Silversea’s superyacht Silver Whisper embarked on the industry’s first 7-continent world voyage visiting a total of 62 destinations in 32 different countries.
Silver Whisper departed on "Legends of Cruising 2020" world cruise from Fort Lauderdale FL on January 6, giving passengers the chance to attend a ‘bon voyage’ event at The Breakers resort, Palm Beach on January 5. A number of Silversea executives joined the event.
Over the next 140 days, the passengers will sail to the 7 different continents prior to concluding their voyage in Amsterdam Holland on May 25.
Highlights of Silver Whisper's cruise include 33 new immersive shore trips, themed evenings, local shows, cocktail classes, and new menus, as well as lectures from guests including British broadcast journalist Michael Buerk, South African politician Tony Leon, world affairs commentator Mark Elovitz, and author Bill Miller. For the first time ever on a Silversea world voyage, guests will participate in zodiac tours led by expedition experts.
The cruise line has planned a couple of world cruises in 2021, including the cruise industry’s first-ever expedition world voyage.
