Overview

The Silver Wind is a luxury expedition ship operated by Silversea Cruises, combining the timeless elegance of a classic small ship with the versatility needed to explore the planet’s most remote regions. After a major refurbishment in 2021, the vessel received an ice-strengthened hull, ice-detection sonar, and a full expedition fleet, allowing it to sail from the polar regions to iconic ports with ease. Accommodating up to 274 guests in 149 suites, the Silver Wind offers a relaxed and intimate atmosphere where every guest enjoys personalized butler service. Spacious suites, many with private teak verandas, refined dining venues, a pool deck, a spa, and inviting lounges create a welcoming retreat after each day of discovery. With 24 Zodiac boats, one for every 11 guests, and a fleet of sea kayaks, the Silver Wind brings travelers closer to towering glaciers, drifting icebergs, and remarkable wildlife. Guided landings, wildlife observation, and enrichment lectures led by an expert expedition team make each voyage to Antarctica, the Arctic, or Greenland an unforgettable experience. Aboard the Silver Wind, the spirit of exploration meets classic Silversea luxury, offering travelers an extraordinary way to discover the world’s most pristine wilderness in comfort and style.
