Creator's Key Takeaways

I came to really love this ship when I first bought it my initial reaction was I thought it looked a little bit dated however I really came to appreciate the look and feel and Design of the ship

the Silver Cloud was originally built in 1994 it was converted in 2017 from a cruise ship into an expedition ship it became an ice class 1C

silvercloud has a very wide Choice again for an expedition ship of dining there's actually five dining options Al together

the only niggle that I had of everything that was that in the evenings if you wanted to have something quick and fast your only real option was really to have room service cuz there was no quick and fast option

YouTube Video Description

Silversea Cruises Silver Cloud was converted into an expedition ship from as regular cruise ship in 2017. I went on the shop to Antarctica and I share my thoughts about the ship, what I liked and what thought had some opportunities. I take you on a tour of the ship and a Verandah suite (the main class of suites on the ship), and discuss the facilities, features and the choices available on this luxury expedition cruise ship.
