SILVER WIND — 298 guests
In late 2008, Silver Wind emerged from a month of dry-dock construction and refurbishments with fresh décor and upgraded interiors. Enticing enhancements include a new ocean-view spa, Observation Lounge, and eight new suites.

A shining example of intimate Italian cruising. Fewer guests, combined with more space and Silversea’s signature six-star personalised service make for the ultimate sailing experience.
