectations- kudos to the silversea muse staff. ★★★★★ June 12

Pros: Everything was great. The staff exceeded all my expectations- kudos to the silversea muse staff.

Cons: Spotty internet.

Review: The internet was the only problem.

Great staff,suites,food, fantastic host Bob Anthony ★★★★ February 21

Pros: Great staff,suites,food, fantastic host Bob Anthony

Cons: Same menu t hruout the trip,difficulty in making dinner reservations,not enough to do during sea time,lectures,movies,,

Review: Overall a good time,fantastic host,made sure everything was taken of even when dinner reservations were a problem.The shuttle service at the port in Sydney needs to be improved,long waits. POrts like Eden,could be eliminated and add extra day on at Melbourne

Food, service, accommodations, destination lectures, special lectures, entertainment ★★★★ February 19

Pros: Food, service, accommodations, destination lectures, special lectures, entertainment

Cons: Lack of onboard activities, menu variance

Review: Service, food, accommodations, all excellent. No main dining room but 8 different restaurants. Menu’s don’t change enough if one likes more Venus than others. Hard to make reservations for some and I think SS needs to find a way to make them accessible to all. Limited daytime activities on board for days at sea. They could improve on their offerings.

Ship size & itinerary ★★★★ November 24

Pros: Ship size & itinerary

Cons: Shore excursions, fitness center size, equipment

Review: travel time from port into Bangkok with traffic was horrendous. Excursions were disappointing. Fitness center is small, limited # of machines with a few out of order.

The staff almost immediately knows the guests' names and preferences. The Guest Relations staff works hard to meed indiviual requests and needs. The suites are large and beautifully decorated. ★★★★★ September 29

Pros: The staff almost immediately knows the guests' names and preferences. The Guest Relations staff works hard to meed indiviual requests and needs. The suites are large and beautifully decorated.

Cons: The food is sometimes uneven, and many guests remarked that it was often not hot enough. The fee based restaurants seem over priced for what is offered.

Review:

The Silver Muse is a beautiful ship, built in 2017, carrying 596 passengers and 411 crew. The small ship intimacy and the almost one to one ratio provides personalized service for every guest and every request. All of the suites are ocean view or veranda and each has its own butler to provide that personalized service and to meet almost any need expressed. The staff quickly knows the passengers' names and preferences and provides seamless service in all venues. The public areas are tastefully decorated and well staffed. There are 8 different dining options with different themes and offerings (two have a per person additional fee.) Activities and lectures are offered daily and provide the opportunity to enrich oneself, to enjoy the voyage, and to get to know other guests. All in all, the Silver Muse provides the ultra luxury experience for which Silversea is known.

The ship was perfect. Outstanding food, staff...impeccable ★★★★ August 1

Pros: The ship was perfect. Outstanding food, staff...impeccable

Cons: Excursions were a little long

Review: Could not improve anything regarding the ship itself. Great accommodations!

Size of the ship rooms were perfect ★★★★★ June 19

Pros: Size of the ship rooms were perfect

Cons: Need iron change menus more often

Review: We had a silver suite and the room and service was exempt. The entire staff was also very good. Loved the choices of restaurants but some needed to add or change the menu for longer trips. The excursions were generally overpriced.

Extremely nice staff, good food in all dining venues ★★★★ February 19

Pros: Extremely nice staff, good food in all dining venues

Cons: Laundry room small.

Review: Very attractive ship in common areas and the suites. The shore excursions were good. People did wear "formal" (tuxedos or dark suits) and cocktail dresses for the formal nights. That enabled you to eat in the restaurant of your choice.

Lovely venues, open bars, helpful friendly staff, large comfortable suites with showers and tubs ★★★★★ February 9

Pros: Lovely venues, open bars, helpful friendly staff, large comfortable suites with showers and tubs

Cons: The ship does bounce around a bit in rough weather, Management tries to be helpful but one gets the feeling that the real intent is to sell the guest something as an answer to a question. e.g. In answer to the question, "What wine is being served tonight (that is complementary?") the reply might be, "Oh let me show you the wine list (which is not complentary.) Or in answer to the question, "Can you check with the port agent for the names of some dentists in town?" You might get the reply, "Oh you must see the doctor on board first (and pay his fee) for HIM to make that recommendation." Sometimes the right hand does communicate well with the left. A shore exursion that was booked with a private vehicle for 6 passengers, showed up only able to accommodate 2. (After waiting an hour and a half for a new vehicle, it was given to the group for free, but as one guest commented to me, "even though it was free, you get what you pay for. The guide was awful"

Review:

This was my 3rd time sailing on Silver Muse. There has been great improvements in the dining rooms reservations systems which were a problem initially for Silver Muse. She is a midsize to small ship with limited entertainment options although I found most of the guests satisfied with what was offered. The ports of call were wonderful with basic tour options offered. Meals were well planned, served nicely in lovely venues and the staff was for the most part excellent.

All the pluses of Silver Seas, new ship is somewhat (not lots) better ★★★★ January 18

Pros: All the pluses of Silver Seas, new ship is somewhat (not lots) better

Cons: Shore stops and land possibilities are NOT Good

Review: See above, would only do if you want to be through the Panama Canal, Which was worth it. RGE

Attractive, comfortable ship, good food and service. ★★★★ January 5

Pros: Attractive, comfortable ship, good food and service.

Cons: Entertainment not up to par.

Review: They have several new dining venues, which is quite nice. However, if there is a function that ends at a set time, there is a made rush to wherever someone may not have a reservation, and it is quite uncomfortable. A solution should be found.... The Entertainment Troupe is good, but there is canned music, and the productions have no imagination or pizazz! The Celebrity guests were poor, except for one. That is not satisfactory on a 5+ Star ship!

Staff was excellent. Wines had improved. Cuisine was very good in La Terrazza. High level of service and finally contemporary background music all over the ship. ★★★★ September 5

Pros: Staff was excellent. Wines had improved. Cuisine was very good in La Terrazza. High level of service and finally contemporary background music all over the ship.

Cons: Food uneven in other venues. Shore excursions uneven as well. Transfers in Lisbon priced very high. Deck 5 bar is an immense space and never more than 15 people in it. Entertainment contunues to be unexciting and repetitive.

Review:

Signature Host. Ship is beautiful but going through some growing pains. About 580 on board, suites larger than other ships and color scheme very neutral with high end finishes. Seven dining venues-dress code  organized by venue-very confusing-this is changing in Oct. . And dining all by reservation also does not allow for spontaneous dinners with new friends. This will be changed also, so that Indochine and Atlantide will become open seating. Both of these dining rooms are on Deck 4 and quite dark.

Size of Ship, quality of food, crew, ports, all inclusive, large cabins with balconies ★★★★ May 16

Pros: Size of Ship, quality of food, crew, ports, all inclusive, large cabins with balconies

Cons: Small ports requiring tenders, No main restaurant, Limited socialization with other passengers

Review: This is a ship designed for guests who totally want to cruise with the persons that are in their party. This ship has a great experienced knowledgeable crew, 8 different restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, and bars that are well stocked. Shore excursions are well thought out and fun.
