Details from Seatrade Insider:
"Silver Wind’s just-completed drydock at Genoa’s San Giorgio shipyard added a 60-seat observation lounge, a spa, a glass elevator and eight new suites. The overall décor was updated with touches of natural cherry wood and russet and golden tones. Other enhancements include new upholstery, curtains, wall treatments, carpets and/or flooring in public areas. The addition of a spa, beauty salon and fitness center on the forward section of Deck 9 altered the ship’s exterior appearance with floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap around the new space. With more than 650 additional square feet, the spa offers a reception area, four massage rooms, one body treatment room, a dry sauna and a steam sauna. The fitness center includes a separate aerobics room. The new two-floor, glass elevator connects Decks 8 and 9. Four Silver Suites were added on Deck 8, while Deck 7 gained one Owner’s Suite with a connecting second bedroom suite, one Medallion Suite and one Vista Suite. Work in the accommodations included the replacement of fixed queen beds in larger suites with convertible twin to queen beds, new flat-screen TVs, fresh soft goods and updated bathroom fixtures and tubs, including new marble countertops, walls and flooring. Silversea Cruises president and ceo Amerigo Perasso said the multimillion-dollar investment in Silver Wind was made to bring the ship in line with the style and design of newbuild Silver Spirit."

There is a rendering in the 2009 cruise atlas of Silverseas (should be available on their website).The result looks quite acceptable for a refit. The added structure above the bridge reminds me a bit of the old CROWN/REGAL PRINCESS.

I see they have unfortunately replaced the funnel logo with the word "Silversea", as Regent did a while back with its ships. Seabourn will no doubt follow and SeaDream may have to resort to splashing their name across the hull sides as their funnels are too small
Hopefully she might look better in other photos.
There is still no update on their website.
