Silversea Cruises has released the first pictures of the newly refurbished Silver Shadow.

The 19-year-old ship recently emerged from dry dock after becoming the latest vessel in the line’s fleet to undergo a major refit.

Decorative crystal artwork from lifestyle brand Lalique in the La Dame restaurant, a complete floor-to-ceiling revamp of suites and a new atrium are among the enhancements.

In addition, the Connoisseur’s Corner and Casino have both been relocated and refurbished and new outdoor furniture has been added to the pool deck, suite balconies, La Terrazza and the Panorama Lounge. 

“Silversea has evolved in recent times and we felt the need to reflect this evolution in Silver Shadow’s livery,” said Jose Vuolo, Silversea’s global creative director. 

“Elegant, understated, recognisable, Silver Shadow’s new aesthetic echoes our cruise line’s character, placing emphasis on the destination and our guests’ experiences."

Peter Shanks, managing director for the UK, Ireland, the Middle East and Africa, who joined guests for one of Silver Shadow’s first post-refurbishment sailings, added: “Our guests’ reactions to the enhanced Silver Shadow has been exceptional.

“Inspired by Silver Muse, the reimagined Silver Shadow has raised the bar higher still for our cruise line.”
