Silver Shadow is a hallmark of timeless elegance in the Silversea fleet, offering a classic luxury cruising experience. Accommodating 388 guests and serviced by a crew of 302, the ship delivers a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, ensuring personalized attention and refined service at every turn. Silver Shadow is renowned for its intimate size, spacious suites, and a rich onboard ambiance that reflects the spirit of traditional luxury travel.

Each of Silver Shadow’s all-suite accommodations features ocean views, with most offering private verandas. Inside, guests enjoy marble bathrooms with full-size bathtubs, walk-in closets, a sitting area, and a dedicated butler to attend to every need. The larger suites—such as the Royal, Grand, and Owner’s Suites—boast expansive living and dining areas, ideal for entertaining or longer voyages.

Dining aboard Silver Shadow is a sensory journey. The Restaurant offers open-seating gourmet cuisine with international flair, while La Terrazza showcases fresh Italian recipes made from the highest quality ingredients. The Grill, on the pool deck, provides a more relaxed environment with lava stone cooking under the stars. For an elevated experience, La Dame presents fine French dining paired with premium wines in an intimate setting.

Silver Shadow’s public areas reflect a sense of understated luxury. The Panorama Lounge offers sweeping views and afternoon tea service, while the Observation Lounge is perfect for quiet reflection or stargazing. The Connoisseur’s Corner features a curated selection of cigars and fine spirits. The Show Lounge hosts enrichment lectures, musical performances, and cultural events. The ship also features a casino, boutiques, a fitness center, and a tranquil spa offering a full menu of treatments.

One of Silver Shadow’s defining qualities is its world-spanning itineraries. The ship journeys across the globe—from the fjords of Norway to the vibrant cities of Asia and the sun-drenched coasts of the Mediterranean. Every voyage is enhanced with shore excursions curated by Silversea’s Destination Experts, delivering exclusive access to local culture, history, and cuisine.

Silver Shadow is also a proud participant in Silversea’s World Cruise program, offering extended voyages that span multiple continents and deeply connect guests with the world’s most iconic and remote destinations. With fewer guests, abundant space, and attentive service, Silver Shadow appeals to travelers seeking an immersive experience grounded in timeless sophistication.

Whether embarking on a short luxury getaway or a months-long grand voyage, Silver Shadow provides a warm and elegant atmosphere that echoes the golden age of cruising—refined, intimate, and unforgettable.
