We are delighted to have been selected by Virtuoso to host this Voyager Club sailing on the exquisite 382-passenger Silver Whisper as she sails from New York to Bermuda and through the Caribbean to Barbados on October 22nd , 2012 – when the temperatures start to drop, extend your summer on this fabulous itinerary
We invite you to join us on this very special voyage. Let your thoughts drift to balmy breezes, swaying palms and brilliant blue skies. Sail off with us on Silversea to spell-binding Bermuda and on to some of the most captivating ports of call in the West Indies. Along with lazy days of sunning and swimming on powdery white sands, the islands of St. Barths, Antigua, Dominica, Bequia and Barbados all offer local cultural and historical interests to discover and enjoy. These are the islands that Silversea sails to in the less-visited Lesser Antilles where the big ships cannot go.
Pricing for this voyage is now at the special 55% off Silver Savings Fares starting at just $4443.00 per person, ALL INCLUSIVE, including free coach class air from many US gateways and very favorable business class upgrades! AND $500.00 per person ship board credit. But this will not last – as suites sell, the rates increase and the free air and ship board credit will disappear.
In addition to all the regular activities on board Silversea, this voyage is a designated ”Bridge Sailing” and“L’Ecole des Chefs Voyage.” Though guests are welcome to play Bridge on any Silversea cruise, a Bridge Sailing features a formal programme of Contract and Duplicate Bridge, which is supervised by instructors who are certified ACBL (American Contract Bridge League) Life Masters. Bridge Sailing activities are complimentary and guests can enjoy daily Bridge sessions (twice daily on sea days), Bridge lectures for both beginning and intermediate-level players, and even opportunities to earn ACBL Master Points. Silversea supplies all Bridge materials and hosts the programme in a dedicated Card Room on board. L’Ecole des Chefs is a cooking school at sea designed exclusively for Silversea by Relais & Châteaux and hosted by Silversea’s Culinary Trainer, Chef David Bilsland.
As our valued clients, you are automatically enrolled in Virtuoso Voyager Club and will be our special guests for an on board private cocktail party as well as the exclusive shore event. So we invite you to join us on this exciting journey on this very special ship.

| Exclusive Virtouoso Voyager Club Shore Experience - Island Sights with lunch at the Sand Bar
St. Barth is the Caribbean’s best-protected secret. The Rockefellers and the Rothschilds may think that they discovered this isle, but its lineage extends back more than 500 years. Christopher Columbus first laid eyes upon this paradise in 1493, and named it for his beloved brother, Bartholomew. Then Sweden claimed it. France claimed it. And, until 1878, they both managed to share its beauty. Today, the island’s flavor is decidedly French: sophisticated, elegant, and oh-so Continental.
A brief transit of Gustavia, the capital “city,” precedes our exquisite Voyager Club luncheon. The port wraps around a scenic horseshoe bay of still turquoise waters. Although Sweden no longer rules St. Barth, their legacy remains, and is evident in Gustavia’s narrow streets, which are punctuated with quaint wooden and stone buildings (not to mention its name). Here street signs are still posted in both Swedish and French.
You’ll marvel at the lush mountainous terrain. St. Barth was formed from underwater volcanic eruptions eons ago. Its narrow winding roads can be a joy to navigate. We’ll wind our way to lunch along the coastal roads to one if the islands finest venues, The Sand Bar at Eden Rock. The Sand Bar is a beach front restaurant located in the most fashionable hotel in an already fashionable island. In this magnificent setting, you will enjoy cuisine that is both gastronomic and light with its specialties of fish and seafood with Mediterranean flavors. The Sand Bar sits right on the beach, overlooking the beautiful Baie de St Jean.
After lunch guests can have some free time in town before returning to the pier in the afternoon.

After several wonderful days exploring along the southern coast of Brazil, we spent an amazing day yesterday in Montevideo, Uruguay. With our Virtuoso Voyager Club group we enjoyed an excursion to a wonderful winery where we were wined, dined and entertained by local singers and dancers before exploring the old town of Montevideo which is an extremely beautiful city. After a drive along the 12-mile coastal “Rambla” we stopped for coffee at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the River Plata.
Today we are in the “Paris of South America,” Buenos Aires. This morning we left for a visit to an estancia in the Pampas where the gauchos showed off their horsemanship skills and we dined on an Asado (Argentinian barbecue) lunch under the trees out in the fields … just awesome! Tomorrow we meet our guide to explore this wonderful city and then enjoy Tango Rojo in the evening…. and then on to Lima …. stay tuned
Bom Dia from Brazil and the beautiful Silver Whisper. After enjoying two marvelous days in fabulous Rio de Janeiro today we have sailed to picture-postcard perfect Paraty.
Nestled amongst a bevy of small island, beaches and backed by green mountains, this sleepy little town made prosperous by the gold mining in the 17th century was forgotten once the road to Rio was built so it remains an exquisite colonial gem. Along the car-free cobblestone streets the restored white-washed buildings with colorful trim now house artist’s studios and chic boutiques – at one of which I found some delicious Brazilian sandals!
On board the Silver Whisper we are of course being spoiled to death. With our Butler at our beck and call and all the staff treating us royally, we have long forgotten the woes of the world.
Last night we hosted our Virtuoso Voyager Club guests at a wonderful private cocktail reception (think champagne, shrimp and caviar and so much more) followed by an exquisite “Taste of Italy” dinner in La Terrazza.
On to another adventure as we sail south …….stay tuned!
