Smaller to Mid-Size Ships

Silversea’s intimate ships were designed for those who delight in the thrill of discovery while indulging mind and body in the most lavish surroundings imaginable. With just a few hundred guests, the ambience is casual and relaxing. Open bars and open-seating restaurants encourage socializing with an international crowd of fellow travelers. Silversea’s ships can glide into small, secluded harbours not yet on the radar ~ or transport you on an expedition to some of the most remote regions of the globe. In the evening, enjoy gracious hospitality, epicurean cuisine and friendly camaraderie in the lounges and open bars. Then retreat to the lavish amenities of your private sanctuary at sea. Silversea’s fleet consists of 5 ultra-elegant ships ranging in capacity from 296 to 596 guests - Silver Wind, Silver Shadow, Silver Whisper, Silver Spirit, Silver Muse - and 3 expedition ships specifically designed for navigating waters in more remote regions - Silver Explorer, Silver Galapagos and the newly renovated ice-class Silver Cloud Expedition. Silversea's new super-elegant flagship Silver Muse debuted in 2017, and Silversea will partner once again with Fincantieri for the construction of yet another luxury ship - Silver Moon - expected for August 2020. Silver Moon will echo the innovative design of Silver Muse with a few additional enhancements. Silver Dawn will be the tenth ultra-luxury ship to join Silversea's fleet in September 2021, and will feature cutting-edge design and technology.

Imagine spending a week on a private luxury yacht. Small is beautiful! Windstar’s unique small luxury sailing yachts are exactly the right size – large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into the tiny harbors and hidden coves inaccessible to larger vessels. An incredible value and with only 148 to 310 guests sailing with you, you can rub shoulders with the glitterati in Monte Carlo, dive among coral reefs in Tahiti, nestle into Capri’s picturesque port, mingle with yachtsmen in their favorite spots, and make a wish with a floating lantern in Hoi An. Dining is prepared by a premier chef and served in intimate, impeccable style with a superb collection of fine wines.

Windstar has now doubled the size of its fleet from three sailing yachts to six ships consisting of three new power yachts:  Star Pride, Star Breeze and Star Legend - after multi-million dollar refurbishments.

Named #1 Boutique Cruise Ship by Berlitz Cruise Guide to Cruising & Cruise Ships and The Best Small Luxury Cruise Ship by ForbesLife magazine, the mega-yachts SeaDream I and SeaDream II have brought luxury cruising to a new level. The motto “It’s yachting, not cruising” comes to life. From the moment you are welcomed aboard by the Captain, it feels as if you are being welcomed onto your own private luxury yacht. Your inclusive SeaDream voyage includes ocean view accommodations, gourmet meals served in the Dining Salon or Al Fresco at the Outdoor Topside Restaurant, 24 hour room service from the “Small Bites” menu, Open Bar with selected premium brands, wine with lunch and dinner, and gratuities.

Two more things make these intimate twin ships exceptional: the all-teak deck that features numerous Balinese sun beds and the aft retractable marina offering glass-bottom kayaks, banana boats, snorkel equipment and sailboats. You can even go water-skiing or ride a Jet Ski. Being that this is a cozy yacht, Belgian linens, down duvets, wool blankets, and Bvlgari bath products are the focus. Guests always get a kick out of the monogrammed pajamas laid out in their stateroom upon arrival, and if you've got the nerve, wear them when you enjoy an evening "sleeping under the stars" on the Balinese beds on Deck 6.
