A luxurious cruise means many things to many people but we feel that Silversea’s small ship cruises personify the true meaning of comfort. Our intimate, more ultra-luxury ships can sail up narrow waterways into the heart of a city, or tie up right at the pier while others must anchor off shore. And for those who yearn to explore the new and unknown, Silversea’s expedition ships can transport you to the furthermost boundaries of the planet.

Enjoy free-flowing premium wines and spirits, delicious gourmet cuisine, in-suite dining, full butler service for every suite and of course all gratuities. Whether you long to mingle in the Mediterranean, swim with the turtles of the Galapagos or embrace the glaciers of Alaska, there is something special about knowing that this cruising is all inclusive.

13 Nights to Fiji on Discovery Princess   Fiji , NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
We sailed from Sydney early in January 2026, bound for Fiji which we had not sailed to before, nor had we sailed upon the Discovery Princess. As with the Royal Princess, the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful in any situation. The food on board was fabulous, particularly in the main dining rooms. As always the upper deck (bistro) eatery read more was always busy, but the variety of food was amazing. I was surprised to find more entertainment options around the ship and we were lucky enough to have had an Irish Duo singing in the Irish Pub. Rory and Roisin were fantasic. We sailed into Suva and Lautoka and did a self guided walk around these towns. Our third stop at Denarau Island was cancelled due to berthing issues at this location, but this was quickly changed to Mystery Island (Inyeug Island) which is part of Vanuatu. This was a gorgeous stop and was a great alternative. The island is only 1.5km long by 200m wide, so was fairly busy with a few thousand tourist lobbing there. Back on the ship for the trip home, I found the Retreat (over 18's only), which had a nice - if shallow plunge pool. Overall, a very enjoyable trip, made even better with meeting great people. Cheers
Anthem of the Seas in the South Pacific   South Pacific Cruise , VIC, Australia, Nov 2025
Our cruise on the Anthem of the Seas was awesome: service, dining, cabin , bars, friendly staff it was 5 stars all the way. Will probably do another cruise with Royal Caribbean again. We loved it! Rachael was friendly , very professional and helpful, would not hesitate to deal with Rachael again for our next adventure. The ship was magnificent.
South Pacific Discovery South Pacific Discovery , WA, Australia, Nov 2025
Hannah Campbell handled our enquiries very well as always. We are delighted that we are able to communicate with her whenever we need answers. We joined this trip with friends who were marking a significant date in their lives. Sadly one of them got very ill throughout and fortunately made it back to a hospital in his home town. As usual the ship was read more magnificent but the visits to Solomon Islands and Vanuatu islands were very much the same and the journey back from Fiji to Perth via plane changes in Sydney made it an exhausting end covering from 5am Friday Perth time to 02.am Perth time on Saturday. We would not contemplate a cruise of that nature again. However we will be looking forward to the other trips which we have arranged for the next year or so. The overall rating below relates only to the time at sea, the quality of the visits and the travel time to get home.
Fabulous Cruise Fiji & New Zealand , VIC, Australia, May 2025
We travelled on the Crown Princess to the Pacific Islands and New Zealand in May 2025. We booked it through Global Journeys as we have done on a few occasions. Georgie was our agent again and as usual she was so helpful and efficient. The vibe on the ship was great. All the passengers were really friendly and the crew were fantastic, in fact I would read more have to say it would have to be the best crew we have encountered in a long time. They were really friendly, helpful and a lot of them had a great sense of humour. We have travelled on quite a few Princess ships and they have always been great. Would highly recommend Princess Cruises and Global Journeys.
