Two Silversea Cruises ships, head to head — specs, amenities, and what each one is genuinely better at.
Silver Origin (2020) is the newer ship by 26 years versus Silver Cloud (1994). Silver Cloud is the larger hull at 17,400 GT (~200% bigger). Silver Origin sails with fewer guests at double occupancy (100 vs 240).

| Tonnage | 17,400 GT | 5,800 GT |
| Guests (double occupancy) | 240 | 100 |
