Silver Wind: A recently refurbished, 5-star luxury cruise ship
Major upgrades and refurbishments in the last several years saw the Silver Wind strengthened to an ice-class hull and made her one of the most adaptable ships in the Silversea fleet. Still timelessly elegant, still luxuriously relaxed, her improved cruising versatility means she will be able to sail to Polar regions with fluid ease. Once onboard the Silver Wind, be prepared to get up close and personal with the local wildlife in the Arctic or Antarctic while indulging in traditional Silversea comfort.
