Inside Passage top to bottom

| Alaska
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.

Amazing ship

| Alaska
Could not improve anything regarding the ship itself. Great accommodations!

Silver Muse August 24th-31st 2023

| Alaska
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!

Alaska at its best

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

Silver muse

| New Zealand,Australia
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

Hong Kong to Singapore

| Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangkok, Singapore
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.

Silver Muse Western Med

| Western Med
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.

A Cruise Down under

| Australia/New Zealand
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.

Australia and New Zealand

| Australia and New Zealand
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.

Luxury @ Sea on the Silver Muse

| New Zealand
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.
 

Great ship great size

| Alaska
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.

Bucket List Trip

| Seward to Vancouver
The pre-cruise land tour to Denali was incredible!

Panama Canal Cruise

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

Silver Muse Jan/Feb 2023

| Australia/New Zealand
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.

Silversea Muse

| Vancouver
The internet was the only problem.

Alan

| Australia and New Zealand
Was told there was no formal nights turned out there was 3 plus 8 nights they call informal which requires a jacket.

Silversea Muse Alaska

| Alaska
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.
 

Silver Muse Feb. 1,2020

| New Zealand and Australia
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.

Inaugural Sailing 14 days

| Mediterranean
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.

Silver Muse

| Acceptable
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!

Silversea Muse - 18 nights Vancouver to Tokyo

| Vancouver to Tokyo
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.  

| Japan
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. 

Silver Muse Anchorage to Tokyo

| Alaska to Japan
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.

Almost Perfect

| Alaska
So close to a 5 star review.

Silversea Muse 7-day sailing - Vancouver to Seward

| Alaska
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.
