 Cruise Reviews

St, Petersburg
Reviewed By: ALEXANDER, London on 14th Jul 2008
Cruise Line: Silversea Times cruised before: 6-10
Cruise Ship: Silver Cloud Sailed: June, 2008
Destination: Baltic Age: 65+
Ship was comfortable and cabins are spacious but could do with some refurbishment. Service was superb and food excellent and varied. I would have liked more general lectures but appreciate that there are limitations on a small ship.

My only real criticism relates to the excursions which were very expensive and too short, although guides were very good. In St.Petersburg the ship docks 10 minutes walk from the Hermitage. Although I enquired direcly from Silversea I was not given this information and therefore did not obtain my own Russian visa, which to my mind is essential. Silversea seem to discourage independent arrangements.
