Silversea Cruises is a luxury cruise line that operates four small, luxury, all-suite cruise ships. The line is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and is owned by the Lefebvre Family of Rome, Italy.
History
Silverseas was founded in April 1994, with one ship. At the time, many doubted that a niche company like this could survive in a mass-market business area. Their first ship, Silver Cloud was follwed in January 1995 by a twin ship, the Silver Wind. In September 2000, the line launched Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper in January 2001. Both of these ships were enlarged versions of the original two ships, but carrying about 100 more passengers.

- Silver Cloud (1994)

Personalized Voyages
Silverseas recently introduced an option called Personalized Voyages, a cruise industry first. This allows passengers to choose their own embarkation and disembarkation ports, essently allowing them to create their own voyages. They can board days before or days after a cruise begins and do the same at the end of a cruise. The additional onboard time is charged on a daily rate that varies depending on the ports visited and the stateroom.
