Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of the Silversea Silver Spirit, documenting their experience from embarkation in Venice to various Mediterranean ports. They explore the ship's amenities, including a superior veranda suite, the Zagara Spa, and the fitness center. A significant portion of the video focuses on the culinary offerings, where the creators evaluate multiple dining venues such as the Atlant restaurant, the Italian restaurant La Terrazza, the fine dining La Dame, and the Silver Note. They highlight the high level of service provided by their butler, Penny, and note the availability of complimentary caviar and champagne. The creators also detail several shore excursions, including visits to castles in Trieste, exploring caves, and participating in an ATV tour and a cookery school in Dubrovnik. While they express dissatisfaction with the Indo-China and Asian dining options, they conclude that the overall experience is ultra-luxury. They mention that the ship is scheduled for a major refurbishment to introduce newer dining concepts and note that traveling in the shoulder season like October offers benefits such as fewer crowds and better pricing.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We have actually been invited on this ship by the social media team from Silver Sea Cruises and they're actually filming us.

The welcome on board was champagne on trays, caviar. What a welcome that was.

The butler is the best. He is the best.

Silver Note was so different. We just enjoy that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider cruising in the off-season (October) for fewer crowds and better prices.
