An ice-strengthened hull will allow her to easily maneuver ice flows, while sweeping decks and panoramic views will ensure that sights like breaching whales or cavorting penguins are always within sight. Silver Cloud's guest capacity will also be limited to a maximum of 200, allowing more shore accessibility when sailing in polar waters.
A 2012 refurbishment included a fresh new interior look with artwork, carpeting, and wall treatments. Suites received brand new furnishings to modernize the already luxurious rooms.
