Providing a luxurious base for remote adventures, the Silver Cloud offers top level comfort with a warm, classic feel. The 254 guests can choose from four dining venues, or enjoy a more intimate meal with the complimentary in-suite dining. The attentive service and high staff to guest ratio ensures a hassle-free experience from start to finish. 

Why we like this ship

  • An unparalleled staff-to-guest ratio of almost 1:1
  • A large, experienced team of polar experts create a rich environment for learning and experiencing the wonders of Antarctica during your expedition
  • Outstanding cuisine across the ship's 4 dining options including the reservation-only La Dame
  • Comfortable all-suite cabins
  • All drinks included, apart from specialist wines and spirits
  • Complimentary 24-hour room service
  • Bookable as a door-to-door fully inclusive package - including pick up from your own home, all flights and the voyage - for seamlessly hassle free travel

We think it's worth noting...

  • The ship doesn't offer a full kayaking programme for those who want to kayak more than the single complimentary session

Luxurious touches are threaded throughout this elegant ship with its classic charm and welcoming vibe. I particularly loved the wraparound top deck – perfect for getting my daily steps in while soaking in the spectacular icy views.

What our customers think of Silver Cloud

Top notch. Our silver suite was very roomy and well appointed. The staff did an excellent job of cleaning it. The food was luxurious and plentiful.

The cabin was great, hardly felt in a ship - it looked like a hotel room. The food was the best I have ever had in a cruise. Perfect portions, incredible variety, high quality. Absolutely spotless! And all the waiters were incredibly nice and efficient. Read the full review

Silver Cloud certainly upgraded our experience on the cruise. Cabin was great, the butler and staff were amazing. All the staff members on the cruise were friendly, learning and knowing our preferences. Also gave great care and attention to our toddler. Read the full review
