Mega Ships: Ideal for those seeking a resort-style experience with endless activities, diverse dining options, and grand entertainment. Perfect for families and those who love vibrant atmospheres.
Medium Ships: Balance between variety and intimacy. They provide a good range of activities and dining, but with fewer crowds, making them great for those who want a bit of both worlds.
Small Ships: Best for a personalized and intimate experience. These ships can access smaller ports and offer a more relaxed and refined ambiance, perfect for those seeking tranquility and unique destinations.
Choosing the best way to cruise depends on personal preferences and what kind of experience you’re looking for!

In 2022, you could only make the reservations for the shows once on board using the app. We did that once we were on board and then went to the specialty dining desk and made all our specialty dining reservations then too. They may have improved the function, but if you can’t do it ahead of time, just be sure to get on board early and do it right away.

Hi Mark,
From our experience, I really can’t 100% answer you questions. When we sailed, there were only 250 guests on our ship, so we were able to book the Endicott Arm Excursion directly on board. At that time Silversea was not yet including shore excursions in the price of the cruise in Alaska. I would reach out through your booking channel, either through your travel agency or Silversea direct and see if you can find the answer as to when and how those excursions would be available. It could be that they don’t have the contracts in place for the 2023 season, or they are sold out, but either way, if these excursions are something you really want to do, you should make every effort to book them ahead of time. Reach out to your contacts and find out if they are not yet available, sold out, or at least when they might open for booking. Bon Voyage.

I have a question if I may concerning shore excursions. We have booked a number of these already, however there is nothing showing available in Endicott Arm or Hubbard Glacier.

So my question is, are the excursions from the ship at these two locations bookable in advance, and are they treated as complimentary ?

I’d welcome any advice you can offer on this.

Many thanks

Mark
