Celebrity Silhouette is a medium-sized ocean resort ship operated by Celebrity Cruises, which launched in 2011 and was last refitted in 2026. It has capacity for 2,902 guests across 1,451 cabins with 1,285 crew members on hand to help.
Expect a ship of a manageable size, that delivers space and facilities without feeling crowded. Families with children can sail on board Celebrity Silhouette.
Guests can choose from 12 restaurants and eating venues, including four complimentary venues and eight available at an extra cost. There are also 12 bars and lounges across the ship.
Celebrity Silhouette has 21 accommodation options to choose from. 52% have windows or balconies offering views of the scenery beyond and 33% are suites, meaning if you're dreaming of sailing away while taking in the sunset or indulging in a more spacious sanctuary at sea, you're in the right place.
We loved our family cruise to Alaska from Vancouver , it was a week long , & we saw such amazing places & wildlife , the food was good , & the entertainment good
The cruise made very relaxing for us by the crews attention to helping us from moment of boarding to our departure. Great facilities on board catering for older people to children. Entertainment was lovely and very varied. Food excellent and dining experience was exceptional made all the more enjoyable by excellent staff.
There was a lovely friendly atmosphere on board the ship with other passengers and crew alike . crew could not do enough for you. plenty to do onboard dining, swimming , hot tubs and games . library for a quiet time or spa time, also a theatre and casino , shops for a wander round and if feeling healthy wonderful gym to go to , food was amazing , there was quiz nights karaoke and loads more to do if you want , and id just as easy to have a lovely quiet time as well . all my cruises have been on Celebrity. bit know family and friends on other cruses and they are the best holidays. you wake up in a new place almost every day and see so much of the world and the differences in places
We had such a good time me & my Wife that we didn't want the holiday to end .The crew on the celebrity silhouette couldn't do enough for you ,pool party was great ,food as normal excellent and the ship was spotlessly clean 10/10
Its been a year since we cruised with Celebrity, and two years since we sailed on the Silhouette.
So we were looking forward to this 8-night northern Spain and France cruise. The embarkation process was smooth, speedy and hassle-free - we were on board within minutes of arriving at the terminal. However, being reunited with our luggage wasn't without problems. Having waited several hours for our bags they then arrived two hours apart from each other.
For this cruise, we had a sunset veranda cabin as we really liked the views from the back. It seemed smaller than we had remembered but it was perfectly serviceable- with a comfortable bed. There was just about enough storage space and a small bathroom with a shower. There was a large TV with limited channels but it did have Sky sports news and Sport 24 for the football so all was good.
There were many bars and lounges. We found the Ensemble Lounge to be very dark, the Martini Bar to be always crowded, so we spent a lot of time in the Sky Lounge which was bright and spacious - located on deck 14 forward. There is also the Passport Bar on Deck 3, the World Class Bar (which often appeared to be empty) on Deck 5, the Pool Bar on Deck 12, the Mast Bar on Deck 14 and the Sunset Bar on Deck 15.
We only spent a little time in Café Al Bacio on deck 5 due to its close proximity to the atrium both the noise levels from the entertainment in the foyer on deck 3 and the low lighting were off-putting.
There is the usual expensive Spa, a well-equipped and modern gym, and a solarium with an indoor pool and hot tubs.
On Deck 15/16forward is The Retreat an outdoor area for suite guests. There is also a private Lounge for suite guests on deck 5.
We are Elite Plus on the Celebrity Loyalty programme and attended the majority of the events which were laid on. Our favourite which was new to us was a Music and Mixology event which was great fun. There was also a Senior Officers Cocktail Party, a welcome event, wine tasting and a Backstage Tour.
Other benefits of being Elite Plus include some free laundry, discounts on the Internet, drinks packages and speciality dining.
With regard to food, there is a main dining room the Grand Cuvee on two levels and you can either opt for anytime dining or early or late sitting. There is also the Oceanview Café the buffet on Deck 14 where some choice of food is available from 6 am till 1 am.
There are numerous speciality restaurants available for an extra charge - Tuscan Grille, Murano, Le Petit Chef, Sushi on Five, The Porch and The Lawn Club and for what it's worth we find them expensive compared to other cruise lines.
We didn't eat in the main restaurant very often as although it was easy to get a table, service was slow between courses, and the food wasn't always hot by the time it reached you. Quality was fine there just wasn't enough variety generally in the MDR or the buffet.
There was a varied choice of lounge entertainment - acoustic, jazz, party, classical. Celebrity seems to have moved away from entertainment in the Sky Lounge with the exception of quizzes - great to be entertained at a number of these by the charismatic former Captains Club Host David Perrien.
There were a number of guest entertainers during the week including the talented Jo Little, and The Barricade Boys as well as the usual production shows.
We didn't book any shore excursions as we found them to be very expensive compared to other lines we cruise with.
In summary, it's fair to say we fell a little bit back in love with Celebrity. We had an enjoyable cruise and actually booked two more cruises while on board. This was partly due to being made to feel more valued, something we hadn't felt in recent times with Celebrity. Max - the Guest Relations Manager and Tania - the Captain's Club Host were absolutely brilliant. We are very well aware that Silhouette in the scheme of things isn't a large ship these days, but it is to us, and its certainly the largest ship we would be happy to travel on moving forward - we are definitely small ship cruisers at heart.
If you are new to Celebrity we believe you will absolutely love them, but if you have travelled with them more frequently you will certainly notice a decline in standards and a rise in prices. That said we will continue to travel with them just not exclusively as in the past.
Beautiful ship very well maintained. On the whole great staff who seem really happy to be there. Great service. Food excellent.
Slight negatives.. shore excursions & the spa exorbitant prices so no one used them from our group. Onboard shops also very expensive.
Entertainment in the main poor for a 5 star ship very amateurish, and a small thing if you have mobility issues, no where to sit in the decks to get the sun as all are very low Sun loungers, very close together.
That said it was still a wonderful cruise which we enjoyed very much, and if this ship had been sailing from Uk next year would have re booked immediately , however celebrity are bringing in the massive ships next year so not for us unfortunately, so Im now reading all the other reviews to find a new line.
Our first cruise ever for my husbands 70th birthday. It was an amazing experience. Probably different to expectations but a brilliant experience all the same. We met some lovely people and the staff worked so hard and smiled constantly.
The weather wasnt too friendly, but it didnt put us off and weve booked another cruise later this year. Cant wait. Xxx
