PUBLIC AREAS  

Silversea Silver Cloud passengers know that they are on a different type of ship from the moment they approach the ship. There are no lines for check in, and passengers are warmly greeted with a flute of champagne and a smiling Silver Cloud representative who leads you to your suite. The reception area is not a soaring atrium that challenges the senses or makes you wonder in amazement. The colors are muted and the atmosphere is peaceful. Embarking guests immediately feel that the main objective of the small Silversea Silver Cloud ship and her crew is to provide a relaxed, calming cruise vacation in a modern, simple, ultra-luxury atmosphere. Let's take a tour of the public areas on Silversea Silver Cloud.
 
Onboard guests will find a wide selection of entertainment ranging from production shows to classical music concerts in The Show Lounge, live piano music in The Bar, and local performers and folkloric shows that truly complement the destinations and cultures experienced on your voyage.
