}} | Silver Cloud is a small cruise ship operated by Silversea Cruises, a privately owned luxury cruise line. She entered service in 1994 as Silversea's first ship. Her sister ship is the Silver Wind, launched in 1995.In summer, Silver Cloud generally sails on European itineraries (both the North Sea and the Mediterranean). In winter, she cruises in the Caribbean and South America. Cruises As of 2008[3] the ship cruises the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Atlantic Ocean with stops at the Bahamas and in the Caribbean Sea, as well as journeys to the Atlantic coast of South America. Some cruises take it through the Mediterranean Sea. It also passes the Suez Canal with cruises through the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf calling at ports along the route that normal tourists seldom visit, such as Jeddah[4][5] in Saudi Arabia. The Silver Cloud has been home to both the United States men's and women's national basketball teams during the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, Brazil.[6] {{clear left}} Features In winter 2018, Silversea Cruises added “My Photo Academy” on Silver Cloud's cruises to Antarctica.[7] References Notes1. ^Ship details by "Largay Travel"
