Search Help
You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:
Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can
specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if
you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.
→ In the "Advanced Search"
Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify
it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only
want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.
Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For
example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in
the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!
Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum
amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room
type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for
two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.
Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships
with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.
→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour
If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only
see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include
both vacation types.

A purpose-built luxury expedition ship, Silversea's 132-guest Silver Explorer (previously named Prince Albert II), has
been designed specifically to navigate through the waters of some of the world's most remote destinations. In fact, this all-oceanview
vessel has a strengthened hull with a Lloyd's Register ice-class notation (1A) for passenger vessels, enabling it to safely and easily
push through ice flows.
Being an all-inclusive product, gratuities, dining and beverages (including fine wines and spirits) are included in the price of each
Silver Explorer cruise. Also included are hosted adventures ashore and special onboard events. During each cruise Silversea
will provide a team of explorers, scientists, authors, photographers and destination experts at your side as you explore remarkable
destinations.
Guests sailing on a Silver Explorer cruise can make use of the Zodiac boats aboard the ship, allowing them to visit
off-the-beaten path locations as Silversea's Expedition Team provides expert insight and understanding of the destination being
explored. Guests will be provided with a complimentary parka (on Polar voyages) and water-resistant backpack, adding to their authentic
expedition experience.
A butler is available to pamper each guest sailing aboard Silver Explorer. This ship's accommodations are among the largest of
any expedition cruise ship, and are appointed with luxurious amenities such as in-suite bar setups, and marble baths with tubs. Many
suites also have a French balcony or large private veranda.
With a crew to guest ratio of nearly 1 to 1, each guest receives the exemplary service that Silversea Cruises is so well known for.
Dining is open seating and there is casual attire worn on board, creating a relaxed atmosphere during the cruise. In fact, it's so
casual on board Silver Explorer, that guests are welcome to visit the bridge during most hours of the day (while the ship is at
sea). A convenient dining option is 24-hour room service, with no charge or tipping needed. The gourmet menus available in the ship's
main dining venue, The Restaurant, have specialty dishes that are the result of a collaboration between Silversea and their preferred
culinary partner, Relais & Cháteaux.
