Yacht-like gems, Silver Cloud and Silver Wind are all about style, understatement, and personal choice. No one will lift an eyebrow if you eschew the activities offered and simply concentrate on a good book from the library. While there simply isn't room on these ships for huge rooms, the public spaces are more than adequate and designed to function well. Silver Cloud and Silver Wind served as the models for the larger twins, Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper, which came later and expanded on the smaller ships' concept of locating all passenger accommodations forward and public rooms aft.
