PerryGolf Cruises with Silversea

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.

  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?

• 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.

• What is PerryGolf’s Golf Cruise background?

  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.

• 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.
