Silversea Offers Excursions to Moscow from St. Petersburg.
If you have any grasp of geography, you know that Moscow isn’t a destination that ocean-going cruise ships can reach (river cruisers can, however). And yet yesterday, on a Baltic cruise, ten of us sailing on Silversea Cruises’ Silver Whisper, spent a full day exploring Red Square, the Kremlin and other Moscow attractions.

Silver Whisper docked yesterday at Stockholm's Stadsgårdshamnen, just steps away from the fine new museum, Fotografiska.
It was not raining yesterday in Stockholm, and that was good thing when it came to exploring the city for cruise passengers (me one of them) departing at 6 p.m. on Silver Whisper.
Arriving before noon, I had time to get out to see some of the city’s attractions. One of the newest ones was right next to the ship, Fotografiska. Read more...(324 words, 2 images, estimated 1:18 mins reading time)
On July 28, 2010, the Cruise Report boards Silversea Cruises Silver Whisper for a look at the ship’s latest make-over (see the video below) on a cruise from Stockholm to Copenhagen.

When Crystal Cruises introduced its “As You Wish, All-Inclusive” program last year, giving a $2,000-per-couple onboard credit that passengers can spend on whatever they want, the line challenged the very notion of the “all-inclusive” cruise.
Luxury cruise lines have always hung their hats on being the most inclusive of vacations. What that means varies by the line, but for most – Regent Seven Seas, Silversea Cruises, Seadream Yacht Club, and the Yachts of Seabourn – it means premium liquors and wines, bottled water, specialty coffees, specialty restaurants, and gratuities, are all included.

On a recent Silversea voyage, I particularly enjoyed The Market Visit & Cooking Class in Sète, France. This Silver Shore Collection excursion will be offered again on Silver Wind’s Voyage 2025, sailing August 1, 2010, Lisbon to Monte Carlo.
Check out the video for a walk-through of Silversea Cruises’ Silver Whisper during the final days of a 14-day dry-dock project in Genoa.

During our eight-day Mediterranean cruise, the most popular bar in town often is found back on Silver Wind. At least the price is right, as cocktails, champagnes, wines and beer are all served free of charge (except for a few ultra-premium brands).
Last week, when Star Flyer dropped anchor here, St. Tropez was too crowded to be adored. What a difference a week makes.
This week, Star Flyer was anchored off Silver Wind’s starboard side, and Azamara Journey was anchored off our port side. Despite three ships in port, St. Tropez was relaxed and uncrowded.
And the weather, as you can see in the photos, was simply sublime, a perfect day in the south of France. Read more...(151 words, 7 images, estimated 36 secs reading time)
