Silversea, the leading luxury and expedition cruise brand, has redefined the meaning of travel flexibility by unveiling three new fare options that allow guests to tailor their journeys with more personal choice and peace of mind. Starting 11 September 2025, cruisers can customise their entire experience – from flights and hotels to shore excursions and land tours – all while continuing to enjoy Silversea’s renowned all-inclusive ocean-going service.
Greater Flexibility at Sea and Beyond
Silversea’s new fare structure introduces:
- All-Inclusive Plus Fare – Offering the best value with refundable deposits, a Fare Guarantee Program, and shore excursion credits adaptable to voyage length and region. Expedition voyages maintain their full suite of included experiences, such as Zodiac tours and expert lectures.
- All-Inclusive Fare – Available on ocean cruises, this fare requires a non-refundable deposit and lets guests purchase shore excursions separately, before the cruise or onboard.
- Last-Minute Fare – For those booking within five months of departure, this budget-friendly option requires full payment upfront with non-refundable deposits.
Guests can seamlessly add flights, pre- and post-cruise hotels, transfers and land experiences across all fare types, creating truly bespoke journeys.
Enhancing the Shore Excursion Experience
Alongside fare updates, Silversea has expanded its shore excursion portfolio, offering a broader range of immersive experiences designed to deepen cultural connections and lasting memories:
- Highlight Experiences: Iconic, seamless tours of famous sights
- Signature Experiences: Small-group tours meticulously crafted by Silversea
- Private Experiences: Exclusive tours for groups of guests
- Custom Experiences: Tailor-made journeys to fit personal preferences
- Overland Experiences: Two- or three-day inland tours mid-cruise on select voyages
Guests can now choose from an enriched menu of adventures that match their interests and pace, ensuring every shore day becomes a meaningful exploration.

Introducing City Stays by Silversea
Further elevating the travel experience, Silversea offers City Stays, an innovative pre- and post-cruise programme featuring luxury hotel stays in iconic cities like Copenhagen, Rome, Barcelona, and Athens. These stays provide guests with local immersion, personalised service, curated dining, historical tours, and genuine cultural encounters, creating a seamless transition between land and sea.
A Commitment to Personalised Luxury
Bert Hernandez, President of Silversea, summarises the initiative perfectly: “The Luxury of Choice reflects our deep commitment to delivering on the feedback of our guests. We’re empowering them to personalise every aspect of their journey while continuing to enjoy one of the most comprehensive all-inclusive onboard experiences at sea.”
Whether guests prefer flexibility with refundable deposits, tailored shore experiences, or last-minute savings, Silversea ensures their voyage is as unique as they are, combining world-class luxury with unmatched freedom.
