Silversea Cruises’ Silver Wind completed comprehensive refurbishment during two-week dry dock in Palermo, Italy

Monte Carlo, Monaco, 2013-11-27 — /travelprnews.com/ — Silversea Cruises’ Silver Wind has just completed a comprehensive refurbishment during a two-week dry dock in Palermo, Italy this month.

Major enhancements include a complete makeover for the ship’s speciality restaurant Le Champagne, the only Relais & Châteaux restaurant at sea. This popular dining venue has been entirely transformed with an upgraded entrance design, the addition of gleaming, backlit wine displays, a redesigned seating layout, and new wood flooring, fabrics and window treatments.

The ship’s suites, public spaces and dining venues have been freshened up with the installation of stylish new carpets, new upholstery and other soft goods in an overall colour palette of warm earth tones. The Bar, in particular, features all new furniture and furnishings in a contrasting colour scheme of cooler shades of teal mixed with neutral tones of brown and beige.

Other highlights include brand new tiling and deck furniture in the pool area and a redesigned buffet area in the speciality restaurant La Terrazza.

Rounding out the refurbishment was a fresh reconditioning and polishing of teak decks and woodwork. The ship also underwent thorough maintenance on mechanical and propulsion systems.
