Silver Whisper deck plans

MS Silver Whisper (2001-built, last refurbished in 2018) is the fourth cruise ship in the Silversea fleet, preceded by Silver Cloud, Silver Wind, and the sistership Silver Shadow. Silversea’s Whisper and Shadow ships are larger versions of the line’s first two vessels. Like all Silversea ships, Whisper is operated with all-inclusive cruise deals, offering impeccable service and the highest level of luxury amenities at sea.

Silver Whisper cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 194 staterooms (all suites) for 388 passengers (maximum capacity 466), served by 295 crew and staff. The ship has 10 decks (8 passenger-accessible, 6 with cabins), 3 restaurants, 7 lounges and bars, 1 swimming pool, 2 Jacuzzis (outdoor whirlpool hot tubs), and 5 elevators.

Passenger laundrettes (butler- and self-service laundry facilities) are located on decks 4, 6, and 8. Detergent is provided.

Silver Whisper is among the “best luxury” cruise ship options on the premium market. Silversea’s all-inclusive deals include all onboard dining (except dinner at Le Champagne restaurant), all beverages (soft drinks, fine wines, premium spirits, and champagnes, including those in the cabin’s mini-bar and refrigerator). Gratuities are also included in the fares.

When booking a Silver Whisper cruise, it is advisable to make dining reservations for the specialty restaurants you wish to visit. These include La Champagne (French cuisine, 24 seats) and La Terrazza (Italian cuisine, evenings only, 70 seats).
