Silver Cloud Antarctica 2024

My recent cruise to Antarctica Feb 2024 with Silvercloud left a lot to be desired, firstly I chose Silversea because I wanted a safer bigger cruise that had more experience with Antarctica instead of their smaller newer competitors and also how they pride themselves of having 5 dining outlets. (Both to be very wrong of me, seasoned expedition guides basically switch from different companies all ...

Silver Cloud has an amazing crew in all departments. Our cabin was well-appointed and comfortable, the restaurants were very good, front desk very helpful. The Expedition team were superb, and great fun too. An expedition cruise has a different vibe to a trip cruise. It is full of anticipation and excitement and every day can change from the immediate itinerary owing to weather, wildlife and other ...

Essentially a reposition cruise, Artic to Antarctic. At sea days punctuated with short drive-by visits to out-of-the-way locations where there little to see or do.

This was essentially a reposition cruise, Artic to Antarctic, but was not advertised as such. Ship is old and very much showing her age, significant water leak into observation lounge during rain storms, several cabins flooded due to air conditioning leaks, many areas of ship were quite warm on hot days. Too many stops, for too little time at each stop, focus was on quantity not quality. At ...

We had a great time in Antartica and it was a great experience overall to travel with silversea. Our trip was door to door, we paid a bit more than port to port to have a complete experience. Once on Board everything went well, great crew, amazing food, very clean cabin and amazing bartenders. Cabin was comfortable, clean and spacious. we were never disappointed. The excursions were well ...

Great Expedition/Very Tired Ship

An Expedition to Antarctica was a dream come true. One cannot describe how magnificent this experience is -- from the wildlife, to the glaciers, to the ice scapes, the kayaking in antarctic waters, the zodiac experiences, the enrichment, the great service, etc. it was amazing. The Silver Cloud, however, is a very tired ship. It is screaming for an upgrade. The furniture is a bit ragged and ...

Amazing destination, great experience - but cut short

We chose this itinerary specifically - the Falklands, South Georgia, South Shetlands, Elephant Island (Shackelton) and the Antarctic peninsula plus cruising Cape Horn on the way in to Puerto Williams. We got the first three but not the last three. With the itinerary, Silversea was the only line (this year) that offered "the whole experience." The Silver Cloud staff were fantastic, the ship was ...

We booked this cruise 3 years ago before COVID hits. We finally got to go after many cancel, and price increase. May be we had bad luck, regardless, the Silverseas did not make it right for us. Overall it was disappointing for us. On the day we start the journey, we loss a pre-cruise hotel night to tour and rest due to tornado at Dallas, notice was last minute just hours before boarding ...

This cruise started in Dakar and we got off in Rio de Janeiro. It went on to Buenos Aires with some of the passengers and some new ones. On this cruise we booked door to door service which was a first for us and which was it a mixture of good and bad. For example the car service hired by Silversea to pick us up and bring us back from JFK was great. Arrivals and departures at hotels reserved by ...

Great time with the expedition but sub-par hotel services

This was my first time on an expedition cruise. Overall, it was a memorable trip, having a chance to get showed by an enthusiastic expedition team in this pristine part of the world. In fact, the expedition team was the highlight of this cruise. They were resourceful, upbeat and passionate. The itinerary of activities was diverse, from cruising along the ice edge, hiking the glacier, to doing a ...

I did two back to back, supposedly expedition, cruises from London to Svalbard. After many years of traveling almost exclusively with Silversea, I am heartbroken to join the other reviewers who say, "Never again." The cruise was supposed to be on the Wind. Silversea changed it to the Cloud after I had booked. I am a long time Explorer passenger, a wonderful ship that they have now sold ...
