Silversea orders new ship

Thursday, 12 Sep, 2017 0

Silversea Cruises has agreed a deal with shipbuilder Fincantieri for a new ship.

The $372 million deal will see the ship, tentatively named Silver Moon, join the fleet in 2020.

Silver Moon will be a sister ship to Silver Muse, which was delivered in April 2017 at the Fincantieri shipyard in Genoa.

At 40,700 gross tons and with a capacity to accommodate 596 passengers on board,

Silver Moon will maintain the small-ship intimacy and spacious all-suite accommodations which is the hallmark of the Silversea experience.

The new build will expand Silversea’s fleet to 10 ships while raising the bar in the ultra-luxury segment with enhancements to the on board experience.

Silversea chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio said: "Based on the high praise Silver Muse has earned with our guests, we are eager to build on our flagship’s success and move forward with a sister ship, which will bring us closer to fulfilling my father’s dream of a 12-ship fleet.

"We pride ourselves on delivering an outstanding luxury cruise experience, and are delighted to partner once again with expert luxury shipbuilder Fincantieri as we continue to grow and evolve our fleet."
