Voyages aboard Silver Explorer
Alex says
What most struck me about my time on Silver Explorer was the smiley staff - discreet, yet ever attentive - and just how dangerous an unlimited supply of champagne could be! With this level of comfort and service, the worst part of the voyage is having to get off at the end.
