Ultra-Luxury Ocean & Expedition
Silversea Military & Veteran Discount
Silversea pairs butler service in every suite with an all-inclusive fare and a deep expedition fleet. Here is how military families and veterans can pay less for it.
Quick Answer
Silversea does not offer its own military or veteran discount. The Silversea military discount from Military Cruise Deals takes at least 5% off the cruise fare, applied to Silversea's lowest available price and stacked on top of Silversea's current promotions. Active duty, retirees, all veterans, military and veteran spouses, and the people traveling with them qualify.

How the Silversea military discount works
Silversea runs regular promotions, but it does not have a military fare. Military Cruise Deals fills that gap. We price your suite at Silversea's lowest available rate, keep whatever promotion Silversea is offering at the time, and then take at least 5% off the cruise fare on top.
The discount is on the cruise fare only, so taxes, port fees, and air are not reduced. On select sailings we can add onboard credit or other amenities. We are also members of several large travel consortia, which means many Silversea voyages come with additional perks layered on at no cost to you.
Who is eligible
You do not need to be currently serving. Anyone in the groups below qualifies, and so does everyone traveling with them.
- Active duty service members in any branch
- Military retirees and all veterans
- Military and veteran spouses, including surviving and divorced spouses
- Family and friends traveling with an eligible guest, even in separate suites
What Silversea includes
Silversea is an all-inclusive line, and its signature is butler service in every suite category, not just the top suites. The ships are small and spacious, so public areas rarely feel crowded.
Exact inclusions depend on the voyage and fare type, but guests can generally expect:
- Butler service in every suite
- Premium wines, spirits, and other beverages
- Dining across the ship's restaurants, with a focus on regional cuisine
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
- Gratuities
Ships and destinations
Silversea's newest ocean ships, Silver Nova and Silver Ray, are the line's most spacious to date and feature its destination-focused dining concept. The broader fleet sails the Caribbean, Europe and the Mediterranean, the Panama Canal, Asia, South America, and beyond.
Silversea is also one of the leading names in luxury expedition cruising, with ships built for Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galapagos, and other remote regions. Our military discount applies to expedition voyages too. Because expedition fares and inclusions differ from ocean cruises, we walk you through exactly what your sailing covers before you book.
Getting the most value from a Silversea cruise
Silversea sometimes offers more than one fare type on the same voyage, for example a cruise-only fare and a fare that bundles air, transfers, or hotel stays. The cheapest headline price is not always the best total value, especially for families flying in from a military installation or a smaller regional airport. We compare the options side by side and show you the real cost of each after our discount.
Popular expedition seasons and the newest ships tend to fill early, so booking well ahead usually gives you the best choice of suites. Because we keep watching your rate until final payment, booking early does not mean missing out on a later price drop.
