Observation Lounge - refreshed with rich new wood paneling and wood accents
A renovation of Silver Whisper has been completed just ahead of the ship's world cruise, a 116-day voyage from San Francisco to Monte Carlo that sails Jan. 6.

Enhancements include new carpeting in all the suites and new wall treatments and rejuvenated wood flooring in the restaurants, Connoisseur's Corner, Panorama Lounge, Spa and Beauty Salon.

The Restaurant and La Terrazza were outfitted with newly upholstered chairs. A new marble-topped bar and stylish new wood display cases grace the Observation Lounge, which has been refreshed with rich new wood paneling and wood accents.

The pool deck was upgraded with the installation of two new whirlpools. Plus, new synthetic turf was pladed on the jogging and spa decks.

Completed during Silver Whisper's drydock in the Bahamas this month, the renovation represents the third phase of a $170m fleet refurbishment program, the largest in the company's history. As part of the initiative, Silver Discoverer and Silver Wind have also received makeovers this year.

And, in late 2017, Silver Cloud is scheduled for conversion into an ice-class expedition ship.
