Cruise line Silversea has officially named Silver Ray, a second ship in the line’s Nova Class.
It comes as the cruise line celebrates its 30th year of operation.
Jason Liberty, CEO, Royal Caribbean Group, and Bert Hernandez, in his first naming ceremony as Silversea’s president, addressed guests in Lisbon.
Dr. Josefina Olascoaga, ocean scientist and the ship’s godmother, officially named the ship alongside Captain Alessandro Zanello, taking the helm of Silver Ray.
“Welcoming Silver Ray represents the latest commitment to continue building the Silversea brand,” Liberty said.
Dr. María Josefina Olascoaga is Professor of Ocean Science at University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science.
Silver Ray embarked on its maiden voyage at the weekend and spends an inaugural season in the Mediterranean before crossing the Atlantic in December.
