Fresh
décor and enhanced amenities
Ultra-luxurious
Silver Wind features new
furnishings, draperies, and carpets as well as refreshed woodwork.
Suite interiors, such as the Verandah Suite pictured at left, are
enhanced with appealing new artwork, draperies, sofas, chairs,
headboards, and bedding topped with plush new duvets. In addition,
new carpeting is underfoot in many suites, public areas, stairways,
and corridors.
Exercise
and fitness buffs find the expanded Fitness Center now offers
panoramic sea views in its new location on Observation Deck (photo

is the Tranquility Room, a serene area for relaxation before or
between treatments in Silver Wind's top-rated spa.
With additions like Saletta, an alternative dining restaurant, and
Le Champagne, the wine and cigar room, Silver Wind offers more
options for discerning guests.
Saletta
Restaurant
Relais Gourmands, the cuisine-oriented division of Relais
& Chateaux, has contributed dishes for the select menu in
Saletta, an intimate alternative restaurant located on Deck Four
beside The Restaurant, Silver Wind's main dining room. Saletta is
open nightly for dinner only, when approximately 40 guests relish
the elegance and charm of the restaurant's old-fashioned Italian
accent pieces and luxurious accessories set amidst a rich color
scheme of crimson and soft gold. Reservations are recommended and
there is no additional charge for this gourmet dining experience.
Le
Champagne Wine and Cigar Room
To bring Silver Wind up to par with Silver
Shadow and Silver Whisper—her
newer and larger fleet mates—Le Champagne, the new wine and cigar
room was created on Deck Eight. In this cozy retreat, relaxing in
sumptuous leather chairs goes hand-in-hand with savoring a select
vintage or aperitif. After dinner, it's a haven for a nightcap
accompanied by a fine cigar.
Fitness
Center
Relocated to the Observation Deck, Silver
Wind's Fitness Center has been expanded and outfitted with new
carpet and furnishings. Guests are able to practice yoga, train with
the latest Pilates program, or work out utilizing state-of-the-art
fitness equipment while drawing inspiration from the breathtaking,
panoramic views of the ocean.
Tranquility
Room
Adjacent to the spa, the Tranquility Room's comfortable
chaise lounges and sofas beckon guests to relax, read a book, or
simply gaze at calming ocean views before or between spa treatments.
Pleasing artwork and a soothing soft azure and flaxen toned décor
evoke a sense of nature and well-being.
Library
In addition to rich cabinetry—which houses a wide
selection of books, tapes and amusements—new artwork, carpeting,
drapes, and inviting armchairs round out the Library's appointments
on Deck Four.
Internet
Point
Adjacent to the Library is Silver Wind's Internet Point. With six
private computer workstations at their fingertips, guests can
comfortably check their email and surf the Internet in high-back
executive style chairs. For those of us who can never be completely
out of touch with home or the office, the addition of two amenities
make cruising on Silversea a perfect fit—there
is cell phone service as well as WiFi connectivity for laptops
throughout the ships, including all suites.
