I have done 90 days on Silversea but only 14 on Seabourn, all in a Veranda. Seabourn would get more of me if their solo supplement was not routinely 150%. I can usually book Silversea at 125%, then if things go well, subtract Venetian discount and onboard booking discount.
That being said, I had a marvelous time in Alaska last year on Seabourn: I sat at hosted tables all but 2 nights, invitations were in my suite by lunch and I RSVPd. Food was fab (except desserts which were lacking flavor), bourbon selection was better than Silversea. It did take me a couple of nites to figure out the menu. Glacier Bay was phenomenal.
While some do not like it, I find Silversea Door-to-door comfortable. Once I am in the Blacklane car, I am taken care of and nothing is my problem. When my flight was delayed coming home this February, I knew my Blacklane driver had to fight DC rush hour, not me. Also a hotly debated topic is the dress code and I enjoy a few nights of glitz on Silversea. And more than a few nights of caviar! The Grill is fun for dinner and the pizza really is good because sometimes you just need pizza, wine, and gelato.
Trying Regent next year for the first time as a solo. Go for the itinerary that speaks to you.
