What she's like
Quiet and personal. Small enough for little harbours big ships can't use. About 93 tons of ship per guest. As a rule of thumb, 40 or more feels roomy and under 30 feels busy.
English (shore tours in English; some 'Guided In' tours in other languages, mostly Spanish). Nationality mix not published.
Our judgment, from $ (budget) to $$$$$ (ultra-luxury).
Suite with butler, all meals and 24-hour dining, select wines, champagnes and spirits, soft drinks, onboard gratuities (except spa), unlimited standard Wi-Fi (1 device; premium Wi-Fi in upper suites). Shore excursions included only on 'Door-to-Door'/specific fares. Tour-guide tips not included.
Infants 6 months+ (5+ on expedition ships and Silver Cloud, Silver Wind, Silver Origin, Silver Endeavour). No kids' programs or childcare. Under-18s must be with an adult 21+. Drinking age 18 on Europe sailings.
Elegant Casual from 6pm every night. 7 days or fewer: all Elegant Casual. 8-14 days: one or two Formal Optional nights. 15+ days: two or more Formal Optional nights.
