Nightly fare
Different quote units prevent a direct fare winner.
Not directly comparable
The observed medians use different quote units. Keep Explora's available suite total, double occupancy separate from Silversea's US fare, per guest until a supported normalization exists.
Explora: 667 priced sailings, $688 per cabin, per night median.
Silversea: 1,054 priced sailings, $804 per guest, per night median.
No direct price winner is published for different or unproved quote units.
Bottom line
Different quote units prevent a direct price winner
Explora's observed median is $688/night on its available suite total, double occupancy basis; Silversea's is $804/night on its US fare, per guest basis. Those quote units do not support a direct price winner without a verified normalization.
Each observed price remains useful on its own published basis, but the two amounts are not like-for-like.
