Although the Silver Whisper is a small ship, it has several quiet bars, and I love getting a drink without ever having to pull out my key card. The bars feature quiet entertainment in the evening, which is conducive to conversation with new friends. Our our short cruise on the Silver Whisper, Viennese show lounge had a classical pianist and a singer. Other evening entertainment included a movie by the pool, accompanied by popcorn and champagne. Passengers also enjoyed browsing the upscale shops and playing the casino when the ship was at sea in the evenings.
Daytime hours when the Silver Whisper is at sea are filled with relaxation or educational opportunities. The ship has an excellent Mandara Spa, and the fitness center has workout equipment and classes in Pilates, aerobics, and body toning. I especially enjoyed the guest lecturer on our cruise, Scott Pearson, who spoke enthusiastically about the Suez Canal and Petra. Learning is much more fun when you get to experience the things you are learning about!
