Traveling has always been synonymous with discovery, but doing so with freedom, flexibility, and absolute comfort is also a privilege. Silversea, the luxury and expedition cruise line, has changed the pricing model by launching "The Luxury of Choice," a pricing model that puts the guest at the heart of every decision.
From September 11, 2025, you can design your own tailor-made trip thanks to three new fare options, designed for different passenger styles and needs. All this without sacrificing what distinguishes Silversea: its exclusive all-inclusive onboard experience, one of the most comprehensive at sea.
In a world where personalization is increasingly sought after, this shipping company responds with a less conventional approach. Its president, Bert Hernandez, is clear that this model reflects a deep commitment to listening to and responding to its customers.
Silversea travelers don't just want to visit destinations, but to do it their way, with the peace of mind that every detail has been designed for them. Now, thanks to these new fares, it's possible to decide how, when, and with what level of flexibility to experience it. The three new Silversea fares are as follows:
All-Inclusive Plus
The most comprehensive and highest value option. This fare includes a refundable deposit and the security of Silversea's Fare Guarantee Program. On ocean cruises, guests receive a shore excursion credit, adjusted to the length and region of the itinerary, which they can use freely for experiences of their choice. Expedition cruises include shore excursions, Zodiac tours, expert lectures, domestic flights, hotel nights before or after the voyage (when required by the destination), and other standard benefits.
All-Inclusive
Available only on ocean cruises, this fare offers the freedom to choose à la carte shore excursions, either by booking in advance or directly onboard. While it requires a non-refundable deposit, it's ideal for those who enjoy designing their own itinerary and value complete control over their destination experiences.
Last-Minute
Designed for the more spontaneous, this fare is available on select departures—both ocean and expedition cruises—within five months of embarkation. The main advantage is the savings it offers, although it requires full payment at the time of booking and the deposit is non-refundable. An excellent option for those who decide to embark on an adventure without much advance notice.
Luxury at Silversea isn't limited to sailing. The company has evolved its onshore offerings to provide a range of experiences that guarantee cultural immersion, authenticity, and unforgettable memories.
The new categories include:
- Highlight Experiences: seamless visits to the most iconic places.
- Signature Experiences: small group excursions, carefully designed by Silversea.
- Private Experiences: exclusive tours for private groups.
- Custom Experiences: totally personalized itineraries.
- Overland Experiences: two or three day land excursions during the cruise (on selected departures).
Each one has been designed to adapt to different traveler styles: from those looking for the essentials to those who want to experience unique and unrepeatable moments in an intimate and personalized environment.
City Stays by Silversea. Experience the city like its residents.
Another of the most outstanding innovations is the introduction of City Stays by Silversea, stays in luxury hotels located in the heart of iconic cities such as Copenhagen, Rome, Barcelona or Athens, among others.
Designed as a complement before or after the cruise, these programs allow the traveler to immerse themselves in local life in complete comfort thanks to central accommodation in luxury hotels, with gastronomic experiences, guided cultural visits and authentic encounters with the local community.
A perfect opportunity to extend your journey and discover each embarkation or disembarkation city with the same characteristic excellence of Silversea.
Tailor-made luxury
Now every guest has the freedom to create a tailor-made trip, confident in the brand's unwavering excellence. Whether planning ahead, booking at the last minute, or designing every detail of the itinerary, the promise remains the same: an enriching, authentic, and memorable experience, both at sea and on land.
Silversea remains unchanged regardless of fare, offering all its passengers an all-inclusive experience at sea, recognized as one of the most comprehensive in the industry. This means that, no matter the fare selected, guests enjoy exquisite cuisine paired with premium wines and spirits, including gratuities, cultural and entertainment activities, and personalized butler service in every suite, all while enjoying an intimate and elegant atmosphere aboard its exclusive ships.
