Personal Review of Silver Shadow - My Favourite Aspect

One aspect of cruising that I think is overlooked is the general ambience of the ship and on Silver Shadow there's one area that I absolutely adore - the onboard art collection.

All ships of course have their own art - normally in the gallery with an art auction listed in the daily programme.  Silver Shadow chooses to put its art front and centre, with all the public areas containing and impressive selection of different art from paintings, etchings and ceramics.  

I'm no great art expert and would not profess to know any more than the old adage "I know what I like" but with the Shadow's collection of modern art and sculpture including Dali and Miro, the selection is very much to my taste and adds much to the onboard experience.  Even the art above my bed "Self portrait with Guillaume" by Paul Cezanne, shows the attention to providing something above and beyond.

One of course must remember to stop once in a while and admire what is displayed.  It is easy to rush past a multi-thousand dollar sculpture on the way to lunch or dinner, so making the time to slow down and take some time is important not to forget.

 I just wish I had a budget to invest for my own home.
