Silver Whisper cruise ship facts

• 2001 launched
• 2018 refurbished

Silver Whisper is like a resort, but has the feel of a boutique hotel. Our Silver Whisper review has fly-through videos and explains what makes her unique.

• Silver Whisper inclusions
• Dining delights

• Who sails on Silver Whisper
• Review conclusion

Silver Whisper has everything you’d expect to find in an up-market resort, but it has the feel of a boutique hotel. Our Silver Whisper review explains what makes the ship unique.

• Intimate, club-like atmosphere.
• Private teak verandas.
• Seriously good dining.
• It’s all good!

The Silver Whisper deck plan is easy to get around. There are a total of 7 passenger decks, the highest of which is deck 10.

• Reception : Deck 5
• Accommodation : Decks 4 to 9
• Main dining room : Deck 4
• Theatre : Deck 6
• Observation lounge : Deck 10

Silver Whisper debuted in 2001. She was the first in the new Millennium-class of ships for Silversea. Silver Whisper is larger and more spacious than earlier ships in the Silversea fleet. Indeed, Silver Whisper has room for 382 pampered guests in all-suite accommodation.

Silver Whisper has a very high space-to-passenger ratio. In fact she has more space per guest than almost any other cruise ship. As our Silver Whisper review shows, this fosters a close-knit atmosphere of camaraderie among the guests.

The luxurious Silver Whisper received a makeover in 2017. All the suites got new carpet as well as fresh sofa coverings. In addition, the public areas also got a fcae lift. Indeed, the makeover has been a great success. This luxury cruise ship looks like new with a contemporary decor that echoes the Silversea Italian heritage.

Your cruise fare on Silver Whisper is all inclusive. Everything is paid for. That includes meals, as well as wines, spirits and Champagne. On our Silver Whisper review sailing the house Champagne was Heidsieck Monopole Blue Top. We thought it was a very good drop!

Also included in the cruise fare are gratuities. So tipping is not required or expected. However, we would recommend tipping staff who go the extra mile. For example, if they arranging a cocktail party in your suite (which they are happy to do).

There is a free shuttle service between the port and the town if it is not near by.

Guests can also use the free self-service laundries.

For an additional charge guests can dine in the speciality restaurant Le Dame, or purchase premium alcoholic beverages.

Dining is a foodies delight on Silver Whisper. Indeed, Silversea have a great and well deserved reputation when it comes to food, as you will see from our Silver Whisper review.

Silver Whisper gets fresh produce from local markets whenever possible. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional. So the chefs regularly achieve gastronomic excellence.

The luxury cruise ship has four dining venues, these include La Terrazza, Le Dame, The Grill and the main dining room which is simply known as The Restaurant. Our Silver Whisper review covers them all.

In-suite dining is also available 24-hours a day.

In addition, the Observation Lounge serves and early risers breakfast. The Panorama Lounge also offers a traditional high tea each afternoon.

A single word can describe the dress code on Silver Whisper: Elegant. Shipboard attire ranges from casual to formal depending on the time of day.

In the public areas smart resort-wear is recommended during the day. After dark the dress code will be either casual, informal or formal. The daily Chronicle newsletter will indicate this.

For gentlemen casual attire includes open-neck shirts and slacks, for women it’s pants, blouses, skirts and casual dresses. Informal wear includes jackets for gentlemen (tie optional) and dresses or pantsuits for ladies. On formal nights during our Silver Whisper review most guests enjoyed dressing up. Gentlemen should wear a Tuxedo or dark suit and ladies should wear an evening gown.

The number of casual, informal and formal nights will depend on the length of your Silver Whisper voyage. Cruises of less than 10 days have one formal night, cruises between 10 and 13 days have two, while longer cruises have three formal evenings.

On formal nights, guests may dine in La Terrazza or The Grill and choose to dress informal. Although on our Silver Whisper review voyage most guests enjoyed dressing up.

Silver Whisper is a popular luxury cruise ship with a loyal following, so many passengers are return guests. They have usually travelled widely. Most are aged over 50.

Guests on Silver Whisper usually come from the U.S.A. and U.K. However there is often a large contingent from Canada and Australia on board too. A relatively small number of Europeans sail on Silver Whisper.

As with all Silversea cruise ships, Silver Whisper is gay-friendly.

With all the facilities of an up-market resort and the charm of a boutique hotel there’s a lot to love about the Silver Whisper. The personalised service, spacious suites and world-class dining all scored highly in our Silver Whisper review. In fact we rate Silver Whisper among the World’s finest luxury cruise ships.

Enjoyed your article.

Thank you for your kind words Jane. Most appreciated.

Jason Kerr Managing Editor

This article is right on. My wife and I did a 14 day cruise on Silver Whisper to the Caribbean and had a wonderful time on the ship. Of the dining venues discussed in the article, “The Restaurant” is mentioned almost as an afterthought; we found it excellent too. We also were most impressed with the crew we met and dealt with. All of them were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Had a great time on Silver Whisper on our third SilverSea cruise.

I have a question please we are going on the silver Whisperer for Christmas and I’m interested in knowing how the curtains secured between the bedroom and the living room. Do we need to bring clips or something to keep it closed if one of us decides to sleep in. Thank you so much I am so excited and looking forward to our trip

Dear Cheryl

When I’ve sailed on Silver Whisper the curtains were always heavy, blackout type. When drawn closed almost no light was visible. I don’t think clips are necessary.

I hope this helps in your travel planning.

Kind regards Jason Kerr Managing Editor

Silver whisper.

Gary Bembridge

Cruiseclout score: 95.0, silver whisper: exploring exotic ports in style & comfort.

Competing in the ultra-luxury segment alongside lines like Seabourn, Crystal and Regent Seven Seas, Silversea is a small privately owned line with a strong Italian influence and heritage. The focus is on offering a comfortable, stylish and personal approach to cruising with an emphasis on food and service.

The Silver Whisper is a small ship carrying just under 400 guests with a high crew-to-passenger ratio who try to ensure that they get to know and pre-empt the needs of their guests. It attracts guests who are very interested in the destinations and ports of call but want to travel in luxury while doing it.

Cruising on the Silver Whisper I discovered that small ship cruising did not mean doing without facilities and activities. There is everything you need, including choice of restaurants, a fitness centre, shops, spa, pool and quiet spots to hide away in. The ship is also able to dock in towns inaccessible to bigger ships, for example in St. Petersburg and Helsinki we were right in the city while the big ships were some miles away in commercial ports without the scenery of the city.

All-inclusive that means all-inclusive

The fares are all-inclusive which means hardly ever having to get your card out and constantly thinking about the bill you are stacking up. There is no drive to get you to spend on board either and so there is no constant flow promotional leaflets with inches of gold, photograph and portrait offers, cocktail of the day, drinks packages or art auctions. Even the tours are discreetly promoted, with listings of what they are and proper historical and cultural talks on destinations by an expert, not the tour team promoting the tours.

The venues and ship is quieter as there are less people. The pool was never crowded, there were always seats in the show lounge and the tours only had up to 25 people on them, which meant more attention by the tour guides, and loads of room on the bus. Getting on and off the ship was easy with no lines or crowds and was fast once docked. Even on disembarkation day.

There are very few children, as this is not a ship with the facilities that would keep kids and teens entertained. 

The luxury touches are subtle but plenty such as the huge range of choice of ways you can have your eggs cooked, the luxury brand names in toiletries, linen, coffee and types of beef and the loungers around the pool are plusher and more comfortable than any I have ever lolled about on. There was concierge service open at every port who could help direct you and give specific tips. They even knew off by heart the exact bus numbers and stops for buses to obscure local beaches when we had a craving for some beach time.

Who will like sailing on Silver Whisper

Cruise guests looking to combine adventure travel with luxury will enjoy a cruise on Silver Whisper. The itineraries and routes are designed to take guests off the beaten path as well as some of the iconic and important ports, and so attract a more adventurous traveler for whom the destination is as important as the way they travel.

The average age is 50s, 60s and 70s in line with the luxury nature and price of the line and are mostly couples. Compared to some of the other ultra-luxury lines they are more focused, in my view, on the ports and so are more adventurous and less concerned with getting dressed up for meals. The overall atmosphere is more relaxed and informal.

The guests are likely to be from many regions but are primarily from the United States. The line operates as an English-speaking line and so guests need to be comfortable in this environment.

Dining on Silver Whisper

The restaurant.

The main dining room, The Restaurant serves up contemporary, international cuisine. Menus feature regional specialties unique to the destinations guests visit on their cruise. For example, roasted Chilean sea bass is served while cruising the Chilean fjords, and Indian chicken korma, while en route to Mumbai. The Restaurant on board this cruise ship offers open-seating dining, which means there are no assigned times and no assigned tables. You are free to dine when, where and with whom you please.

La Terrazza

Italian food that embraces the principles of the Slow Food movement, using fresh, sustainable and local ingredients For example, La Terrazza uses buffalo mozzarella from Naples, organic balsamic vinegar and olive oil from Umbria, and air-dried ham out of Parma. The Emilia-Romagna region also produces Silversea’s 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano, while the pasta is made daily right on board. La Terrazza is open for casual, buffet-style breakfast and lunch with indoor or al fresco dining on the outdoor terrace. During the evening, the restaurant transforms into an à la carte traditional Italian restaurant which is the only time you need to make a booking.

Le Champagne

The only Wine Restaurant by Relais & Chateaux at sea can be found aboard the ships of Silversea including the Silver Whisper. Indulge in an evening where fine wines are complemented by a set tasting menu of regionally inspired dishes in an intimate, elegant setting. Reservations are necessary for dinner. The experience requires a per-guest, reservation fee of $40.

Pool Bar & Grill

Casual and convenient. Poolside menu options feature healthy CruiseLite selections and light fare for lunch and dinner including grilled meats and fresh-from-the-oven pizza. At night, the top deck of the Pool Bar & Grill is transformed into The Grill, an intimate al fresco eatery featuring a fun, interactive Black Rock Grill experience. A preheated volcanic rock is brought to your table, allowing you to cook such delicacies as steak, veal, pork, lamb, salmon, fish or prawns exactly to your liking right at your own table. Reservations are required for dinner.
