Cape Town to Mahe

Originally launched as a classic luxury vessel and later converted to expedition cruising, Silver Cloud is the bridge between Silversea’s traditional elegance and modern adventure. Accommodating up to 200 guests in polar regions (and up to 254 in non-polar areas), Silver Cloud boasts a reinforced hull for ice navigation, 18 Zodiacs for landings, and a team of expert guides leading immersive excursions in the world’s most remote destinations.

Despite its expedition focus, Silver Cloud retains the sophisticated hallmarks of Silversea: all-suite accommodations, butler service, and elegant dining. The ship features five dining venues, including La Dame, La Terrazza, The Grill, and a full-service main restaurant. Public areas include the Explorer Lounge for daily briefings and enrichment lectures, an Observation Lounge for panoramic views, and a Zagara Beauty Spa with a fitness center.

Suites offer ocean views—many with private verandas—and include luxurious touches like marble bathrooms, premium toiletries, and stocked minibars. Guests enjoy unparalleled access to destinations like Antarctica, the Arctic, the Amazon, and West Africa while relaxing in a setting that feels more like a private yacht than a traditional expedition vessel.

Silver Cloud exemplifies Silversea’s ability to provide once-in-a-lifetime adventures without sacrificing comfort, style, or service. Its dual personality—luxury yacht meets rugged explorer—makes it the ideal choice for travelers who crave authenticity and indulgence in equal measure.
