About Silver Whisper
Silver Whisper, the sister of Silver Shadow, joined Silversea in 2001 after construction at the Mariotti yard in Genoa. She has 194 outside suites, most with teak balconies, and a generous amount of space per guest. In 2020 she set out on a 140-day world cruise that the pandemic cut short in March. Silversea lists a 2024 refurbishment. In 2026-27 she is based mostly in Papeete, sailing Tahiti and the South Pacific islands for much of the year, with an Alaska season between Vancouver and Seward in summer 2027.
