About Silver Cloud

Silver Cloud is a Silversea ship from 1994 that was converted in 2017 at Palumbo Shipyards in Malta into an ice-class expedition ship, with a strengthened hull and reinforced bow for polar waters. She offers all-suite accommodation, and Zodiacs and kayaks take guests ashore and along remote coastlines.
