Silversea is "uping" their game and it shows
July
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.
Recommended: No

Cruise to New Zealand and Australia
January
Pros: service was excellent
Cons: Too much time on the water. Not much to do on boat due to cool weather, and rough water
Recommended: No
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

14 days on Silver Whisper from Tokyo to Anchorage
May
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
Recommended: No
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).

Reykjavik to Manhattan
September
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.
Recommended: Yes
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.

silversea cruise Iceland to London
July
Pros: staff members and servers were attentive and thoughtful
Cons: condition of the ship was
Recommended: No
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.

World Cruise 2020
February
Pros: It's like a family you love to be part of.
Cons: Price point too high for most .
Recommended: No
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.
