Silver Seas Cruises in Canada

For travelers seeking a Canadian cruise experience, Silversea Cruises has five routes available on the schedule into 2012.



Silversea Cruises is a cruise line that seeks to provide an "intimate" experience for its customers. The high space-per-guest ratio on each of the six ships in the fleet means it is a breeze have time to yourself.



The ships range in size from the Prince Albert, a ship for only 132 passengers, and the Silver Whisper, which accommodates up to 540 guests. Silversea's other four ships hold around 300 passengers per voyage.
  1. Reykjavik, Iceland, to Toronto, Canada

    • From Reykjavik, the Prince Albert II passes fjords in Greenland and the Prince Christian Sound on its westward route to Canada. En route to Toronto, the ship will cruise past the Magdalen and Bonaventure Islands and Gros Morne National Park, with daylong shore excursions in Quebec City and Montreal.

      All trips on the Prince Albert II include optional Silversea Expeditions, exclusive overnight land experiences organized by the Expedition Team, comprised of an anthropologist, biologist, geologist and ecotourism specialist. Past expeditions have trekked the Arctic Circle for polar bear sightings and visited ancient Viking ruins.

    Toronto, Canada, to Hamilton, Bermuda

    • After a trip along the Iceland-to-Canada route, Silversea's Prince Albert II returns to the Atlantic from its stop in Toronto. Passing through urban centers Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City as well as smaller destinations such as Anicosti Island and Bonaventure Island, this 15-day journey spends all but three days in Canada.

    Vancouver, Canada, to Seward, Alaska

    Montreal, Canada, to New York City

In New Brunswick, you can go whale watching or discover the Bay of Fundy on a research vessel. For the real thrill seekers, Silversea offers heli-fishing by private helicopter. Hiking enthusiasts shouldn't miss the ocean trail hike and Acadia National Park in Maine or the cliff walk in Newport, Rhode Island.
