Silver Cloud
Silver Cloud: Adventure cruising in style
Snapshot
Silver Cloud debuted as Silversea's first ship back in 1994. But the ship received a $40 million makeover in 2017 and a relaunch as an expedition ship. Raved Cruise Critic: “It's now the newest — and most alluring — vessel to join Silversea's fast-growing fleet of expedition ships, and is the hot new superstar of all expedition ships, not just Silversea's.”
The ship carries 200 passengers on polar cruise, and 254 passengers elsewhere. On polar sails, you can expect more crew members than passengers, including 22 expedition experts holding forth.
Who will like sailing on Silver Cloud
Silver Cloud is now the most alluring cruise ship to cold weather climes in particular, so the ship should appeal to those with an adventurous streak and a taste for comfort rather than roughing it. But it's also a comfortable ship for exploring warm weather venues.
Where Silver Cloud sails
Silver Cloud sails just about everywhere, including Antarctica, South America, the Mediterranean, Middle East, Asia, Australia, South Africa and elsewhere.
Top dining choices
Silver Cloud offers a wealth of dining options:
La Terrazza
A divine selection of Italy's best cuisine is served a la carte in La Terrazza. Authentic recipes and fresh ingredients come together in a flavorful expression that represents Silversea's distinctive Italian heritage and embraces the principles of the Slow Food movement, using fresh, sustainable and local ingredients For example, La Terrazza uses buffalo mozzarella from Naples, organic balsamic vinegar and olive oil from Umbria, and air-dried ham out of Parma. The Emilia-Romagna region also produces Silversea’s 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano, while the pasta is made daily right on board. La Terrazza is open for casual, buffet-style breakfast and lunch with indoor or al fresco dining on the outdoor terrace. During the evening, the restaurant transforms into an à la carte traditional Italian restaurant.
Le Champagne
The only Wine Restaurant by Relais & Chateaux at sea can be found aboard the ships of Silversea. Indulge in an evening where fine wines are complemented by a set tasting menu of regionally inspired dishes in an intimate, elegant setting. Open seating is available for breakfast and lunch, while reservations are necessary for dinner. The experience requires a per-guest, reservation fee of $40.
The Restaurant
Sparkling with silver, crystal and candlelight, The Restaurant serves up contemporary, international cuisine. Menus feature regional specialties unique to the destinations guests visit on their cruise. For example, roasted Chilean sea bass is served while cruising the Chilean fjords, and Indian chicken korma, while en route to Mumbai. The Restaurant on board this cruise ship offers open-seating dining, which means there are no assigned times and no assigned tables. You are free to dine when, where and with whom you please.
Pool Bar & Grill
Casual and convenient. At the Pool Bar, cocktails are served with soft ocean breezes. Poolside menu options feature healthy CruiseLite selections and light fare for lunch and dinner including grilled meats and fresh-from-the-oven pizza. At night, the top deck of the Pool Bar & Grill is transformed into The Grill, an intimate al fresco eatery featuring a fun, interactive Black Rock Grill experience. A preheated volcanic rock is brought to your table, allowing you to cook such delicacies as steak, veal, pork, lamb, salmon, fish or prawns exactly to your liking right at your own table. Reservations are required for dinner.
