Silver Whisper, which Russian Vladimir Putin chartered in 2003 to host guest for the three-day celebrations of Saint Petersburg’s 300th anniversary, is the second generation of vessels in the Silversea Cruises fleet (its sister is Silver Shadow), and is slightly larger than the  line’s first two ships, Silver Cloud and Silver Wind, but with a more streamlined profile and large, sleek single funnel.
Silver Whisper is best suited to discerning, well-traveled couples (typically over 50) who are looking for a small ship setting with excellent food approaching gourmet standards, and fine European-style service in surroundings bordering on the elegant and luxurious.
