When introduced in 2009, Silver Spirit was a radical new design for Silversea Cruises. How Does Silver Spirit Differ From The Rest Of The Silversea Fleet?
1. Passenger capacity. Silversea’s four other non-expedition vessels — Silver Wind, Silver Cloud, Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper — range from guest capacities of 296 guests to 382 guests.

Nonetheless, some Venetians disliked the larger size, preferring instead the line’s smaller vessels.

If you feel that sharing space with more than 500 other guests is more than you can tolerate, look to the line’s other ships, and if even they are too large, consider Silversea’s expedition vessels — Silver Explorer, Silver Discoverer and Silver Galapagos — that carry around 100 guests each.
