A major upgrade in December 2018 saw Silver Wind looking better than ever. A second refurbishment in November 2021 saw her benefitting from a strengthened ice-class hull and made her one of the most adaptable ships in our fleet. Still timelessly elegant, still luxuriously relaxed, Silver Wind’s improved cruising versatility means she can whizz from Polar Regions to iconic ports with fluid ease. Whether you want to get up close and personal to penguins in Antarctica or laze on the golden sands of the Caribbean, get ready for a wealth of diverse destination experiences aboard Silver Wind.
This was a wonderful excursion trip to a pretty exciting location. Scientific staff were educational, fun and did a great job at helping us understand the importance of this beautiful location. Impressed with their desire to leave it as pristine was they found it. The excursions were varied, energizing and unique. Do Kayak if you know how it is an experience like no other. When not out on excursions we met so many wonderful people from all over the world. Though we all come from different places it was really interesting how much they wanted to discuss everyones locations, culture and such. We made life long friendships. The staff were professional and at our beck and call. It was incredible to me how they took their individual duties so seriously. Our butler and her assistant were friendly, hard working and were able to help us with any questions we may have had. It was nice to have an in-room bar and though we were in Antarctica, our balcony was very used -had blankets and such ready for us! The food was really some of the best we have had traveling this way. Even the buffet had unique and varied options for all cultures. The restaurants had spectacular service and beautifully plated dining. We ate twice at the pay to eat La Dam and admit we may not on our future SS cruise because the food was so good at all the other restaurants. But the food there was also spectacular. Hours spent in the lounge were fun with the memory games and music. Thank you for such a spectacular way to see such a beautiful location as Antarctica. There were no children on the cruise.
Just looking at the reviews I find it hard to believe the 1-stars. We had a wonderful experience on our 18 day sailing to Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falklands. The expedition staff was excellent, the food was very good, and the staff attentive. The most important part was the Expedition Staff and I couldn't say enough nice things about them. Yes, it's an older ship and thus has a few issues like a too small mud room, but that's easy to live with. The did run out of some fresh food items toward the end of the cruise, but there was no resupply option. The charter flight from/to Santiago was excellent. Yes, it was economy seating but with lots of leg room (and I'm tall) - much better the dealing with South American Airlines. Cooking a steak on at hot rock on the pool deck in Antarctica was a magical experience. We enjoyed the cruise so much, we have booked an Iceland/Greenland expedition on the same ship.
This cruise departed out of San Diego which made it really nice for us. We up graded to a suite and it was excellent. The itinerary was not very exciting but we were looking for a laid back cruise. This was our third expedition cruise with Silver Sea and they lived up to their high standards. The ship itself was very nice and the staff was outstanding. Our butler did a great job and went above and beyond to make our trip a success. Food on board was very good and selection excellent. Another bonus was that this cruise was very lightly booked as we only had 85 passengers. The only draw back was the TV system was not working so we had no way to find out what was happening around the world. Also there is very limited entertainment so the nights can be a little boring. The transpiration to and from the ship was an extra bonus as was having an all inclusive hotel at the end of the cruise. So my only recommendations for Silver Sea would be to get the TV system working, upgrade the WIFI package, and have a little more to do at night. But other than that, this was an excellent cruise on an top of the line cruise line.
Silversea’s suites offer one of the highest space-per-guest ratios of any luxury cruise accommodations. All Silversea suites have ocean views, and most include a private teak veranda so that you can breathe in the fresh sea air simply by stepping outside your door. And regardless of the ship or suite category, all guests will be pampered with the personalised services of an attentive butler. For a truly personal experience, customise your suite with an abundance of thoughtful options and luxurious amenities from Bulgari toiletries and personalised stationery to a bar with your favourite wines and spirits. Settle in with a complimentary movie or choose instead to simply watch the ocean swim by. You can even have dinner in-suite served course by course by your butler. Then, when it’s time to retire, curl up beneath Egyptian cotton linens and a fluffy duvet, with your choice of nine different pillow types. The ultimate in luxury cruise accommodations, Silversea’s suites are your home away from home.
With the importance of food in Italian culture, you would expect dining to be a high priority at Silversea. And it most assuredly is. No matter which restaurant you choose to dine in, you will find great diversity and presentation of culinary selections on board your all inclusive cruise. Silversea offers a choice of dining venues, even aboard their smallest ships, and as many as six restaurants on Silver Spirit — remarkable for a ship of her size. The main dining room aboard every Silversea luxury cruise ship, The Restaurant, is always open seating so you can arrive at your leisure and dine with the friends you invite to join your table. And with the worldly crowd of international guests who sail on Silversea ships, socialising is yet another great advantage of the Silversea experience.
Select voyages go the extra mile with enrichment programmes that will invigorate mind, body and soul, so from the tips of your taste buds to the depths of your soul, be prepared for a sensory rollercoaster of discovery while not only aboard but also ashore. Silversea's travel experience is a second to none and after 23 years in the business, travelling from pole to pole, Silversea has carefully sourced some of the world’s most renowned artists, experts and guest speakers who will travel on select voyages in order to offer culturally immersive experiences from a unique perspective.

The ocean views and soothing sound of the surf can be quite intoxicating at sea, so it’s not surprising that daydreaming on deck is one of the most popular pastimes. However, every Silversea all inclusive cruise also includes a considerable number of more active pursuits — some for the body, some for the mind … and some just for fun.
While on your luxury cruise, embark on a personal journey of wellness to complement your global adventures. Work out in the well-equipped Fitness Centre, take a class in circuit training or Pilates in the aerobics room, and let the sauna and steam rooms work their magic to soothe every muscle. Silversea offers seminars ranging from aromatherapy and nutrition to how to burn fat. A holistic approach to wellness fully integrates exercise, fitness and spa therapies with health lectures and nutritious dining to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle, even while away from home.
