The 360 passengers on board the Silver Whisper received a wet and windy welcome to Bermuda yesterday as the cruise liner made her way into Hamilton under grey skies.

The ship arrived in the capital just after 2pm from New York for a two-day stop on her way to St Martin in the Caribbean.

The Silver Whisper is the first of three cruise liners that will be calling on Hamilton in the next few days as the 2015 season draws to a close.

Tomorrow the Regatta will come along side on Front Street before heading out towards Charleston on Saturday afternoon.

Then on Sunday she will be replaced in the city by the Adonia, which is due to arrive from the Azores at 9am. The liner is only scheduled to be in Hamilton for the day before she sets sail for Charleston in the afternoon.
