Cruises had engaged Italian cruise
ship construction firm Fincantieri
to deliver a brand new luxury
vessel to its ranks.
To become the ninth in the
line’s fleet, the new ship has been
dubbed Silver Muse and will make
its debut in Apr 2017.
At 40,000 GRT (Gross Registered
Tonnage) Silver Muse will cater
to 596 pax per sailing, described
as “an exciting evolution of the
Silver Spirit that will redefine
ultra-luxury ocean travel.
Silversea’s two-pronged
operation currently comprises
five all-suite vessels in Silver
Wind, Silver Cloud, Silver Shadow,
Silver Spirit and Silver Whisper.
A further three ships make up
the Silversea Expeditions fleet in
Silver Explorer, Silver Galapagos
and Silver Discoverer.
Silversea chairman Manfredi
Lefebvre d’Ovidio said the
line has always had a special
relationship with Fincantieri.
“Both companies have a clear
understanding of what today’s
affluent traveller seeks, and each
approaches the market with
originality, creativity, and quality.”
CEO Giuseppe Bono said the
new vessel will allow the chance
to develop creative solutions
and “set new standards for
shipbuilding in the ultra-luxury
segment,” with more details and
specifications to be released soon.
