with a cruise advisor

Silver Shadow is slightly larger than the older Silversea ships, but not as big as the  Silver Spirit . Last refurbished in 2019 (and debuted in 2000), the 392-passenger ship maintains a nearly 1-to-1 staff-to-guest ratio, with 302 crew members. For past cruisers, it was the friendly crew's attention to detail that helped set Silver Shadow apart from its competitors.

Recent passengers praise the all-suite accommodations, which range from the Vista Suite (287 square feet) to the two-bedroom Grand Suite (1,435 square feet). All cabins offer ocean views and more than 80% include private balconies. Standard amenities include butler service, minifridges and full baths with separate showers.

When guests aren't in their rooms, they can utilize the ship's facilities, which include shopping boutiques, a casino, a beauty salon and an expansive pool deck. The ship also offers four dining venues, including La Dame, a specialty French restaurant with an additional reservation fee. As for nighttime entertainment, passengers have their pick between several cocktail lounges and the ship's performance venue.

Silver Shadow sails throughout North America, South America, Australia, Asia and more. It also completes some transoceanic voyages.

Silversea’s Silver Shadow

At first glance, Silversea’s Silver Shadow brings a European beach holiday to mind, with warm woods gracing the deck, highlighted with crisp whites throughout the ship and sparkling blue water in the onboard pool. However, unlike a trip to the French Riviera, this exclusive all-suite vessel features fewer people (388 guests to be exact), yet plenty of places to explore and indulge in excellent food and drink while taking in the natural beauty of the sea.

The ship leaves from a handful of ports, including the United Kingdom, Iceland, Canada, Japan, Barbados, Australia and the United States. The length of trip depends on the destinations, with voyages lasting up to 40 days from Sydney to Hong Kong, or the world tour cruise, which runs 132 days from San Francisco to Australia to Asia and back again. When not at sea, expect a gambit of shore experiences, like ziplining in the rainforest, riding horses on beaches and visiting local villages.

From relaxing on the refined pool deck and lounge chairs to having a cocktail in the modern Arts Cafe to indulging in a treatment at the Zagara Beauty Spa, you’ll find much to enjoy aboard this luxury liner.

• One of the top accommodations onboard, the Owner's Suite features one or two bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms (complete with a bathtub), a living room, a dining area and a veranda overlooking the water. The equally elegant Royal and Grand suites come with the same options, but their location at the ship’s bow lends the bedroom a pleasing curve. But even if you don’t snag one of these top-tier choices, rest assured you will have spacious accommodations on the all-suite ship.
• With only 388 guests on board for each voyage and 300 staff members, this vessel boasts both a high crew-to-guest and space-to-guest ratio at sea. As an added perk, every passenger receives butler service.
• Silver Shadow’s pool temperature changes in accordance with the weather — on warmer days, the pool offers a refreshing respite, and on cooler days, the water is heated. For extra warmth, take a dip in the bubbling whirlpool, and when you emerge, you’ll find a fluffy towel awaits.
• Like the ship itself, Zagara Beauty Spa exudes nautical elegance. Add another chance for onboard relaxation with treatments like customizable facials, massages and body wraps. The spa also is outfitted with men’s and women’s saunas and steam rooms for use before or after a treatment.
• Find well-executed Italian fare at La Terrazza, where the buffalo mozzarella hails from Naples, organic balsamic vinegar and olive oil come from Umbria, the cured ham is sourced out of Parma and all the pasta is made daily, right on board. Come by any time for breakfast or lunch, but make sure to secure a reservation for dinner.
• Sip on fine wines and French cuisine in the gold-tinged La Dame, one of the restaurants on the ship. Expect white-glove service amid handmade crystal Lalique panels and elevated plates of classic French food. To dine here, make sure to secure a reservation in advance.
• For the best view, look for a table by the window in The Restaurant, the ship’s primary dining area. Of course, any table provides the opportunity to enjoy the ship’s contemporary, international cuisine and the company of fellow travelers, thanks to the ship’s unique open seating plan.
• Visit the card room for onboard games and tournaments or try your luck at the casino with a bit of roulette, blackjack and slot machines. Novices can go to a champagne reception at the start of the journey to learn all about the games offered.
• Dine alfresco at The Grill, a casual spot on the ship to cook your meat atop a volcanic rock grill. This aspect of the restaurant is only available for dinner, but during the day you can enjoy The Grill’s salad bar and excellent burger.
• For a glass of fine cognac and a cigar, head to the Connoisseur's Corner and experience the best of the seven seas. Choose from a cozy leather chair inside the ship or a cool wicker chair on the patio, overlooking the water.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
