This 514-foot, 16,800-ton ship hosts only 296 guests at full capacity. Built in 1995, Silver Cloud has spent its life cruising between the world’s most exotic ports of call, pampering its passengers all the while. With a crew-to-guest ratio of 1 to 1.34, all suite accommodations, and some of the finest cuisine at sea, Silver Cloud is one of the most luxurious liners in operation, and it serves a clientele that demands the best service, dining, and accommodations possible.
Cabins Silver Cloud shines in many ways, but its cabins may be its best attribute. The ship features all-suite accommodations, meaning that every cabin features ocean views, walk-in closets, all-cotton linens, down pillows, fresh fruit, complimentary bottled water and beverages, and steward service. All bathrooms feature marble tiles, Acqua Di Parma bath products, shower/bathtub combinations, hair dryers, terry-cloth robes, and more. 111 of the ship’s 147 suites feature private verandahs. There are six suite categories, ranging in size from the 240 square-foot Vista Suites to the 1,314 square-foot Grand Suites. Dining The Restaurant (main dining room) Crisp linens, sparkling crystal, and a top-flight wait staff welcome diners to the ship’s main dining room, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily.

Diners can choose to eat indoors our outdoors, depending on the weather. Saletta The ship’s most elegant restaurant serves incredible food and wine to lucky diners nightly. Oenophiles, take note: the Head Sommelier offers recommendations from the restaurant’s expansive wine cellar. Room Service Silver Cloud offers 24-hour room service, including items from The Restaurant menu during regular dining hours. Public Rooms From evening shows in the multi-tiered Venetian Lounge to sweeping ocean views and top-shelf cocktails in the Panorama Lounge, Silver Cloud’s six passenger decks are studies in luxury and elegance. Other highlights include The Bar—an art deco shrine that’s easily the ship’s most popular spot for conversation and cocktails—and the Champagne Room, which offers fine bubblies, cognacs, grappas, cigars, and more. Also popular are the Silver Links golf program, which offers onboard instruction and rounds at some of the world’s finest courses, and the Moonlight Movies series, featuring first-run films shown on the top deck.

Silver Cloud offers literally hundreds of shore-based adventures across the globe, ranging from campfire dinners in the African desert to fighter-jet rides over Moscow. Many of the shore excursions are included in the cost of each cruise, making off-boat adventures easy to book and enjoy. Passengers are encouraged to book shore excursions during their voyage.
