SILVER CLOUD EXPEDITION
This small luxury ship is designed for those who delight in the thrill of discovery while indulging mind and body in the most lavish surroundings imaginable.
All accommodations are spacious with most benefiting from a private veranda plus ocean-view suites include butler service. This intimate, ultra-luxury ship can sail up narrow waterways into the heart of a city, or tie up right at the pier while others must anchor off shore. And for those who yearn to explore the new and unknown, this ship can transport you to the furthermost boundaries of the planet.
Renowned for culinary excellence and innovative spirit, a luxury cruise on the Silver Cloud Expedition offers a choice of open-seating dining options throughout the fleet, as well as several specialty venues. Enjoy the ease, convenience and value of an all-inclusive cruise fare that includes almost all of your discretionary onboard expenses. In a world of multi-national conglomerates, the Silver Cloud Expedition is owned and operated by one family — the Lefebvres of Rome.
This means genuine pride in ownership and a true Italian passion for embracing the best of life and a personal commitment to maintain the high standards of cruise excellence that have been the cornerstone of this vessel from the very beginning. Awaken your soul to the wonder of Antarctica with an Antarctic cruise on the Silver Cloud Expedition. Revel in the beauty and overwhelming power of nature. Admire the staggering abundance of wildlife. Meet the personal challenge of reaching the earth’s last great wilderness frontier. You’ll cruise across seas of glass, passing giant prisms of ice riding an ink-blue sea. And you’ll share the landscape with bellowing elephant seals and raucous rookeries of penguins, unafraid and unperturbed by your presence. This ship offers the highest standards of comfort, safety and style.
After extensive refurbishment, The Silver Cloud Expedition is the most spacious and comfortable ice class vessel in expedition cruising.
Her large suites, her destination itineraries and her unparalleled service make her truly special. Her five dining options will tantalise your taste buds. Many of her suites include a veranda, the chance to watch a breaching whale or a few cavorting penguins has never been so personal.
Broad sweeping decks with multiple open spaces and a swimming pool complete what is surely the most distinctive expedition ship sailing today. A limited number of guests, just 240 in polar waters, mean that The Silver Cloud Expedition has the highest space to guest and crew to guest ratios in expedition cruising. With her 18 zodiacs, possibilities are almost limitless with ship-wide simultaneous explorations.
Finally, a team of 19 passionate and dedicated experts are always at hand to ensure your voyage is enhanced every step of the way.
