Silversea orders new ‘ultra-luxury ship’
Silversea Cruises is to take delivery of a new ship, the Silver Muse, in the spring of 2017.
The new ultra-luxury vessel with a capacity for 596 guests is being built by Fincantieri.
The addition will increase Silversea’s fleet to nine ships.
"We have always had a special relationship with Fincantieri, since my father ordered from them the first cruise vessels for Sitmar Cruises in 1987," said chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio.
Silversea CEO Enzo Visone added: "With enhanced design specifications and enriched content, the Silver Muse will continue to build on the sophistication, innovative style and ground-breaking concepts for which Silversea ships are renowned.
"This ship contributes to our ambitious growth plans that will ensure our continued leadership in ultra-luxury cruising."
Additional details and specifications on the new ship will be announced soon, added Silversea.
