Creator's Key Takeaways
Silver Sea exists to unlock the authentic beauty of the world and I think Versailles has always been one of those places that we dream about.
When you think as a Silver Sea guest that you can go into one of France's most iconic palaces for a private evening somewhere that usually sees between 10 and 15,000 people per day and you're going to go for a private dinner in the Gallery of the Battles with no more than 200 of your closest friends.
To me, that's a classic Silver Sea experience when you're not standing in a queue, but you're actually immersing yourself in where you are.
It's an element of living history because you're not just there seeing it. You're actually doing and experiencing it.
