Silver Cloud can sleep 254 guests. She was built in 2004 and had a major refurbishment in 2017.
Purpose-built for polar exploration and transformed by a major refurbishment in 2017, Silver Cloud is Silversea’s first hybrid expedition ship—designed to deliver Antarctica’s raw beauty in ultra-luxurious comfort. Accommodating up to 240 guests in polar regions (254 outside), she offers one of the highest space- and crew-to-guest ratios in expedition cruising.
With 20 zodiacs and 10 kayaks, guests can enjoy simultaneous, intimate excursions that bring you closer to towering icebergs, penguin colonies, and breaching whales. Four dining venues serve exquisite cuisine, and 80% of suites feature a private veranda, offering the chance to witness Antarctic wildlife right from your balcony.
Expedition experts, butler service, and all-inclusive luxury come together to create an experience that’s both deeply adventurous and deeply personal.
While Silver Cloud is best known for her Antarctic voyages, she also explores other extraordinary destinations—from the Arctic and the Amazon to Africa and the British Isles—with the same spirit of discovery and exceptional service.
