The pool: An azure oasis

The Silver Whisper houses an unexpectedly generous swimming pool – a sapphire expanse that beckons both the dedicated lap swimmer and those seeking a languorous afternoon soak. Flanking this centerpiece are twin whirlpool hot tubs that remain perennially popular regardless of the climate’s temperament.

The surrounding deck offers an abundance of elegantly positioned loungers, though discerning guests should note that shaded retreats are coveted commodities. The recent refurbishment replaced the traditional teak decking with a contemporary synthetic surface – a modification that, while visually striking, absorbs considerable heat during sun-drenched afternoons.

The resulting phenomenon: an impromptu display of abandoned footwear at the pool’s edge, as passengers transition from scorching deck to refreshing waters.

Zagara spa: Indulgent tranquility

The Zagara Spa stands as a sanctuary of refined rejuvenation, offering an exquisite menu of bespoke treatments and expert massages.

Demand for these sublime experiences consistently exceeds availability, making advance reservations an essential courtesy to oneself. The adjacent salon caters to both gentlemen and ladies with precision grooming services worthy of any metropolitan destination.

Fitness pavilion

The vessel’s state-of-the-art fitness pavilion houses a thoughtfully curated selection of exercise equipment and free weights. A dedicated space hosts complimentary yoga and stretch sessions – perfect for maintaining equilibrium while at sea.

Open-air pursuits

The elevated jogging track provides panoramic perspectives of the ocean below, with nine circuits completing a respectable 1.6-kilometre / 1-mile journey.
