After extensive refurbishment, the Silver Cloud is one of the most spacious and comfortable ice-class vessels in polar expedition cruising today. Featuring large suites (80% of which come with verandas) and unparalleled service, the Silver Cloud delivers a truly special 5-star Artic or Antarctica cruise experience. Four dining options will tantalize your taste buds, while highly trained staff delivers top-tier guest services and amenities throughout your time on board.
