There is something magical about discovering the world from your very own
private veranda. Feeling the ocean breeze caress your skin. Listening to
the surf gently roll by. Which is why seventy-five percent of our
all-suite accommodations feature a private teak veranda.
Beautifully appointed with all the comforts of home, every suite features
a marbled bath with a full-sized tub. In all we offer six different types
of suites. Ranging in size from almost 250 square feet to over 1,300, each
is decorated in hushed pastels and warm hues and offers a rare degree of
finesse and refinement.
Luxury is found in every detail. Cut crystal. Crisp Frette linens.
Personalized stationery. Bvlgari soap, shampoo and lotion. And yes, our
signature teak verandas.

Concept: |
With
Silver
Whisper, Silversea has taken its award-winning concept of elegant,
all-suite ultra-luxury ships to the next level by incorporating
technological innovations and guest suggestions to create two extraordinary
vessels designed to carry Silversea's tradition of all-inclusive luxury and
style into the new millennium. |
|
Space Ratio: |
The ships have the
highest space-to-passenger ratio in the industry at 74, providing more space
per passenger than any other cruise ship. Space ratio is derived by dividing
a vessel's gross tonnage, which is a volume measurement of its interior
space, by its lower berth capacity. |

Year Built: |
2001. |
|
Shipyard: |
Italy's Francesco
Visentini Shipyard and T. Mariotti Shipyard. Hulls constructed at the
Visentini yard near Trieste; final outfitting at the Mariotti yard in Genoa. |
|
Registry: |

|
Designers: |
Petter Yran and
Bjorn Storbraaten Architects of Oslo, award-winning designers of

Cloud and Silver Wind. |

and providing a passenger-to-crew ratio of 1.31 to 1. |
