Selected shore excursions on all Silver Moon, Silver Dawn and Silver Nova cruises benefit from a culinary focus. These in-depth and informative shore excursions are accompanied by our food experts, who are adept at explaining the intricacies of foreign cuisine. S.A.L.T. offers the curious cruiser so many options; the only thing you need to do is choose. Never has a cruise line provided such an in-depth, holistic way of visiting their destination. Do one or do them all.

Wheelchair guests must bring their own collapsible wheelchair. Please note that not all shore excursions are suitable for guests with impaired mobility. Silversea strongly recommends wheelchair guests travel with someone who is able to assist them both ashore and at sea as Silversea may be unable to offer special assistance. Please note that wheel-on and/or wheel-off access may not be available at some ports-of-call. Silversea reserves the right to deny boarding to any guest who failed to notify Silversea of such requirement at the time of booking.

Silversea welcomes guests with mobility needs and offers various accessibility features onboard. However, due to the nature of cruising, some destinations and excursions may present challenges. Below is a guide to help guests plan their journey.

BEFORE BOOKING

Do guests need to notify Silversea in advance about mobility needs?

Yes, guests should inform Silversea of any special assistance or mobility equipment requirements before sailing. This can be done via My Silversea under Guest Information / Special Request, or by contacting specialservices@silversea.com.

Does Silversea provide wheelchairs?

Yes, each vessel has wheelchairs available at the reception for temporary use, such as embarkation and disembarkation. Guests who require a wheelchair for the entire cruise should bring their own.

Can guests bring their own mobility equipment?

Yes, personal wheelchairs, scooters, and other mobility aids are allowed. However, guests staying in standard (non-ADA) suites should note that electric scooters may not fit through the doors.

Therefore, guests traveling with a wheelchair, scooter, or ECV are always highly suggested to book a wheelchair-accessible suite with a wider entrance door and an appropriate path of travel inside the room and accommodate the equipment. Regular Suites have a narrower entrance door and may not have the necessary interior space to accommodate wheelchairs and scooters.

What features do wheelchair-accessible suites offer?

Silversea ships offer specially designed suites for guests who require mobility assistance. These suites are equipped with wider entrance doors and appropriate paths of travel to accommodate wheelchairs, scooters, and other mobility equipment. All areas within these suites are reachable without the need for additional ramps, except for Silver Suites onboard Silver Moon and Silver Dawn and Classic Veranda onboard Silver Endeavour. In these suites Silversea offer ramp to go outside the balcony. The vessels also have wheelchairs available at the reception for guest use.

Where to find the information regarding the disabled access suites?

This information is visible under the Suite tab by suite category.

Also, can be found on the deck plan after clicking on the “View Deck Plan” tab on the ship page. The disabled access suites are indicated with the universal accessibility icon.

EMBARKATION & DISEMBARKATION

How do guests get on and off the ship with mobility equipment?

Silversea vessels have procedures in place to assist guests with mobility equipment during embarkation and disembarkation. When the gangway is flat, guests can drive their wheelchair off the ship. However, if the gangway involves stairs, our staff will provide assistance. The Safety Officer or Bridge must be informed whenever a wheelchair is involved in disembarkation or boarding, and our crew members are available to assist guests in need.

Is assistance available for boarding?

Yes, but guests who require full-time assistance should travel with a companion, as Silversea does not provide dedicated personal caregivers. Butlers can assist with getting to the gangway or dining venues but do not provide continuous mobility assistance.

ONBOARD

Silversea’s ships are designed for accessibility, featuring:

• Wide gangways to accommodate most wheelchairs and scooters
• Accessible public restrooms
• Wheelchair seating in dining venues, bars, and the Venetian Lounge
• Braille/tactile signage for visually impaired guests in elevators, stateroom numbers, and staircases

How does Silversea assist disabled guests in their suites?

Silversea butler can provide reasonable assistance to guest getting to and from the gangway, and to and from a restaurant, however Silversea does not offer full-time wheelchair service and/or staff fully dedicated to providing Guests with wheelchair assistance. Guests traveling on their own wheelchair should be assisted only when requested and are recommended to travel with an able bodily companion.

GOING ASHORE

Are all ports wheelchair accessible?

Not all ports have wheelchair-friendly infrastructure. In some destinations, tender boats or on Silversea Expeditions Zodiacs are required for disembarkation, and wheelchairs or mobility scooters cannot be accommodated in these cases.

Can guests arrange private accessible transportation in port?

If available, private wheelchair-accessible vehicles can be arranged. In some ports, shuttle buses may be wheelchair accessible, but availability is not guaranteed.

Does Silversea offer wheelchair-accessible shore excursions?

Until now we have been offering dedicated “Wheelchair Accessible Excursions” in some areas of the world., These tours are operated by wheelchair accessible vehicles and include only wheelchair accessible venues. These tours are mainly offered in Europe and the US. If you have any questions or concerns regarding shore excursion suitability, please contact the Shore Concierge (shoreconcierge@silversea.com) before your voyage or visit the Shore Concierge desk for more detailed information once onboard.

Wheelchair accessible shore excursions are indicated on the website with the universal accessibility icon.

Are there alternatives for guests with limited mobility?

In almost every port, Silversea offers low-activity excursions specially designed for mobility challenged guests, who can negotiate the steps on and off the coaches.

Is there any destination that is not recommend to guests with disabilities?

The more exotic destinations, like Asia, South Africa and South America it is recommended to guest to book a private vehicle due to the lack of infrastructure, for example wheelchair accessible vehicles are very rare to find and museums, restaurants and popular attractions are not often completely accessible.

Does Silversea offer wheelchair-accessible transportation between the ship and visiting site?

If available in the port yes, however this is not often available.

How Silversea assist disabled guests during excursions?

If wheelchair accessible excursions are not available, it is recommended to guests to book a private vehicle where they can have a dedicated guide and driver who can give them full attention. On regular shore excursions, the guide must look after all guests and may not be able to fully assist disabled guests.

Alla Silverseas fartyg är utrustade för att erbjuda trådlös (Wi-Fi) internetuppkoppling. Du kan använda din egen laptop för att surfa på internet och läsa e-post på Wi-Fi-platser runt ombord på fartyget, eller från komforten och privatlivet i din svit. Datorer, e-post och internetåtkomst finns också tillgängliga ombord på Internet Café. Det är dock viktigt att förstå att telekommunikationstjänster till sjöss sker via satellit och skiljer sig avsevärt från högkapacitetsuppkopplingar på land. Signalen färdas på liknande sätt som radiovågor men över mycket större avstånd. Därför kan inte internetuppkoppling ombord garanteras hela tiden. Satellitkommunikation påverkas även av väderförhållanden och fartygets position. Speciellt är internetservice mycket sporadisk i Arktis. Gäster på expeditionskryssningar till/från Svalbard bör vara beredda på att vara utan kommunikation under hela sin tid ombord.

Mobiltelefontjänst ombord gör det möjligt att ringa och ta emot samtal, skicka textmeddelanden och använda vissa datafunktioner på din mobiltelefon även när du befinner dig långt från land. Din mobiloperatör kommer att debitera dig för samtal och/eller meddelanden, vilket kan framstå som roamingavgifter. Observera att mobiltelefontjänsten är sporadisk i bästa fall i Arktis. Gäster på resor till/från Svalbard bör vara förberedda på att vara utan kommunikation under hela sin tid ombord. Klicka här för mer information om Silverseas mobiltelefontjänst.

Kommer mina enheter att fungera ombord?
Lär dig hur du slår PÅ och AV både Wi-Fi och nätverksanslutningar (mobil/cell) på varje enhet.

• Kontakta din mobiloperatör för att bekräfta att ett roamingavtal med Silversea Cruises har upprättats och fråga om priser. Lär dig hur du aktiverar internationell roaming.
• Skapa ett e-postkonto om du inte redan har ett.
• Se till att du känner till användarnamn och lösenord som kan behövas.
• Ställ in dina inställningar på det mest grundläggande alternativet som visar mindre grafik och laddar snabbare.
• Gör eventuella programuppdateringar och stäng av automatiska uppdateringar under hela kryssningen.
• Ladda ner böcker, ljudböcker, musik, filmer, spel, appar med mera som du kan vilja ha under kryssningen.
• Facebook-användare bör bokmärka och planera att använda M.Facebook.com eller Touch.Facebook.com istället, eftersom dessa har mindre grafik och laddar snabbare.
• Glöm inte att packa med strömkablar/batteripaket, kamerakablar för att överföra bilder, adapterkablar och hörlurar som du kan behöva till dina enheter.

Kommer jag att kunna ladda ner videor och streama musik?

Vissa webbplatser och tjänster kan vara begränsade på grund av begränsad bandbredd. Nedladdning av videor, böcker och filmer eller användning av Skype är exempel på bandbreddskrävande tjänster som kan bli mer frustrerande än njutbara och bör undvikas. Planera att använda internet endast för e-post och webbsurfning.

Hur kan någon kontakta mig ombord?

Vid en nödsituation hemma bör vänner och familj inte ringa din mobiltelefon. Shore-to-Ship-numret som anges i dina slutgiltiga kryssningsdokument är det bästa sättet att nå dig ombord. Klicka här för mer information om Dial A Ship-tjänsten, ett alternativ för att kontakta fartyg till sjöss, var som helst i världen.

How many formal nights are on my cruise, and what type of clothing is worn?

Find out what to pack. All the details are shown in the General Information section. For Silversea Expeditions guests, casual resort wear is appropriate at all times when on board, with the exception of two evenings when formal attire is required. For men, this means a jacket, tie optional.

Does Silversea offer tuxedo rental service?

No, however, the onboard boutique has a limited selection of formal wear attire for purchase.

Onboard Silver Nova we take care of everything, including the environment.

The ocean ecosystem is our home. It's also how we reach our stunning destinations. However, it's as fragile as it is vast/ With Silver Nova, we're introducing a new way of looking at sailing, at the environment, at the ocean itself. Thanks to her, state-of-the-art technologies, Silver Nova is one of the most sustainable cruise ships ever build: a true reflection of our deep commitment to the oceans, the environment and the communities we find at each of our splendid destinations.

Higher efficiency. Cleaner sailing.

Silver Nova was designed from her backbone to lower her environmental impact as much as possible, starting with the carbon footprint for her construction. Her hull was designed to increase dynamic efficiency and minimise fuel consumption. She also incorporates state-of-the-art technologies to reduce onboard waste, such as the newly-developed Micro Auto Gasification System (M.A.G.S.), resulting in lower incineration emissions, and a Waste Heat Recovery System which allows the ship to reuse waste heat (ie. from the absorption chillers) for even more energy efficiency. Furthermore, she's equipped with Shore Power, a feature that allows Silver Nova's main generators to be shut down and the ship plugged into the onshore energy supply where available, cutting emissions while in port.
