Northern Europe Cruise Chronicle aboard the Silver Whisper one of SilverSeas finest ships

 

It’s often referred to as a marathon, the lead up to a far away cruise holiday.  The preparation, the packing, the rush to the airport,  an overnight flight to Europe followed by the necessary transfers to get you to your starting point. WHEW, it is a whirlwind experience, once you arrive on board your floating resort it all becomes worth the effort.

Close your eyes for a moment and picture this… Could there be anything better than sitting on a ship’s deck at 7am in the beautiful sunshine with a cup of tea listening to a local Umm Pa Pa band on the pier in Oostend, Belgium playing “When You’re Smiling”!!!

Perhaps, if we had to start each morning at home this way, our morning commute would seem a lot more pleasant and, dare I say, road rage would be eradicated!

That’s the life you hope for and on board the Silver Whisper our 11 night cruise  from London to Copenhagen is providing us with just that. Ian and I are hosting a Voyager Club Sailing for our Virtuoso network.   Today we are in Belgium and you guessed it chocolate is everywhere.

Cocktail party invitation for our 25 guests have just been delivered to the suites of our very international guest list.  Looking forward to our dinner and dancing formal evening tonight.

My new quote, “When everything goes wrong, There’s always Chocolate”.  Hope you enjoy it.
