Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a Golf Cruise?

  A Golf Cruise combines a luxury cruise vacation with a fully managed golf program at outstanding courses along the itinerary. Guests enjoy the convenience of unpacking once while visiting multiple destinations and playing memorable golf venues during the voyage.

  On PerryGolf Cruises, all golf arrangements are managed by our team, including tee times, transportation, equipment logistics, and onsite support. The result is a seamless travel experience that balances exceptional golf, cultural exploration, and luxury cruising.

• Why choose a Golf Cruise instead of a traditional golf tour?

  A Golf Cruise allows guests to visit multiple destinations and play outstanding golf courses while unpacking only once. The ship serves as a luxury base throughout the journey, with accommodations, dining, entertainment, and onboard service available between ports.

  For many travelers, a Golf Cruise combines the best elements of a luxury cruise vacation and a world-class golf tour, creating a convenient and enjoyable way to experience several destinations in one seamless itinerary.

• What format does a PerryGolf with Silversea Golf Cruise follow?

  PerryGolf with Silversea Golf Cruises are designed as a fully managed golf travel experience. All golf-related arrangements and logistics are handled in advance and onsite by PerryGolf.

  While each itinerary varies, the golf program typically schedules golf on approximately half of the shore days, allowing guests to enjoy a balance of golf, sightseeing, and time onboard. Beyond golf, guests may explore independently or participate in Silversea shore excursion options, depending on the itinerary and fare arrangements.

  PerryGolf with Silversea Golf Cruises are designed to be as inclusive and seamless as possible.

  Onboard, the cruise fare generally includes suite accommodations, dining, beverages, Wi-Fi, onboard entertainment, and gratuities. Shore excursions, land experiences, air, hotels, and transfers may vary by itinerary and fare type, and should be confirmed for each specific departure.

  On golf days, the PerryGolf package includes green fees, cart fees or caddies where available, ground transportation, range balls where available, lunch during play, clubhouse refreshments, and golf-related gratuities. Caddie gratuities are not included.

• Does my spouse or companion have to play golf?

  No. Non-golfing spouses and companions are warmly welcomed on PerryGolf with Silversea Golf Cruises.

  While golfers are ashore playing, non-golfing guests may enjoy the ship, explore independently, or participate in Silversea shore excursion options, depending on the itinerary and fare arrangements. On non-golf days, golfers and non-golfers enjoy the cruise itinerary together, including time ashore, onboard dining, enrichment, and social events.

  The experience is designed to be rewarding for both golfers and non-golfing travelers.

• What is a typical Golf Cruise group size?

  PerryGolf Cruises are typically planned for approximately 40 golfers and non-golfing companions.

  Some guests travel as small groups of friends or couples who already know one another, while others join as couples or individual travelers and enjoy meeting fellow guests. PerryGolf arranges pairings where required, helping create a friendly and social golf experience throughout the voyage.

• What is a typical golf day during a PerryGolf with Silversea Golf Cruise?

  PerryGolf manages each guest’s golf equipment from start to finish. Clubs are transported to the course in advance and are ready for guests upon arrival, either on a golf cart or with a caddie where applicable.

  Transfers from the ship are scheduled to allow time to warm up before play. A light lunch is typically provided during the golf day, and refreshments are available during and after the round. Following golf, guests may relax in the clubhouse before returning to the ship.

• Can you tell me more about the golf program?

  Every aspect of the golf program is fully managed by PerryGolf staff onboard and ashore. Tee times and pairings are arranged in advance, transportation schedules are coordinated, and golf equipment logistics are handled throughout the voyage.

  Where available by venue, caddies may be included; caddie gratuities are not included. Guests should refer to the individual itinerary for course-by-course cart and caddie availability. A friendly competition is typically staged at one selected course, with awards presented later during the voyage.

• What happens to my golf clubs during the cruise?

  PerryGolf manages golf equipment logistics throughout the program. On golf days, clubs are transported to the course in advance and are ready for guests upon arrival.

  After play, PerryGolf coordinates the handling and return of equipment so guests do not need to manage their clubs day to day. This allows golfers to enjoy the cruise experience without the usual logistics of transporting clubs between courses.

• What is PerryGolf’s Golf Cruise background?

  PerryGolf has operated Golf Cruises since 1997 on a variety of vessels, building on the expertise developed through custom land tours dating back to 1984. In 2011, PerryGolf introduced its first Golf Cruises with Azamara Cruises, whose fleet of four boutique ships proved ideal for this style of travel.

  Beginning with 2027 travel, PerryGolf is delighted to launch a new partnership with Tauck for River Golf Cruising, as well as a new partnership with Silversea, expanding our Golf Cruise portfolio with an ultra-luxury cruise brand known for intimate ships, all-suite accommodations, personalized service, fine dining, and immersive global voyages.

• What makes Silversea well suited to a PerryGolf Cruise?

  Silversea is well suited to PerryGolf Cruises because its intimate ships, all-suite accommodations, personalized service, fine dining, and destination-focused itineraries complement PerryGolf’s fully managed golf program ashore.

  This combination allows guests to enjoy a refined cruise experience onboard while PerryGolf manages the golf arrangements off the ship. The result is a travel experience that balances memorable golf, cultural discovery, comfort, and attentive service.

• Can you tell me more about the Silversea ships used for PerryGolf Cruises?

  Silversea ships are designed for refined luxury cruising at an intimate scale, with elegant all-suite accommodations, personalized service, and destination-focused itineraries. The onboard experience emphasizes refined comfort, fine dining, premium beverages, Wi-Fi, enrichment, and attentive hospitality.

  The specific ship varies by itinerary and will be listed on the individual PerryGolf with Silversea Golf Cruise webpage. Guests should review the relevant itinerary page for details about the ship, suite categories, dining venues, and onboard amenities for their selected voyage.

• What is the dress code onboard and at the golf courses?

  Silversea’s dress code reflects a refined but relaxed luxury atmosphere. During the day, guests typically wear elegant resort-style clothing suitable for relaxing onboard, touring ashore, and enjoying warm-weather activities.

  After 6:00 PM, the onboard style becomes more polished. Indoor venues generally follow either Elegant Casual or Formal Optional dress guidance, depending on the evening. Guests should avoid overly casual items indoors in the evening, including ripped jeans, athletic wear, shorts, flip-flops, T-shirts, swimwear, and baseball caps. Standard golf club attire is required at the golf courses.

• What level of fitness and mobility is required?

  A reasonable level of fitness and mobility is recommended in order to participate comfortably in a PerryGolf with Silversea Golf Cruise.

  Guests may encounter uneven or rough surfaces, stairs where elevators are not available, motorcoach steps, and tender boats or smaller vessels in certain ports. These examples are representative but not exhaustive. Guests with concerns about mobility should discuss them with a PerryGolf Golf Travel Expert before booking. In general, PerryGolf activities are not designed or intended to be overly strenuous, but some walking and basic mobility are required.

• What travel documents are required for a PerryGolf with Silversea Golf Cruise?

  Travel document requirements vary by itinerary, nationality, and port of call. Guests are responsible for ensuring they have valid passports, visas, health documentation, and any other required entry documents for the countries visited.

  Silversea provides travel requirement information and voyage-specific resources to help guests prepare, and PerryGolf Golf Travel Experts can help direct guests to the appropriate information. Requirements can change, so travelers should confirm current rules well in advance of departure.

• Can I ship my golf clubs ahead of my trip?
