Description

The oldest of the Silversea Cruises fleet, yet it offers great comfort, elegance and luxury. It has recently been transformed into an expedition ship, with features for sailing through ice. Its charm is appreciated by many repeaters, who love the familiar and intimate atmosphere which ships of this size still know how to provide. Also worth mentioning is the beauty of the Silver Cloud outdoor spaces, including the stern’s terrace, and the sophisticated cuisine. This provides a real multicultural culinary tour. Gabriele Bassi

Comment

Departing from King George Island aboard Silver Cloud was surprisingly comfortable, considering the extreme destination. The ship seamlessly blends elegance and functionality: the cabins feature comfortable beds and well-designed spaces, while large windows allow to admire icebergs and penguin colonies without having to brave the cold outside. What impressed me most was the impeccable organization of the excursions. Every landing on the Antarctic Peninsula and in the South Shetland Islands was safe, punctual, and led by expert guides who made each encounter with local wildlife truly memorable. On board, dining maintains luxury-cruise standards, with refined cuisine and attentive service. The shared spaces invite to relax, socialize, or simply enjoy the silence and the extraordinary polar light surrounding the ship. Silver Cloud offers a unique experience, a perfect balance between adventure and comfort. It was my first time in Antarctica and the experience exceeded my expectations.
