Built on seven hills, Lisbon blends a southern European sense of life with a great history of discovery. From the Tower of Belém, Vasco da Gama and other navigators set out into the unknown - yellow trams and the melancholic Fado still tell the tale today.

Silver Shadow
Silver Shadow embodies the classic Silversea style: 194 suites, 382 guests, butler service as standard. A ship that proves true luxury does not depend on size but on the ratio of crew to guests.
In the Mediterranean, Silver Shadow reaches ports closed to the larger ships of the fleet - a strength that counts particularly on Mediterranean routes.
