There
is something magical about discovering the world from your very own
private veranda. Feeling the ocean breeze caress your skin. Listening to
the surf gently roll by. Which is why seventy-five percent of our
all-suite accommodations feature a private teak veranda. Beautifully appointed with all the comforts of home, every suite features a marbled bath with a full-sized tub. In all we offer six different types of suites. Ranging in size from almost 250 square feet to over 1,300, each is decorated in hushed pastels and warm hues and offers a rare degree of finesse and refinement. Luxury is found in every detail. Cut crystal. Crisp Frette linens. Personalized stationery. Bvlgari soap, shampoo and lotion. And yes, our signature teak verandas. |
 Silversea
was founded in 1992 with the intent of setting a new cruise industry
standard in the ultra-luxury cruise market by offering a superior
quality experience with all-inclusive value-for-money pricing. |
