In all fairness, that may be why they set up the Door-to-Door program, seeking to offer an all-included option. But the current framework isn't working. Since Silversea does not directly control execution of those elements (flights, the shore excursion, car service, etc.), some passengers are also reporting a less-than-optimal experience with those elements for which SS is charging a premium with the D2D package.

Great to see that the new larger ships are able to dock directly in Bordeaux! I wasn’t sure if that was only the case for the smaller classic ships.

The other thing with the new Door-to-Door scheme is the odd way it impacts pricing if you are traveling solo or traveling with friends but each booking your own cabins. For example, I just went to price out a voyage later this year that is showing available with a 25% solo supplement. But the door-to-door pricing adds the solo supplement onto the whole package, not just the cruise fare. So now you're paying an extra 25% for the airfare and transfers. That makes no sense, as there is no additional cost to Silversea for the airfare for 1 person vs. 2. Even worse, for the voyage I was looking at, the port-to-port price properly applies 25% single supplement for the cruise fare. But the door-to-door price adds a 50% single supplement to the door-to-door price, not the advertised 25%. It is patently absurd to impose the solo supplement on the airfare portion of these fares.
