Detailed answer
Silver Shadow was built by T. Mariotti in Genoa, Italy, and delivered on Saturday 2 September 2000, then christened in Civitavecchia on Thursday 14 September 2000. It was Silversea's third ship, after Silver Cloud and Silver Wind, and its sister is Silver Whisper. It has a gross tonnage of 28,258 and a length of 186 metres, and carries 382 guests in 194 suites with a crew of about 300; the guest figure matches the port listing. A major modernisation in 2019, carried out in Malta, added a new atrium on deck 5 and upgraded the suites, corridors and most public spaces, including the La Dame restaurant, Connoisseur's Corner and the casino. Other venues include The Restaurant, La Terrazza, The Grill, the Panorama Lounge, the Observation Lounge and the spa.
How busy will town be?
The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.
Can you sail on it from nearby?
Yes, from Lisbon. The call on Wednesday 18 August 2027 falls during a ten-night voyage from Villefranche-sur-Mer, near Nice, to Lisbon that leaves on Wednesday 11 August 2027 and arrives on Saturday 21 August 2027. From Lisbon the ship crosses the Atlantic on Saturday 21 August 2027, sold as 12 nights to New York or 23 nights to Montreal, and it then spends the autumn sailing between New York and Montreal. The port listing expects mainly American passengers.
