Silver Whisper embarked on a 70-day, 37-destination Grand Voyage through Asia on February 15th, visiting eight countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines. The voyage features exclusive events and onboard experiences showcasing regional culture. “Farewell to our guests traveling aboard Silver Whisper for the Grand Voyage Asia 2025 – the most immersive journey through the continent to depart this year,” said Bert Hernandez, president of Silversea. “Having spent many years living in Asia, I can attest to the richness of the region’s culture, the charm of its people, the beauty of its nature, and the wealth of opportunities for enrichment that await travelers there. Each of our voyages is driven by unique experiences, but this is especially true of our extended sailings. Our destination experts have designed an incredible itinerary for the Grand Voyage Asia 2025 that will showcase the very best that the continent has to offer — such as a circumnavigation of Japan during cherry blossom season — delivered to our guests over 70 days, as they journey in Silversea’s trademark level of comfort.”   MORE ABOUT THE GRAND VOYAGE For the first time on a Silversea Grand Voyage through Asia, guests can immerse themselves in the region’s authentic culinary cultures with Silversea’s Sea and Land Taste (S.A.L.T.) program.
