Silver Wind deck plans

MS Silver Wind (1995-built, last refurbished in 2021) is the second and among the oldest Silversea ships, preceded by her sistership Silver Cloud. Silver Wind and Silver Cloud are also the smallest vessels in the fleet—just 16,800 GT—with a passenger capacity of around 300 guests. This is roughly half the size of the fleet’s newest and largest ships. Like all Silversea cruise ships, Wind is an ultra-luxury vessel operated with all-inclusive packages, luxury hotel-style amenities, and impeccable service.

Silver Wind’s deck plan shows a total of 148 staterooms (all suites) for 274 passengers (maximum capacity 355) served by 197 crew and staff. The vessel has 9 decks (6 passenger-accessible, 5 with cabins), 4 restaurants, 5 lounges and bars, 1 swimming pool, 2 Jacuzzis (outdoor whirlpool hot tubs), and 4 elevators.

One passenger-use laundromat (butler- and self-service laundry facility) is located on Deck 4. Detergent is provided.

Silver Wind is considered one of the world’s top luxury cruise choices in the premium market segment. Silversea’s all-inclusive concept means that all onboard beverages are complimentary (including wines, premium spirits, champagne, and the in-suite minibar and refrigerator), as well as gratuities.

When booking Silver Wind cruise deals, it is advisable to also make dining reservations for the specialty restaurants you wish to visit. These include La Champagne (French cuisine, 20 seats) and La Terrazza (Italian cuisine, 70 seats).
