Taking Silversea’s award-winning concept of all-suite luxury to the next level, these two sister ships – Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper – are slightly larger, yet retain the familiarity and intimacy of Silversea’s two earlier ships. Aboard the Silver Whisper cruise ship, savour a convivial cosmopolitan ambience and many special amenities usually found only on larger ships, including boutique shopping; a wellness spa with beauty salon, fitness centre and sauna; full-scale productions in a multi-tiered show lounge; an Internet Café and WiFi service from stem to stern.
In 2012 Silver Whisper visits Brazil then explores South Africa and the fantastic Indian Ocean landscapes – east to the marvels of the South China Sea, west to the storied Arabian Sea and Egypt. Spring and summer reveal Europe at its best before arriving in Canada for autumn’s vibrant fall foliage. Silver Whisper’s globetrotting pace slows with soothing Caribbean sailings through year’s end.
Aboard the Silver Whisper cruise ship, 2013 begins with a 115-day World Cruise with segment points in Papeete, Sydney, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mauritius and Cape Town. Next up: Northern Europe voyages that include three nights in St Petersburg, Norwegian fjord cruising, and new in-depth Baltic experiences. September offers a popular 16-day Atlantic crossing from Southampton to Montreal with calls in Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland. Lingering in Canada and New England for fall foliage season, Silver Whisper eventually seeks out some Caribbean warmth, retreats for a quick 14-day dry-dock, and returns refreshed just in time for the holidays and a 16-day Panama Canal cruise.
