My First Cruise on Celebrity Silhouette

I recently had the opportunity to cruise on Celebrity Silhouette on a three night mini cruise from Southampton in the UK. As I had never cruised on Celebrity before this was a great way for me to experience what this cruise line had to offer without having to do a full week’s cruise. We flew from Dublin to Southampton direct on Fly Be and, on our arrival, our private transfer was waiting for us to take us to the cruise port. Once we arrived at the cruise port we checked in for our cruise and went through security after which we were free to go onboard and explore this amazing ship or go straight to our balcony cabin.

Our three-night cruise took us from Southampton to Paris back to Southampton with one night at sea. When we docked in Paris we had the opportunity to do some excursions with the cruise company, or you had the choice to relax on the ship. On the day we were at sea, we got to experience the many facilities available to us like the entertainment, the various classes and of course the shopping. We decided to also relax at the Spa by having a massage and afterwards chill out in the relaxation room surrounded by views of the sea.

At night there was so much to do from the exquisite food in all the restaurants to the amazing entertainment in the theatre and various bars, there was something for everyone. For any foodies or if you are celebrating a special event or wanted to treat yourself there are several speciality dining restaurants to explore from steakhouses to sushi to Italian there was something to whet every appetite.

You may ask why a mini cruise such as Celebrity Cruises? A mini cruise is an opportunity to find out several things. Firstly, if you have never cruised before, it allows you to get a taste for cruising and if that type of holiday is for you. Secondly, it allows you to try out a different type of holiday which you can cram in as much as possible into one holiday, all for one price. These are just a few reasons to try out a taster or mini cruise. I would recommend Celebrity Cruises for people travelling without children. While there are some facilities aboard Celebrity Cruises, it is more geared towards clientele looking for a calm and relaxed environment, trendy culinary experiences, swanky entertainment, and Apple-focused tech classes. Celebrity Cruises has ships all over the world with some amazing itineraries to explore.
