| Athens (Piraeus) | Friday, Nov 14, 2025 | Friday, Nov 14, 2025 |
| Piraeus is the seaport for Athens, the capital of western civilization, which boasts a fantastic mix of classical ruins and vivacious modern life. Climb the hill of Acropolis to wonder at the Parthenon, join the lively Athenians in Constitution Square, and find a welcoming taverna for spirited bizouki music, plenty of ouzo to drink, and energetic Greek dancing. Piraeus is the largest harbor in the country. The white chapel of St. George at its summit has a theater bearing the same name. The hill of Nymphs is the site of a planetarium, which is located above magnificent Thesseio temple. Among all of these hills, Acropolis is the one that glorified Athens and the whole Greek world and became the symbol of the western civilization. Bays and small rocky or sandy coves dot the area and during the summer are filled with Athenians and foreigners enjoying their beauty. | ||
| Santorini | Saturday, Nov 15, 2025 | Saturday, Nov 15, 2025 |
| Santorini is everything that has made the Greek islands legendary. The world famous island of Santorini is the southern most island of the Cycladic group in the Aegean Sea, and is located north of Crete. Its population is distributed among thirteen villages and just exceeds nine thousand. The marvelous dry climate and unbroken sunshine create year around conditions which are perfect for observation, photographs and videos under an extraordinary variety of natural lights and colors. | ||
| Rhodes | Sunday, Nov 16, 2025 | Sunday, Nov 16, 2025 |
| Rhodes is one of Greece’s favored vacation centers and was an important cultural center with a well-known School of Rhetoric attended by such greats as Cicero and Caesar. Rhodes' most famous attractions originated with the Knights of St. John, who occupied parts of the island from 1310 to 1522 and left a medieval town, dominated by the Palace of the Grand Masters and Knights' Hospital, which houses an Archaeological Museum with interesting exhibits of national archaeological finds. Rhodes has inspired many artists. The Old Town offers shopping opportunities and lively nightlife. At Mount Filerimos a church has been built on the site of an ancient temple. A popular excursion is to the charming village of Lindos. Its premier attraction, the ancient acropolis, stands atop sheer cliffs. Walls of a 13th-century Crusader castle enclose the site. Today, the winding path up to the acropolis is lined by stalls, where locals sell lace tablecloths and souvenirs. Mandraki Harbor's entrance is flanked by stone columns topped by figures of a stag and a hind, the town's heraldic animals. | ||
| Heraklion | Monday, Nov 17, 2025 | Monday, Nov 17, 2025 |
| Heraklion, the capital of Crete and its principal commercial port, is just three miles away from the fantastic ruins of the Palace of Knossos. Discovered in 1899 by Sir Arthur Evans and partially reconstructed, the elaborate Palace is believed to be the mythical Labyrinth of King Minos and the seat of ancient Minoan culture. The Archaeological Museum in Heraklion displays many of the treasures found during the excavations. | ||

| Siracusa | Wednesday, Nov 19, 2025 | Wednesday, Nov 19, 2025 |
| Sicilia is the favorite island of Gods in traditional poetry. The most powerful and biggest ancient city in Sicilia is Siracusa. Its name may come from the native word "Siraco", which means "marsh", due to the bogs which surrounded the city. Or it may derive from a Phenician etymology signifying the presence of seagulls on its rocky shores. Few cities of the ancient world had the importance Syracuse had in Magna Grecia, the ancient Greek settlements in Italy. The most spectacular monuments in the archeological area surrounded by colorful Mediterranean vegetation are the Greek amphitheatre and the Orecchio di Dionisio (Dionysius' Ear). Besides touring the Archeological Museum that contains beautiful objects, Ortigia Island, the heart of the old Greek city, is worth a visit. Outside the city limits is Eurialo Castle, an incredible structure built to protect the city from the Cathaginians, and Pantalica, the great rocky necropolis in Anapo Valley. | ||
| Valletta | Thursday, Nov 20, 2025 | Thursday, Nov 20, 2025 |
| Valletta is the capital of Malta. This remarkable fortified city with its massive bastions followed the most advanced Renaissance ideas in town planning, with streets laid straight on a grid looking over the Grand Harbour. Outside the 'City Gate' is the famous Triton Fountain. 'City Gate' has public buses and vendors selling soft drinks and all sorts of traditional fresh Maltese bread and sweets. Freedom Square shows an extraordinary capital with buildings of fine architecture of different tastes and styles ranging from the Mannerism to Baroque to Rococo to Neoclassicism. Valletta is a fascinating city for wandering around looking at what used to be the Knight's own cathedrals and Auberges. The city's backbone is Republic Street, which runs straight through the city center to Fort St. Elmo. Valletta has several narrow, steep side streets decorated with traditional Maltese pastel colored balconies and a statue on almost every street corner. There are plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants to choose from. | ||

| Cartagena (Spain) | Monday, Nov 24, 2025 | Monday, Nov 24, 2025 |
| Today Spain's major commercial port and naval base, Cartagena lies on the coast of Murcia, its great indented bay guarded by rocky promontories, each topped by a fort. The city contains the remains of old walls, a castle constructed probably in Carthaginian times, and a church that was formerly a 13th-century cathedral. Attractive promenades extend along the harbour, while to the northeast is the famous beach and watersports resort area of the lagoon-like Mar Menor. | ||
| Malaga | Tuesday, Nov 25, 2025 | Tuesday, Nov 25, 2025 |
| Malaga is a popular holiday destination - known as the birthplace of Picasso and for sweet Malaga dessert wines from vineyards outside of town. Points of interest include impressive Gothic architecture, remains of a Moorish castle and interesting museums. Malaga is a popular starting point for trips to Granada and resorts along Costa del Sol. Splendid Granada and famed Alhambra are the region’s most outstanding attractions. Magnificent Moorish palaces and fortifications contrast sharply with Christian churches from Spain’s 1492 Reconquest era. Ronda's incredible location affording spectacular views over the valley and distant hills. Malaga Fine Arts Museum holds works by Spanish artists of the 16th to 20th centuries and by artists from Malaga, including Picasso. Marbella, which has been favored by the rich and famous, is a very popular holiday and yachting resort destination. One of the first resorts of the Costa del Sol, Torremolinos has luxury hotels, busy plazas and shopping streets, a lively art scene, a Wax Museum created by Madame Tussaud, and a glitzy casino. | ||
| Seville (Cadiz) | Wednesday, Nov 26, 2025 | Wednesday, Nov 26, 2025 |
| Cadiz is an old city with Andalusian character. The magnificent Baroque cathedral and impressive mansions were built with gold. Cadiz’s modern-day treasure lies 30 minutes to the north in the rolling hills of Jerez - where production of the liquid gold, as the famous sherry is often called, ensures a booming economy. Visit one of the bodegas for a tour and tasting. The Historic City Center of Old Cadiz is a pedestrian zone for a pleasant stroll. The monument to "Las Cortes" is the Spanish Parliament established in Plaza de España. The 18th-century golden-domed Cathedral of Santa Cruz looms over the whitewashed houses. The dazzling interior contains a magnificent collection of sculptures and art objects. The Museum of History features an outstanding model of Cadiz in ivory and mahogany that illustrates what the town looked like at the end of the 18th century. The small, colorful Flower Market offers much local flavor. The Moorish-style Alameda Apodaca Gardens serve as a reminder of the Moors’ occupation in past centuries. | ||

| Lisbon | Friday, Nov 28, 2025 | Friday, Nov 28, 2025 |
| Portugal’s capital is an 18th-century city - elegant, open to the sea and carefully planned. Most places of interest are within easy walking distance. Rossio Square, the heart of Lisbon since medieval times, is an ideal place to start exploring. Many rebuilt houses with original façades provide stores and restaurants with modern interiors. High above Baixa is Bairro Alto - with its teeming nightlife. There are many monuments and museums, such as San Jeronimos Monastery, Royal Coach Museum and Gulbenkian Museum. Two well-known landmarks are the Monument to the Discoveries and the Tower of Belem. A statue of Christ looms above Europe’s longest suspension bridge. Madragoa, Bica and Bairro Alto, Lisbon’s older sections, offer a variety of sights: the Church of Sao Roque, with its beautiful tiles; St. George Castle, which offers a splendid view from its location above the Alfama quarter; the botanical gardens, featuring an unusual, cold greenhouse; and the cathedral, stunning with its Moorish design. Renowned Gulbenkian Museum is the cultural center of Portugal. | ||

Each Silversea ship is equipped with a Medical Centre, which is customarily staffed by a doctor and nurse on 24-hour call when at sea. When docked, supplementary emergency care may also be obtained through local medical facilities.
At the time of booking, expectant mothers are required to supply a medical certificate establishing their fitness for travel at the time they are due to travel. Silversea is unable to accommodate women who have entered their twenty-fourth (24th) week of pregnancy during their voyage, and will not be responsible or liable for any complication relative to any pregnancy during the entire duration of the cruise or thereafter. Additionally, airlines may have restrictions that may differ from Silversea’s. Please contact your travel professional or airline.
In consideration of evolving consumer trends, and to further promote a safe, comfortable and enjoyable environment for all Silversea guests, staff and crew, the smoking policy was updated on January 1, 2013.
Smoking is NOT allowed in:
- Guest suites and guest suite verandas
- All Public Areas, Lounges and Bars
Smoking (including Cigars, Pipes and Cigarettes) is allowed in:
- The Connoisseur's Corner.
- In addition, tables and seating have been made exclusively available outside the Panorama Lounge, the Pool Bar, and specified areas of open decks.
- Tables and seating have been made available outside La Terrazza for cigarette smoking exclusively.
Guests who rely upon wheelchairs must bring their own. Please note that not all shore excursions are suitable for guests with impaired mobility.
All guests are required to report in writing to Silversea at the time their reservation is made:
- Any physical or mental condition that may require medical or professional treatment or attention during the voyage
- Any condition that may render the guest unfit for travel, or that may require special care or assistance
- Any condition that may pose a risk or danger to the guest or anyone else onboard the ship
- Any condition that may require oxygen for medical reasons
- Any intention or need to use a wheelchair aboard ship.
By booking passage and by boarding the ship, the guest represents and warrants that they are physically and otherwise fit to travel, and that the guest will comply at all times with applicable rules and regulations of the ship and orders and instructions of the ship's officers and medical staff. Silversea reserves the right, without liability, to require a guest to disembark and/or to refuse to board and transport a guest who, in the judgment of Silversea or the ship's Master, is unfit to travel or may require care beyond that which Silversea is reasonably able to provide. Those guests requiring wheel-on and/or wheel-off access must contact Silversea prior to making a booking. Silversea reserves the right to deny boarding to any guest who failed to notify Silversea of such requirement at the time of booking.
Silversea ships are equipped to offer wireless (Wi-Fi) Internet access. Guests can use their own laptop to surf the Internet and check emails at Wi-Fi locations throughout the ship, or from the comfort and privacy of their suite. Computers, email and Internet access are also available on board at the Internet Café. However, it is important to understand that telecommunication services while at sea are via satellite and significantly different than high-speed connections on land back home. The signal travels in a similar manner to radio waves but at much greater distances. Therefore, onboard Internet access is not guaranteed at all times. Satellite communications are also affected by weather and the ship's location.
Internet Service Fees
The same rates apply, whether accessing the Internet via personal laptop or via the Internet Café computers. All charges are posted directly to guests' onboard account. No credit is given for unused Time Plan minutes. Rates shown are in US dollars and are subject to change.

The Medical Centre is not intended or designed to provide on-going treatment of pre-existing conditions or for extended critical care, and Silversea is not responsible for the diagnosis, treatment or services furnished by shipboard medical personnel. Guests may be charged for medical services and for medications used for their medical treatment.

Submit Your Own Review!Amazing Staff
Pros: Amazing Staff
Cons: Live music in the bar should have started earlier than 6pm
Review:
Despite full load, dining reservations were quite flexible, staff tried to please, hotel manager Miranda very good, F& B Matteo also helpful. Shore excursions well managed.
Pros: Despite full load, dining reservations were quite flexible, staff tried to please, hotel manager Miranda very good, F& B Matteo also helpful. Shore excursions well managed.
Cons: This is an old ship. Lots of noise in 4th floor with wave action. Distinct sewer scent at various times and places. Missed a port due to waves.
Review: My 40th cruise on Silversea and the Whisper has not been this good for a long time. Crew also excellent. Renovation of ship in past year mixed success. No more shops, just some open plan displays on Deck 5 lounge. Woodwork in rooms and verandas nit in the best shape. No more auto fresh fruit-on request. No more hot breakfast after 10 thru room service. However, food which is never a wow and rarely hot was consistently better and almost always delivered hot.
Smaller ship. I think this is the perfect size for Silversea and so did many guests.
Pros: Smaller ship. I think this is the perfect size for Silversea and so did many guests.
Cons: Plastic plants on the pool deck. Silversea is better than plastic.
Review:
service was excellent
Pros: service was excellent
Cons: Too much time on the water. Not much to do on boat due to cool weather, and rough water
Review: Wish land excursion would have been longer. Everything seemed rushed. Said you could eat, shop, and tour different things. In reality you only had 1 hour and could only do one thing. We would get back to the boat which didn’t leave for 4-6 hours. Disappointing
Staff was fantastic, food was delicious
Pros: Staff was fantastic, food was delicious
Cons: The tours could have been better . Not up to first class standard , ship needs to be refreshed and updated
Review: Great trip
Beautiful ship once it is refurbished, large stateroom, food was tasty but could have been a little more healthy (less butter and cream), friendly crew
Pros: Beautiful ship once it is refurbished, large stateroom, food was tasty but could have been a little more healthy (less butter and cream), friendly crew
Cons: The ship needs to be refurbished. Tour options were lacking. It was repositioning and there was a lot of staff training so not all aspects ran smoothly
Review: I would recommend Silversea as a wonderful cruise line. My review should not be based on the fact that this was a repositioning cruise and is scheduled to go into dry dock later this year. There was a port originally on the itinerary, which would have enabled 2 days at sea, port visit and 2 more days at sea. The port is Russian so it was deleted, which made for a long 5 days at sea. Since the Whisper is small and the weather was cold, the outside facilities were not utilized (Outdoor restaurant, pool, jacuzzi, etc.). There were activities inside (lectures, trivia, bingo, etc) but it was the same everyday and it appeared that guests were getting bored. The entertainment schedule was changed a few times and the communication was not always perfect. Many guests were on waitlist for tours and never cleared, even though the tours were included. I would have loved to see more culturally immersion tours-seems to be the way travel is heading. I feel the cruise was nice but not anything special (based on tours, entertainment, crew training).
The staff is professional, courteous and friendly. The ship is first class.
Pros: The staff is professional, courteous and friendly. The ship is first class.
Cons: The dining options are limited, only 3 options, which is important on a longer cruise.
Review: Its a beautiful ship, as are all Silversea ships. But as noted above, this was a 16 day cruise and more dining choices and public areas would been nice. Silver Whisper is one of their smaller ships.
staff members and servers were attentive and thoughtful
Pros: staff members and servers were attentive and thoughtful
Cons: condition of the ship was
Review: the Whisper is currently not up to the fine standard of Silversea. Stained carpets in hallways, table on balcony worn and scuffed, scuffed paint in various places on the ship it would have been nice to have the cruise director or similar person give live talks each day about the excursions for the next day. they are available on the TV but in person experts would be better. the cooking class of how to make casa dias was amazingly silly - everyone knows how to make these already. something challenging would have been nice. if there are formal evenings during the cruise it would be good to have been made aware in the cruise information given.
It's like a family you love to be part of.
Pros: It's like a family you love to be part of.
Cons: Price point too high for most .
Review: The World Cruise isn’t just about the Destinations. When you’re onboard, you can expect to be continuously spoiled and entertained. The world is expanded and explained by enrichment expert lecturers and time for the varied activities programs, The food is exceptional and nothing rivals the stellar personal service of the crew - from.the laundry worker to the waiters to butler to the officers.
Service Outstanding. Personnel very Professional. Food well above average. Lectures outstanding.
Pros: Service Outstanding. Personnel very Professional. Food well above average. Lectures outstanding.
Cons: Certain brands of alcohol were in short supply. There was no attempt to rectify even when in port.
Review: I really enjoyed this cruise although I was ill prepared for the unusually early cold spell. For the first several days, the temperatures were below freezing which limited the outdoor activities. The warmth was there in the ship. Great lectures (Female Astronaut Kathy Sullivan), professional crew, friendly atmosphere and plenty of opportunities to meet and greet. I give this experience a very good report because of the staff.
Ship was refurbished recently and looks wonderful.
Pros: Ship was refurbished recently and looks wonderful.
Cons: Requesting smaller bathrobes for ladies.

Service and food is superb. La Dame restaurant is excellent.
Pros: Service and food is superb. La Dame restaurant is excellent.
Cons: None
Review: Service from staff and all members of the ship was exceptional. The food was great with wonderful wine selections, and prices were much less than expected.
Outstanding loyal crew, exceptional service, intimacy you cannot achieve on many larger vessels, plenty of creature comforts in even the lead in Vista suites on Deck 4 . Generous size as Veranda suites (287 sq ft) just no balcony- walk in closets, butlers for every suite level, Veranda Suites are 345 sq feet with the veranda, My favorite suite is Silver Suite which are 701 sq feet, the wideness makes it like a little condo with separate bedroom, dining table bar, 2 TV areas. Shuttle buses are included free in most of the ports. This ship is dated, but it has got the right formula for intimate comfort. Love the open seating in Dining room, and the other restauants are easy to secure a reservation, not like other ships, where couples are begging the maitre d for a reservation as a $50 is slipped in the pocket. Not necessary here you are usually accommodated. The enrichment speakers are excellent, a statesman, a music director and jazz great John Altman, former BA Concorde Captain Rick, Roger MCGuinn of The Byrds-Turn turn turn. Legendary brilliant Cruise Director Fernando, Tracy Apple Ipad classes, The Voices of Silversea entertainment, with an operatic focus yet versatile, may be the best group of young talent on any ship. The list goes on.

Cons: Ship needs some TLC in drydock, pool decking issuws, pool furniture, some modern updates needed, Fitness class area too small for comfortable classes, needs some new plumbing and water tanks.
Review:
Very easy was embarkation in San Francisco at the cruise terminal. And because of the size of the ship and the outstanding crew, rarely will you find a queue. We left port from San Francisco off to 5 days at sea before reaching Hilo, Hawaii. Days at Sea were a perfect opportunity to settle in, sample the various activities and shows, and well just get to know each other. The ship visited Hilo, Maui, Honolulu then sailed 5 days at sea to reach Samoa, we crossed the international dateline and lost a day. Then on to Tonga, 2 days at sea, to Auckland, NZ. From there we sailed New Zealand then Australia from Newcastle, Sydney Melbourne, Adelaide, Fremantle, Geralton, Exmouth ( beautiful town tournament fishing but with more flies than people) The main ports thereafter were in Bali, Palawan(spectacular beaches) Manila, Taiwan, Japan ( we crossed International Dateline again) Shanghai, Hong Kong, Viet Nam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Doha, Dubai, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Greece, Italy, Malta ending in Monaco.

Beautiful suites and well laid out. Even the minimum suites were very comfortable.
Pros: Beautiful suites and well laid out. Even the minimum suites were very comfortable.
Cons: Food was a little too bland. There should be some spicy options.
Review: This is a beautiful ship -- small enough to get around easily, but large enough to have options. Service was excellent and friendly. No formal nights on this itinerary.
Small ship, great food options, wonderful international staff.
Pros: Small ship, great food options, wonderful international staff.
Cons: We had to eventually come home.
Review: It's like coming home when we take a new voyage. The staff greets you by name after the first day. The restaurant menus change daily with many updated options. The ship is small, with very experienced world travelers as passengers. If you want a mega ship with rock climbing walls, etc. Silversea is not a good choice. But, if you want refined luxury with a relaxed atmosphere Silversea is the answer.
Very nice ship with two large dining venues and two lounges. Staterooms are roomy and bathroom is large. Service is terrific.
Pros: Very nice ship with two large dining venues and two lounges. Staterooms are roomy and bathroom is large. Service is terrific.
Cons: Food doesn't live up to billing and Relais and Chateaux connection. It's good, but not great. Menus are limited. Wine service is generous with lots of choices and non-stop pours. Cabin carpeting and fabrics are looking a bit tired.
Review: We sailed with a group of friends, enjoyed the cruise very much and would sail with Silversea again. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. It is somewhat misleading to say that Stockholm and Copenhagen are part of the cruise. They are starting and ending points, and to see them, you have to book extra time on your own or through the ship. Wi fi service was $30 per day and spotty at that. It will supposedly be offered at no charge beginning in 2016.
