The Silver Whisper is set to make 17 trips to the Society Islands, Tuamotu Islands and Marquesas Islands between April and September 2026.
Responding to strong guest demand, Silversea has announced its first full summer season in French Polynesia, opening an exclusive pre-sale of 17 voyages between April and September 2026 aboard the Silver Whisper.
Selected by Silversea's destination experts following an exploration mission in the region, the company will undertake two circumnavigations, offering a deep dive into 11 of the world's most remote destinations in three of the region's five archipelagos: the Society Islands, the Tuamotu Islands, and the Marquesas Islands.
“The rapid growth of Silversea’s fleet has opened up opportunities for even deeper immersion in the world’s most enriching regions, such as French Polynesia,” said Conrad Combrink, Silversea’s Senior Vice President of Expeditions, Destinations and Itinerary Management.
“There is no better way to experience these idyllic islands and atolls than by boat, and there is no better ship to connect travelers meaningfully with each destination than the Silver Whisper, which is destined to become the most luxurious ship sailing the region.”.
“In addition to being the most spacious ship deployed in French Polynesia, it will offer the most personalized service, with a crew-to-guest ratio of 1:1.3 and butler service for every suite. Our comprehensive door-to-door service, meanwhile, will allow our guests to simply focus on immersing themselves in the destinations and savoring the experience“.
Spanning a region similar in size to mainland Europe, French Polynesia comprises 118 islands and atolls, combining world-renowned natural beauty with wildlife experiences and cultural encounters.
Appealing to travelers who want to go beyond the region's idyllic landscapes, the Silver Whisper will unlock many enriching experiences available in the South Pacific.
Traveling slowly to immerse guests deeply in each destination, Silversea's 392-guest ship will spend multiple nights at destinations throughout its 7- and 14-day voyages, giving travelers more time to explore on land.
Two immersive itineraries, 17 trips, countless experiences
Beginning April 6, 2026, the Silver Whisper will sail 17 voyages in French Polynesia, based in Papeete, Tahiti. As part of the brand's destination leadership, Silversea's destination experts spent months exploring the region to identify the best islands and atolls to call at, as well as the most compelling guest experiences.
Travelers can choose between 7-night or 14-night itineraries, both fostering meaningful connections with the destination:
- Seven Days: The Society Islands
The shorter of the two itineraries showcases Silver Whisper's journeys between the Society Islands' most iconic destinations, as well as off-the-beaten-path gems. Formed by volcanoes and surrounded by coral reefs, the islands of the Society Archipelago are characterized by towering mountains and white-sand atolls, offering the quintessential French Polynesian experience.
- 14 days: The Society Islands, the Tuamotu Islands and the Marquesas Islands
Guests seeking a longer, more comprehensive journey can opt for the 14-day Silver Whisper, which combines the best aspects of French Polynesia's rich diversity. The mountainous terrain of the Society Islands contrasts with the atolls and water sports of the Tuamotus, while the cultural offerings and community gatherings of the Marquesas Islands, one of the world's most remote archipelagos, provide another enriching element.
- In addition, a 21-day trip to Easter Island, departing from Valparaíso on March 16, and two combined trips expand the regional offering for guests.
