Silver Shadow's published core onboard inclusions cover butler service in every suite, dining and 24-hour in-suite dining, selected champagne, wines and spirits, coffee and tea, enrichment and entertainment, Wi-Fi at the applicable suite tier, onboard gratuities, and port taxes and fees. Because Silver Shadow operates Classic voyages, the shore benefit for the February 27-March 17 2028 Rio de Janeiro to Cape Town depends on the selected fare and final booking. Optional air, transfers and hotels are included only when stated in the booking. Premium beverages, spa and salon treatments, selected classes or dining, Wi-Fi upgrades, laundry unless attached to the category or voyage, telephone service, medical care and insurance, and personal purchases can cost extra. The exact fare and booking confirmation control.

What bed is provided for a child or third guest on Silver Shadow Voyage SS280227019?

For the February 27-March 17 2028 Rio de Janeiro to Cape Town, Silver Shadow's Silver Suite uses a convertible sofa for an additional guest.

Upper-suite primary beds are twin or king, while adjoining bedrooms use twin or queen beds. Deluxe Cruises will confirm the exact suite number, occupancy, sleeping arrangement and child eligibility before booking; no rollaway, Pullman or sofa bed is assumed unless the ship's current deck plan identifies it.

Are shore excursions included on Silver Shadow Voyage SS280227019, and can Deluxe Cruises help with alternatives?

For the February 27-March 17 2028 Rio de Janeiro to Cape Town, Silversea's current Classic-voyage structure gives All-Inclusive Plus a voyage-dependent shore-excursion credit; All-Inclusive and Last-Minute fares do not include that credit, so no individual excursion is assumed included until the fare and tour selection are confirmed. The final program remains subject to availability, weather and operating conditions. If a preferred experience falls outside the included benefit, Deluxe Cruises can compare independent alternatives and check whether a lower price or better value is available than booking through the cruise line. Availability and savings vary and are confirmed before purchase.

  • Bring comfortable closed walking shoes for touring, plus a compact rain layer and any destination-specific health supplies recommended by your clinician.

Silversea dress guidance

  • For sailings on or after June 1, 2026, daytime dress is relaxed resort wear and indoor evening dress after 6:00 PM is Elegant Casual. Refined denim and dress sneakers are accepted; distressed denim, athletic shoes, shorts, hats and flip-flops are not appropriate in evening indoor spaces.

What services and amenities are available aboard Silver Shadow?
  • Published core onboard inclusions include butler service for every suite, dining, selected beverages, Wi-Fi, entertainment, fitness facilities and gratuities.
  • Air, transfers, hotels, shore excursions, expedition gear and other benefits depend on the selected fare, product and itinerary; verify the exact booking rather than describing them as fleetwide.

Venues, hours, inclusions, equipment, and operating conditions can vary by ship and sailing. Deluxe Cruises will reconfirm the details for this departure.

What fitness, sports, or wellness facilities does Silver Shadow have?
  • Current Silversea ships publish a fitness center, with equipment, classes and wellness facilities varying by ship. Sauna, steam and relaxation areas are associated with the onboard spa where fitted.
  • Private instruction, specialty classes, treatments, hours and participation rules can differ or carry an additional charge and should be reconfirmed.

Can children and babies sail aboard Silver Shadow?
  • The current published minimum is six months for most Classic voyages, one year for ocean crossings and five years for Expedition voyages. Zodiac and expedition activities can impose higher participation limits.
  • A guest under 18 must travel with a parent, legal guardian or responsible adult over 21 and meet the applicable berthing and consent-document rules.
  • Do not promise childcare, babysitting or children's programming; availability is not fleetwide and many expedition operations require an adult family member to remain with a child.
  • A guest who will enter the 24th week of pregnancy or later at any time during the voyage is not eligible to sail. The applicable booking conditions and any medical-certificate requirement should be confirmed before booking.

For Voyage SS280227019: do not assume a supervised program, babysitting, crib, or child-specific service unless it is confirmed for this sailing.

How does Silver Shadow handle special needs, medical arrangements, and accessibility?
  • Notify Silversea about mobility, communication, medical-equipment and accommodation needs when booking so available arrangements can be assessed.
  • Accessible suites are limited. Guests generally bring their own approved mobility device and a capable companion for personal care; gangways, tenders, Zodiacs, piers and excursions can prevent participation.
  • Expedition access is particularly conditional on weather, landing site, small-craft transfer and the expedition team's safety decision. Never promise a landing or shore activity as accessible.
  • Silversea ships carry medical facilities for acute illness and injury, but onboard care is limited and remote voyages can delay or prevent specialist care and evacuation.
  • Bring adequate medication and required equipment, disclose special needs, and expect medical consultation, treatment, medication and transport to be charged unless a contract states otherwise.

Important: access varies by accommodation, gangway, pier, tender, shore transport, and operating conditions. Document needs when requesting the booking and reconfirm them before travel.

What is the smoking policy aboard Silver Shadow?
  • Smoking and electronic cigarettes are prohibited in suites, private verandas and most indoor and public areas; use is limited to designated smoking locations.
  • Cigar and pipe use is further restricted to designated outdoor areas or a published cigar venue where available. Locations differ by ship and can change, so follow onboard signs.

Designated locations and onboard rules can change. Follow the policy, posted signs, and crew instructions in force for the voyage.
