Silversea · Ship classes
Two fleets, one ultra-luxury standard. A short, plain-English guide to Silversea's classic ocean ships and its polar-class expedition fleet.
Two fleets, one standard
Silversea runs two distinct fleets under the same ultra-luxury banner. The classic ocean ships sail the world's great itineraries in butlered, all-suite comfort. The expedition ships take that same standard into Antarctica, the Arctic and the Galápagos.
The class you sail sets the tone entirely — the number of guests, the length of voyage, the cabins worth choosing and whether Zodiacs and parka-and-boots landings are part of the week. We help you pick accordingly.
The classic ocean fleet
Silversea's ocean fleet sails the world's great itineraries — from the Mediterranean and Caribbean to Asia, Africa and long-haul world voyages.
