Silversea Cruises is a relatively young cruise ship company
as compared to their bigger, older competitors. Founded in 1994,
this private company has its headquarters based in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida and Monaco. Depending on the time of the
year that you wish to spend a long or short vacation in, there
are several destinations that you can visit including the United
States, United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore.
The Silversea Cruises company is owned by the Lefebvre family of
Rome, Italy. When the company was just starting out in the
business, a lot of their direct competitors were doubtful as to
whether Silversea Cruises can survive in the industry which was
already dominated by the bigwig cruise companies.
Much to everyone's surprise, however, the first ship of
Silversea Cruises called Silver Cloud was immediately followed
by the sailing of the second ship called Silver Wind. What made
Silversea Cruises stand out from the rest of the pack is that
they are the first one to offer Personalized Voyages.
For this, passengers can actually choose their own
embarkation and disembarkation points – so that a personalized
journey can easily be created. As long as you are sailing for
five straight nights, you can stay on board for days before or
after a cruise begins.

you might need.
2. Silver Wind
This is the follow-up to the Silver Cloud ship which can also

the luxuries of a private yacht, the amenities of a country club
and the fine services of an exclusive hotel.
4. Silver Whisper

ocean-view suites as accommodations.
5. Silver Spirit
First sailing the seas in December 2009, the Silver Spirit is
the largest among the fleet that Silversea Cruises has. It can
carry up to 540 guests and provides passengers with the ultimate
in luxury cruise indulgence.
6. Prince Albert II
Boarding the Prince Albert II which can only accommodate 132
guests is a truly unforgettable experience. What makes this ship
distinctive is the ice-strengthened hull, which allows it to
serve as a purpose-built expedition ship.
All in all, the fleet of Silversea Cruises ships are designed to
be your home while sailing amidst the oceans of the world. While
it defines the ultimate in sailing luxury, each ship is small
enough to be docked in destinations which larger cruise ships
cannot cruise by – making each trip more exciting.
