Review summary

I am now spoiled. This cruise was everything we wanted and more.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We were not interested in mainstream shipboard activities so this was perfect. Trivia and lectures were very good and honestly all we needed.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Silversea does the minimum and the talent was good enough for some enjoyable evenings. That was enough!

Children's Programs

No kids with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Here is where Silversea excels. All onboard staff had the line between filling every need without being intrusive or overly formal, down pat. Everyone was personable, matched each guests level of expected casualness. Just wonderful people seeming enjoying what they do. I will miss a lot of the crew, thank them so much for all their help and work, and wish them the best on their future adventures!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I could not imagine a more perfect ship than the Silver Dawn. The suites, decor, amenities, and art is just my style.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were upgraded to a superior veranda from a panorama. Location was perfectly accessible to everything. Very little ship motion, quiet and private. Suites have everything laid out efficiently for two to share the space. I was sailing with my mother, so we had the two single bed arrangement and we each had separate space for all our things.

Ship tip

6th floor is the perfect location for everything.

Ports of call

Copenhagen, Denmark

Stavanger, Norway

5 out of 5
Included tour was excellent, giving us history and a taste of the city.

Alesund, Norway

4 out of 5

Trondheim, Norway

5 out of 5
Our favorite by far. Highly recommend the river kayak…you see everything from a new perspective.

Geiranger, Norway

5 out of 5
The included tours cover a lot of vertical ground!

Flaam, Norway

3 out of 5
The railway seems to be the only big highlight.

Bergen, Norway

Skagen, Denmark

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
It was quite crowded and a bit disorganized. The busses were late and we hauled our luggage more than we should have…
