Silver Wind is a small luxury expedition ship operated by Silversea Cruises. Built in 1995, she was refurbished in 2018 and underwent a major 2021 conversion that strengthened her hull for ice-class operations. The ship accommodates 274 guests in 149 suites supported by 239 crew. Her intimate scale, butler service, ocean-view accommodations, and expedition equipment make her suited to polar and remote-region voyages while retaining Silversea’s upscale dining, lounges, wellness facilities, and relaxed onboard atmosphere.

Dining includes The Restaurant, La Terrazza, La Dame, and The Grill, with options ranging from destination-inspired cuisine and Italian specialties to French tasting menus and poolside grilled dishes.
Onboard venues include The Show Lounge, Panorama Lounge, Dolce Vita, the Observation Library, and Connoisseur’s Corner. Entertainment is oriented toward intimate lounges, live piano, talks, and expedition programming rather than large-scale production shows.
The ship offers 149 suites, including Vista, Classic Veranda, Deluxe Veranda, Medallion, Silver, Royal, Grand, and Owner’s Suite categories. Most accommodation categories provide ocean views, and many include private verandas.
Silver Wind is designed primarily for adults and expedition travelers, with small-ship exploration, Zodiac landings, kayaks, and expedition activities as central features. No substantial dedicated children’s facilities were confirmed.
Wellness facilities include the Zagara Beauty Spa, Zagara Beauty Salon, fitness center, heated pool, and whirlpools. The ship also provides outdoor relaxation areas and a pool deck with sun and shade seating.
Public areas include elevators, reception, lounges, dining venues, and wellness facilities, but ship-specific accessibility details should be confirmed directly with Silversea before booking.
