No, Silversea Cruises is not an adults‑only cruise line, but it is strongly adult‑oriented in atmosphere, service style and onboard programming. While children are permitted on Silversea voyages, the line maintains strict age policies, offers no dedicated kids’ clubs or childcare, and generally caters to travellers seeking a refined, quiet and sophisticated experience.
Silversea’s dress code reflects the line’s elegant, sophisticated atmosphere while offering modern flexibility. During the day, attire is resort‑casual, similar to what you’d wear at a five‑star resort: relaxed but refined clothing such as sundresses, tailored shorts, polos, blouses and breathable fabrics suited to the climate. Silversea recommends flat or low‑heeled footwear for daytime deck activities.
As evening falls, the dress code becomes more elevated. From 6pm onwards, indoor spaces will require either elegant casual or formal optional attire, depending on the night. On casual evenings, trousers, blouses, skirts or dresses are most appropriate for ladies, while gentlemen may wear an open-collar shirt and dress pants. Jackets are optional on casual evenings, except at La Dame restaurants.
On formal optional nights, ladies seeking a more glamorous evening may wear evening gowns or cocktail dresses, while gentlemen may wear a tuxedo, dinner jacker or dark suit and tie. Elegant casual dress is also welcomed on formal optional nights, although gentlemen are required to wear a jacket in all indoor spaces.
To maintain a sophisticated onboard ambiance, jeans, shorts, trainers and thongs are not permitted indoors after 6pm. The number of formal evenings varies by itinerary: expedition cruises and sailings up to seven nights feature only elegant casual, while voyages of 8–14 nights typically include one or two formal optional nights.
