Silversea has introduced four distinct categories for its 17 suite types. The new Oceanview, Veranda, Residence, and Villa categories will each feature their own unique comfort amenities, while all suites will continue to include Silversea's signature services and benefits. Guests in the Residence and Villa categories will also enjoy a new selection of perks, further enhancing the company's personalized service across its small fleet. These new benefits will apply to departures from January 1, 2027.
“Guests choose to travel with Silversea time and again because of the intimacy of our ships and the personalized service that comes with it,” said Bert Hernandez, President of Silversea. “Our new suite categories allow us to directly reinforce that foundation. Whether it’s through early access to spa and restaurant reservations or exclusive time with the ship’s head sommelier, we are strengthening the personalized service that has always defined Silversea, while maintaining and expanding the amenities our guests know and love.”.
