  • All-suite cabins with complimentary butler service allow you relax in understated luxury between excursions

Sleek on the outside and cosy on the inside, Silver Wind balances traditional elegance with comfort. The onboard service is superb in the multiple dining venues and all throughout the ship, whether you're relaxing in your suite or at the well-stocked bar.

What our customers think of Silver Wind

The Silver Wind exceeded our expectations. Our cabin was great and comfortable. Food was excellent but too much! Their signature hot chocolate was a delight. Yes, would be very happy to sail in the Wind again. Great entertainment too. Read the full review

Paul Ballentine - UK

The cruise ship experience was excellent. The restaurant staff is one of the most welcoming, warm, and very sincere, friendly teams I've ever come across. Because tips were included in the upfront charge, there was never any feeling that the crew were only nicer because of expected tips. The expedition team was just incredible - much of the successful and enjoyable trip was due to the competency, experience and knowledge of every member of the team.

10/10 - The scenery and wildlife were amazing, the service on the ship was excellent (if a little over the top), the food was top-notch and the level of expertise of the ship's expedition team was impressive.

The cruise was amazing. I had two kids on board and our suite was absolutely perfect. The staff on the boat were unmatched to anything I have seen. Read the full review
