The ship has many public spaces where guests can hang out, including a pool deck.

At $240,000 for 140 days, the priciest tickets on the cruise comes out to $1,714 a day — a price that's far greater than an average cruise from Carnival, which is currently selling 7-day Caribbean cruises for $499 a person, or about $71 a day.

But if you book the cheapest suites on Silver Whisper, which run $62,000 for the seven-continent cruise, it's actually cheaper than another similar luxury world cruise, offered by Seabourn, that hits 62 ports in 146 days and costs $67,000 a person. The Seabourn cruise, however, only visits five continents.
