When you book a luxury cruise with Silversea Cruises, one of the most important details you’ll receive is your cruise confirmation number. This number serves as a unique identifier for your reservation and is essential for managing your voyage. It helps Silversea locate your booking, allows you to access travel documents, and is often required for check-in, upgrades, or customer service assistance.
Whether you book directly with Silversea, through a travel advisor, or as part of a group, your confirmation number ties your name to your specific itinerary, suite category, departure date, and voyage ID. It is the most critical piece of reference information for your cruise. Purpose and Importance of the Confirmation Number
The confirmation number is more than just a receipt or proof of purchase. It is the foundation of your travel experience with Silversea.
Each confirmation number is unique and assigned per booking, not per guest.
If two people are booked in the same suite, they share the same confirmation number, though each guest has a personal profile linked to it.
If you are traveling as part of a group with multiple suites booked together, each suite may have its own confirmation number, even under one group reservation.
Your confirmation number plays several essential roles throughout your cruise journey.
You’ll need this number to log in to Silversea’s "My Silversea" portal, where you can view and manage your cruise details, complete pre-cruise documents, and book shore excursions.
The cruise confirmation number is used during online check-in, which is mandatory before boarding. It links your name to your ship, sailing date, and travel documents.
If you call guest services or reservations, the representative will typically ask for your confirmation number to quickly locate your reservation.
After booking your Silversea voyage, you’ll receive documentation via email or through your travel advisor. Your confirmation number is usually easy to spot.
Silversea sends a detailed confirmation email after your reservation is processed.
The confirmation number is usually located at the top or near the "Booking Summary" section.
It may be labeled as:
Booking Reference
Reservation Number

Cruise Reference ID
If you booked through a travel agent, they will typically forward the confirmation details on your behalf.
Look for a multi-digit alphanumeric code on your cruise invoice. That is your confirmation number.
If you cannot find it, your travel advisor can retrieve it for you quickly using your name and sailing date.
