Silversea Expeditions Silver Cloud Expedition Cruise Reviews for Luxury to Antarctica

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

We were VERY happy with every part of this cruise and think Silversea went above and beyond. We had a plane delay transiting Miami and Silversea took special care of us in Santiago and again when we got to Ushuaia. I agree with other reviewers that the Expedition Staff were OUTSTANDING - even to the point of joining people for dinner to bring their love of Antarctica and share their wealth of ...

Can not fault the staff and service. Pampered and entertained throughout the trip. We took various combinations of Travacalm (scopolamine) / ondansetron tablets upon sailing from Ushuaia and noticed a number of people wearing patches. Some took promethasine which we avoided because it s too sedating. The ship is big enough to cope with the swell so that the Drake passage is tolerable . No ...

We originally booked and paid in full for an inaugural season voyage on the Muse which ended up being cancelled. We were never notified about the cruise being cancelled and because of that we were able to secure a discount on booking this cruise. We decided to book the 10 day Antarctica cruise on the newly renovated Cloud to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We booked and paid for the ...

We chose Silver Sea's trip to Antarctica on the Silver Cloud, as we researched the various ways to go see Antarctica, and even the more austere trips will cost around $10,000 per person with nowhere near the beautiful accommodations, expertise of the expedition team, or the ability to go safely ashore nearly every day. We cannot recommend this cruise more highly, and fear we have now set a very ...

We have travelled with Silversea several times (and with other cruise lines) and on Silver Cloud about 10 years ago when it was a regular luxury cruise ship. The only other Silversea Expeditions we have done was in the Galapagos which we also really enjoyed and is an interesting comparison. In both cases the cruise was excellent as were the crew and in particular the expedition guides. I would say ...

Overall We had a great cruise on the December 11, 2017 Antarctica departure of SilverSea Expedition's Cloud. Most every aspect of the cruise exceeded our expectations and our expectations were pretty high! Temperatures hovered around freezing while in Antarctica, though we had some sunny days and went about at times without our large coats / gloves. The ship can travel quite fast, and we ...

Silver Cloud provides a perfect combination of all-inclusive luxury and expedition cruising in Antarctica. The ship was stylishly refurbished in 2017 and offers all you expect of Silversea’s restaurant, bar and lounge facilities, though suites are not quite as large as on the line’s bigger vessels. Life doesn’t get better than fine dining with a view of icebergs and snow-covered mountains. The ...
