Every cabin on the Silver Whisper is a suite, and I don't think there is a bad location on this small luxury cruise ship. The Silver Whisper has 7 classes of suites ranging in size from 287 square feet to over 1,400 square feet. Each of these spacious suites from the Vista Suites to the Grand Suites is designed to be comfortable for long sea voyages. Even the smallest Vista Suite includes plenty of room for two and a large picture window with an ocean view. The other suites all have sliding glass doors and a teak veranda.

On our Silver Whisper Red Sea cruise, we were in a Silver Suite. With over 650 square feet, it is bigger than some small apartments! We had a separate sleeping area, a living/dining room combination, and a double veranda. I loved all the sunlight we had streaming into the suite during the day through our two large sliding glass doors. Having a full-size dining table was wonderful for breakfast or other in-suite dining.

The design of the Silver Suite is especially good for traveling. The large walk-in closet separates the bedroom from the bath, so you don't have to worry about disturbing your suitemate who is sleeping in. The bath has two sinks and a separate shower and tub. The toilet has its own marble sink and two doors--one connecting with the bath and the other with the entry way, making it perfect for guests.

Other amenities we enjoyed in the Silver Suite were:

  • Fresh fruit and flowers
  • Frette bed linens, comfy pillows, and plush terry-cloth robes
  • A choice of premium European bath amenities
  • Refrigerator stocked with soft drinks, wine and beer
  • Two remote-controlled televisions with satellite reception
  • DVD player, and stereo CD

About the only thing I missed in our suite was a wireless Internet connection. With more and more cruisers traveling with their laptop computers, I hope this is a feature that Silversea adds soon.
