Departing Dubai on 4 December 2011, Silver Wind follows the majestic Hajar mountains along the coast of the Gulf and then calls at some of India's most fascinating cities and the 'Pearl of the Indian Ocean' - Sri Lanka. The voyage then continues to the amazing tiny islands and atolls that make up the Maldives before exploring the Seychelles archipeligo. Basking in winter sunshine, this cruise follows ancient trading routes to reveal a diverse and surprising view of the Indian Ocean.
 

About the ship - Silver Wind

Second in the Silversea fleet, Silver Wind is much like Silver Cloud and a shining example of intimate, elegant cruising. As spacious as a grand hotel, as gracious as a best friends’ home, the lifestyle on board Silver Wind is one of fewer guests, more space and features Silversea’s renowned personalised service. Recent Silver Wind ship refurbishments include upgraded interiors and enticing enhancements that include a new ocean-view spa, new Observation Lounge, and eight new suites.

2011 itineraries aboard Silver Wind begin in fascinating Dubai, visit India and exotic Oman, slip into the seductive Seychelles and trace Africa’s coastline from Mombasa to Cape Town to Morocco. Mediterranean destinations including the Black Sea ports and ancient Egypt fill the spring, summer and fall seasons. An encore of exotic Arabian ports and tranquil Seychelles islands close out the 2011 Silver Wind cruise year.

Silver Wind greets the 2012 New Year off the coast of exotic Madagascar then follows Africa’s west coast arriving with the springtime temperatures in the Mediterranean. Classic destinations from Spain to the Black Sea fill Silver Wind’s calendar through October until Egypt and Arabia beckon, and The Seychelles offer an idyllic escape. Silver Wind concludes the year as it began, bound for Madagascar.
