Our Red Sea cruise tour started in Cairo, and then we drove to Port Said on the Mediterranean to join the Silver Whisper. The ship transited the Suez Canal to the Red Sea, porting in Sharm el-Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula before sailing to Aqaba, Jordan for an overnight stopover. We finished our cruise tour at Luxor on the Nile River.
All in all, the Silver Whisper was everything we could ask for. The accommodations are among the best at sea, the food delicious, and the service and attention to detail superb. Having sailed on the Silver Whisper four years ago, my expectations for the hotel and tour services on the ship were high, and the ship and crew did not disappoint.
Overall, five factors made our cruise on the Silver Whisper a memorable one --
- Outstanding service, attention to detail, and all-inclusive pricing
- Fantastic food
- Wonderful suite accommodations
- Sleek, beautiful ship and superb on-board amenities
- Exciting, exotic itinerary
Let's take a look at each of these factors.
