Detailed answer
Silver Spirit was built by Fincantieri at Ancona in Italy and made its maiden voyage from Barcelona to Lisbon on Wednesday 23 December 2009. In 2018 Fincantieri cut the ship in two at its Palermo yard and added a new 15-metre midsection, taking the length to about 211 metres and the gross tonnage from about 36,000 to 39,519. Silversea now gives 636 guests and a crew of 415. The port listing expects about 540 passengers, the ship's capacity before it was lengthened. Dining includes S.A.L.T. Kitchen, the Seishin Japanese restaurant, La Dame, Atlantide, La Terrazza and Spaccanapoli pizzeria. Silversea lists a further refurbishment in 2026, and CruiseMapper reports a Palermo dry dock from March to May 2026 that refreshed public areas and added new suites. Silversea fares include drinks and gratuities.
How busy will town be?
The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.
Can you sail on it from nearby?
Yes, from Barcelona or Lisbon. The call on Friday 30 April 2027 falls during a 12-night Spain and Morocco voyage from Barcelona that leaves on Friday 23 April 2027 and ends in Lisbon on Wednesday 5 May 2027. It calls at Palamos, Alcudia, Valencia, Cartagena, Malaga with an overnight stay, Gibraltar, Casablanca, Tangier and Cadiz. A 28-night version continues from Lisbon along the Atlantic coast to Bordeaux, Amsterdam and Copenhagen, arriving on Friday 21 May 2027. The ship reaches Barcelona on a ten-night voyage from Lisbon that leaves on Tuesday 13 April 2027 and also calls at Malaga and Cadiz.
