We had three weeks on the Spirit which was over Christmas and New Year. Could not fault the service from the staff. The food was very good with plenty of choice.
There were a few problems with water egress on our deck but this was quickly dealt with. Christmas Day was lovely although no Christmas Dinner to speak of that was the evening before, but the brunch they put on was excellent.
The entertainment in the evening was a bit lack luster and the DJ I can only describe as being poor. All he did was put tracks on and disappeared.
The entertainment in the theatre was a bit hit and miss and felt they could have brought more acts on.
Some ports of call where closed because it was holiday season or a Sunday, but that didn't bother us.
Overall an excellent cruise with only a few minor issues would certainly recommend.
Excellent cruise from start to finish. Every member of staff treated me incredibly well and with compassion and humour as appropriate. I am partially disabled but I was treated with respect.
The food was superb and the head chef catered to my various intolerances and special requests with grace. Nothing was too much trouble. The excursions were all zodiac based and the gangway staff were fantastic helping me on and off the ship every day despite my laughter, screaming and even crying on one occasion. The expedition staff were phenomenal. My cabin lady was by far the best I have ever had and we are going to be life long friends. My butler was also very professional and very kind to me.
I would recommend Silverseas to anyone who can afford it!

Marvellous way to see both countries. Terrific local experiences. Lovely people.
Cruise ship exemplary in all standards of presentation.
Thoroughly enjoyed our first time with Seabourn
We always book the Owners suite so the level of accommodation is superb and once again didnt disappoint . The excursion in Bordeaux was overpriced and a big let down but overall another enjoyable cruise with Oceania.
Entertainment shows simply superb better than many six star cruise lines Ship is quite old but public spaces good with excellent theatre with good sight lines Food was quite good but not top notch catering for uk tastes and with a large contingent of Indian crew curry was very popular
