Overview
Sleek, sophisticated, and sensuous, the crew member is a ship made for a mature traveler who is looking to unwind and experience the finer touches in life. Silversea exemplifies this attitude with their top-notch service, where your every whim is met by a prompt and friendly member of the crew. Aboard the Silver Shadow, there is a crew member for nearly every passenger. Indulge in a drink delivered to you in the whirlpool. Savor a gourmet meal in The Restaurant inspired by your itinerary. Sip a cocktail as you peer out into an amazing seascape at the Observation Lounge.

Silver Shadow
A 15 day cruise from Ft Lauderdale to New York on the Silver Shadow is a real treat. With 8 port days and 7 sea days, it's a nice balance of land and sea. Four bars and four restaurants and less than 400 guest, makes for a very open and spacious feeling all the time. Never to busy. Always great service.
Pros: Silversea service is always great. On a small ship, it's even better.
Cons: Being a small ship, rough seas can be felt.

Silver Shadow
Really GREAT cruise!
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)!
Cons: Itinerary included JeJu Island in So. Korea (a real negative)

Silver Shadow
As first-time cruisers, with one traveler very nervous about motion sickness, our travel agent did an excellent job of navigating us through the world of cruising. He recommended SilverSea and it was a perfect fit for our group, which comprised one couple in their early 80s and one couple in their early 50s. He picked out the perfect cabins - 641 and 639, which happened to be about 1 1/2 feet wider than all the other cabins on that deck. He also arranged for a private tour in Skagway and gave recommendations on other tours to book through his firm and through SilverSea. He took care of everything from start to finish and made this splurge of a vacation effortless. The Silver Shadow is a beautiful ship and the staff pamper the guests to an almost embarrassing degree. It was fun getting to know them and seeing the genuine enjoyment the staff has working together and interacting with the guests. Our butler, Kiran, arranged for a private tour of the galley with the executive chef, which was a special treat. The port excursions were well organized and well executed. The on-board naturalist gave informative and entertaining lectures. There is an on-board professional shopper (Phillip) for those planning on purchasing jewelry in Alaska. All in all, this was an outstanding vacation. I recommend SilverSea highly.
Pros: Impeccable service, small ship, total pampering
Cons:

Silver Shadow
The staff aboard the Silver shadow was extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure all passengers thoroughly enjoyed their cruise experience. Our Butler was just incredible and thought of everything even before we could mention many things. We could not say enough for him. The wait staff was knowledgeable and polite as well as extremely attentive. The cuisine was fabulous and can honestly say there are no complaints. Overall a wonderful destination on a wonderful ship.
Pros: The Shadow is a small intimate Ship with excellent service
Cons: N/A

Silver Shadow
It was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. There are not words to describe the beauty of Alaska and everything the ship and staff does to make the trip outstanding.
Pros: Ship rooms, staff, spa and excursions
Cons: We ate and drank too much and now we need to go to the gym!
