About Silver Moon

Silver Moon is a Silversea Cruises cruise ship of the Muse class, in service since 2021. She measures 40,700 gross tons and carries 596 guests with a crew of 411. She sails Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Alaska itineraries. We rate her 4.3 out of 5.

Silver Moon, the second Muse-class ship, was built by Fincantieri and delivered in 2020, but the pandemic held back her first cruise until 18 June 2021, when she sailed from Piraeus and launched Silversea's S.A.L.T. culinary program. Like her sisters she carries 596 guests, with 411 crew. In 2026-27 she sails Australia and New Zealand in the southern summer, Asia from Tokyo in spring and autumn, and Alaska between Vancouver and Seward in the northern summer.

Cabins to avoid & quieter candidates

  • Deck 7 where suites also overlap on Decks 6 and 8

    Start with forward-to-mid Deck 7 suites

    Compare a suite with accommodation immediately above and below, away from lifts, stairs, connecting doors, laundrettes and public-venue entrances. Check the aft public areas separately.

    Why we flag this

    The ship-specific plan shows accommodation on all three decks, with public or technical areas in some sections. This is a conditional layout shortlist, not measured sound data. Check the source plan.

  • Deck 9 below occupied Deck 10 public areas

    Check Deck 9 beneath the pool deck

    Align the exact suite with pool, whirlpool, bar, outdoor seating and dining footprints above. Ask about hours and early furniture setup where the areas overlap.

    Why we flag this

    The operator artwork places pool and public spaces on the deck above portions of these suites. Some areas contain suites or technical spaces instead, so the flag does not cover every room equally. Check the source plan.

  • Deck 6 and adjacent public facilities

    Check Deck 6 near public and service spaces

    Match the exact suite to public dining, entertainment, wellness or service footprints beside and below it. Ask about the nearest venue and corridor separation before booking.

    Why we flag this

    The ship-specific diagram mixes accommodation with public or service spaces in this part of the ship. This is an inferred adjacency caution, not a verified noise complaint. Check the source plan.

Location-based guidance, not measured noise or a guarantee of quiet. Flags identify areas to investigate, not every cabin on a deck.
