"Our goal with this refurbishment was to refresh Silver Whisper's signature style and honor her superb legacy of hosting our iconic world cruises by revitalizing the onboard experience for our guests," said Roberto Martinoli, Silversea's CEO. "Silver Whisper's enhancements are a perfect complement to the superior level of personalized service and warm hospitality that our guests receive on every voyage, whether it's a seven-day Mediterranean sailing or an around-the-world adventure.”

Next up in the refurbishment schedule, is the conversion of Silver Cloud for deployment in the Silversea Expeditions fleet. The ship will be extensively remodeled and remade into an ice-class vessel capable of discovering polar regions in late 2017.
