Are Silversea cruises completely all-inclusive?

Yes, Silversea cruises offer a fully all-inclusive, luxury onboard experience. The All-inclusive fare includes dining in all restaurants, unlimited beverages from premium champagne, spirits, and wines to specialty coffees, sparkling water and fine teas. Butler service, 24-hour in-suite dining and a minibar restocked daily with preferred beverages ensures a personalised experience. Also included is Wi-Fi, onboard entertainment, enrichment lectures, access to sauna and other relaxation areas. 

To add a shore excursion credit to the all-inclusive experience, book your Classic voyage on the ‘All-Inclusive Plus fare’. Expedition cruises include expedition activities as standard as these voyages are automatically booked on the All-Inclusive Plus fare for the ultimate adventure ashore.
Are gratuities included on Silversea cruises?

Onboard gratuities are already included in your Silversea fare, so you won't need to tip your private butler or any onboard crew.

Which Australian ports do Silversea cruises depart from?

Silversea offers several departure points around Australia. Cruises from Melbourne typically sail to nearby destinations such as Far North Queensland or the North and South Islands of New Zealand. To explore The Kimberley, voyages depart from Broome, Darwin, or Perth (Fremantle), with multiple itinerary options covering the region and Australia’s Top End. From Sydney, cruises travel further ashore to destinations such as Singapore or Japan.

For itineraries outside Australia—including Antarctica Expeditions or Classic cruises through the Adriatic or Mediterranean—you'll need to fly over to the destination to reach the embarkation port listed in your itinerary. Silversea offers optional flight packages at an additional cost.
What is not included on Silversea cruises?

On Silversea Classic voyages, shore excursions are not included as standard. Silversea do however offer a shore excursion credit when booking on the All-Inclusive Plus fare, with the credit value varying by itinerary. 

On a Silversea Expedition cruise, expedition activities are already factored in. Some expeditions may include shore excursions with local providers in addition to expedition activities, depending on the itinerary. 
 
To sum up, every Silversea cruise is all-inclusive onboard. Depending on the Classic cruise itinerary and the fare type booked, a shore excursion credit may, or may not be included.
Why are Silversea cruises expensive?

Silversea is an ultra-luxury cruise line designed for travellers seeking an exceptional, personalised experience. Everything is included. Enjoy attentive white glove service, a nearly 1:1 staff to guest ratio, and your own private butler. Dining is a standout with elevated menus and a range of speciality restaurants—spanning French fine dining, authentic Italian cuisine, Japanese delicacies, and Silversea’s renowned S.A.L.T. Kitchen, offering destination inspired dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients. 

Suites are spacious and elegant, many with private verandas to enjoy the sweeping ocean views. Ships such as the Silver Nova also feature beautifully designed public spaces to relax in style. Every element of a Silversea cruise is designed exclusively with comfort travel in mind.
Can I wear jeans on Silversea?

You can wear jeans during the day on a Silversea cruise however denim doesn’t comply with the Silversea onboard dress code when attending restaurants, bars and other indoor spaces after 6:00pm. Indoor venues also don't allow shorts, sneakers, runners, hats or flip-flop rubber-type footwear like thongs or slides. 

So that you’re covered for the duration of the cruise, daytime sophisticated casual wear, evening elegant casual wear (think elevated smart casual clothing) and a couple of evening formal outfits should be packed—think gown or cocktail dress for women and a dark suit with tie for men. For an Expedition cruise, you can leave your formal wear behind and pack elegant smart casual clothing for dinner and drinks after 6pm and dress for warmth and comfort by day.
Are shore excursions included on Silversea cruises?

Silversea Shore Excursions are available to book ahead of your Classic cruise at an additional cost. If you book your Classic cruise on the All-inclusive Plus fare, a shore excursion credit per person is included to put towards the Silversea Shore Excursion of your choice, noting the credit value will vary by itinerary, and depending on the overall cost of the excursion, the balance will need to be paid when booking. 

There are different types of Shore Excursions—on a Silversea Alaska Cruise, this could look like a Highlight Experience at the incredible Mendenhall Glacier, a Private Experience whale watching tour by private boat, or Signature Experience salmon fishing in Sitka. On a Silversea Expedition Cruise in Antarctica, Expedition activities include Zodiac® cruising, hiking, and kayaking led by Expedition Experts — you won't need to pre-book these.
Are Silversea cruises adults only?

Children are allowed on a Silversea cruise however Silversea ships are not generally catered to children as there are no dedicated kid spaces on board. Current offerings are tailored to adults. For the travelling family seeking a refined cruising experience with creature comforts onboard and immersive experiences ashore, Silversea could be a suitable option.
