Silver Wind
Newly renovated in 2020, Silver Wind’s original elegance and luxurious style has been enhanced and is now joined by a strengthened ice-class hull and an improved ratio of staff to passengers, creating a sensational cruising experience.
Boasting the amenities of a five star hotel, with the cutting edge technologies of a polar vessel, Silver Wind offers a chance to explore remote and captivating destinations while enjoying an unparalleled level of comfort and entertainment onboard. A strengthened ice-class hull allows Silver Wind to travel to the Polar Regions, alongside its Caribbean, South American and European destinations.
The Suites are a masterclass in tasteful and elegant design, with crisp white bed linens and a pared-back colour scheme that takes its cue from the ocean without distracting from the mesmerising views through the large windows. From the Vista Suite with its sitting area and picture windows, to the upper cabins with their verandas and balconies, the accommodation of Silver Wind is designed to maximise the connection with the passing landscapes. Writing desks with personalised stationary, wifi, flatscreen TVs and direct-dial telephones keep you connected, while plush robes, European bathroom amenities, minibars and walk-in showers create an enticing retreat after a day of exploring.
With its superior range of restaurants, bars and leisure facilities, Silver Wind surpasses many of the vessels in its class. Dine on tender meat cooked on lava rock at The Grill or exquisitely prepared Italian dishes at La Terrazza, their ingredients sourced from the finest producers in Italy. Reserve a table at La Dame to celebrate a special occasion with fine wines and a regionally-inspired tasting menu, or enjoy an equally refined yet more laidback experience at The Restaurant. Indulge in a treatment at the Zagara Beauty Spa, curl up with a book in The Library or watch a live performance or educational lecture in the Show Lounge.
After undergoing its 2020 renovation Silver Wind now offers an expanded range of onboard equipment, including Zodiacs and kayaks to afford passengers the opportunity to explore and experience the destinations up close. Dive into the history, geography and wildlife of the region with the knowledge and experience of the expert guides and Silversea’s Expedition Leaders.
