Why we like Silver Cloud
- Fully refurbished in 2016 the Silver Cloud has been redesigned for polar exploration in serious comfort
- Some of the largest suites on any ship, most of which with private balconies
- A staff to passenger ratio of very nearly 1:1
- Despite her size she’s fast, capable of cruising at 17 knots
- Four restaurants on board including a Relais & Chateaux option
- An incredible attention to detail
- A fully dedicated expedition crew of 20+ experienced polar specialists
