I've sailed with Silversea both as a host as well as a paying passenger. Frankly I've been concerned with how things have changed over the past year until this cruise on the Whisper. Little improvements I noticed with a lot more consistency. More smiles, eye contact and greeting by name from staff and crew. Helping passengers with their plates in the buffet. Holding the chair when sitting down. Serving bread instead of just leaving the basket on the table. Food has noticeably improved in all dining venues. Better quality meats. More choices on the menus. Hot meals were hot and cold meals were cold. Special requests were easily fulfilled according to some guests (in the past there was hesitation). I gave a 4* for dining because there's still room for improvement but was much better than Dawn (2024) or Vista (2024) Pool area was kept neat and tidy. Public bathrooms were extremely clean throughout the ship. Cabins - of course these are some of the largest at sea. Very comfortable. The butlers do a wonderful job being attentive and seemed disappointed if you didn't have something for them to do. Because this was port intense, onboard activities were not well attended as much as an itinerary with a lot of sea days
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.

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.
Pros: It's like a family you love to be part of.
Cons: Price point too high for most .

The reception staff worked so hard trying to locate luggage for myself and also 4 other staterooms that were missing their luggage as well. They contacted the agents in the ports of call and the agents were the ones to pick up my luggage and deliver both pieces to the ship. I had an opportunity to meet with the Future Cruise Consultant and he was extremely knowledgeable regarding upcoming cruises. Silversea cruises offered candy in your stateroom upon arrival which is something new. They also delivered sweets to your stateroom during the cruise. Having lost my luggage, the Whisper gave me essential sundry items I needed until my luggage was found. 5 Stars for Silversea Cruises.
Pros: Ship was refurbished recently and looks wonderful.
Cons: Requesting smaller bathrobes for ladies.

This is one of the few ships offering a Full World Cruise with plenty of formal evenings, live music, elegance and offers dancing with a dance instructor who are part of the Gentlemen and Lady host program. This feature is very appealing to solos, singles, widows and widowers. On this ship one never feel alone even if one chooses to dine alone. Despite the ship needing some significant refurbishment, Whisper may likely offer the best overall atmosphere for solo travelers desiring some luxury touches, at the current time. The single supplement was lower than what the competing lines were charging on the 2017 FWC. Deck 4 Vista suites were dominated by Solo passengers. 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.
Pros: 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.
