Silver Spirit deck plans

MS Silver Spirit (2009-built, last refurbished in 2021) is the largest cruise ship in the Silversea fleet - with a similar design to the fleetmate Silver Muse (2017). Silversea's Spirit ship, just like all its fleet mates, is a top luxury cruise ship operated with all-inclusive deals. Its design is elegant, with graciously spacious cruise accommodations, cosy and comfortable public rooms, 5-star hotel amenities and the highest level of service.

Silver Spirit cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 270 staterooms (all suites) for 540 passengers (max capacity is 648 guests), served by 376 crew/staff. The boat has 12 decks (9 passenger-accessible, 8 with cabins), 5 restaurants, 9 lounges and bars, 1 pool, 3 jacuzzies, 6 elevators. Passenger use laundrettes (butler- and self-service laundry facilities) are located on cabin decks 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. Detergent is provided.

Silver Spirit is among the not so many cruise vessels providing top luxury deals on the premium all-inclusive market. All Silversea deals as prices are inclusive of the onboard drinks (including alcohol /fine wines, premium spirits, champagnes, in-room mini-bar beverages), also of tipping/gratuities and the Wi-Fi Internet (since 2016).

When booking your Silver Spirit cruise deals, it is advisable to make also dining reservations for the speciality restaurant(s) you wish to visit. Those are La Champagne (French /24 seats), Seishin (Japanese /24 seats) and La Terrazza (Italian, in the evenings only /70 seats).

MS Silver Spirit deck plan changes 2018 refurbishment review

At the end of September 2017, Silversea announced plans for the company's first-ever ship lengthening project.

During drydock 2018 (March 5 - May 3, done by the Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri at Palermo shipyard, Sicily), MS Silver Spirit was lengthened by inserting a prebuilt midsection (length 15 m / 49 ft). This made Silver Spirit the world's first stretched luxury cruise ship. The new section (hull and superstructure) added to the liner a total of 34 new cabins (6x Silver Suites, 26x Veranda Suites, 2x Panorama Suites).

During the drydock refit, the ship was also extensively refurbished and updated. The project's purpose was to enhance shipboard amenities and redesign all public areas to resemble Silversea’s newest boats Silver Muse and Silver Moon.

Despite the overall size increase, the vessel retained its intimate feel with a crew-to-passenger ratio of 1:1,5.

Following the refit, to the ship were also added new dining options. All existing staterooms and venues were fully renovated. The pool deck was redesigned. New Health & Fitness centre was created. To the existing restaurants were added the new Indochine (replacing Le Champagne), Atlantide (replacing the main dining room), Silver Note (supper club with live music) and Spaccanapoli (outdoor dinner restaurant / daily bar for fast food and drinks). All food menus were upgraded.

Arts Cafe (a multipurpose venue with live performances, gourmet coffees and teas) and Silver Note (themed food dinner restaurant with live music and dance floor) were added aft on deck 8.

The Casino Lounge was moved (from deck 8 to deck 7) and on its place was added Silver Note. Dolce Vita (deck 5 Atrium Bar) is a new cocktail bar lounge with live grand piano music performances. The old "Spa at Silversea" (deck 6) was upgraded to Zagara Spa. The Library (deck 7) was transformed into Casino, and was created the new "Tor’s Observation Library".

All top-tier suites received new handcrafted toppers, handmade mattresses (Savoir) and smart HDTVs. A new category suite (Balsorano Suite) was added, decorated with items of personal value to Silversea Cruises chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d'Ovidio.

The vessel's GT tonnage was increased from 36009 to 39,519 tons. Its crew capacity was increased from 376 to 412. The passenger capacity was increased from 540 to 608 (12%), dining capacity (15%), outdoor seating (20%).

The refit project cost USD 70 million and involved over 500 workers, approx 450,000 man-hours, 846 tons of steel, 360,892 ft (110 km) of new cables, 26,247 ft (8 km) of new pipes.
