Silversea Cruises unveiled the latest insight on its 11th ship, Silver Nova, at Seatrade Cruise Global
A press conference revealed that, built with a revolutionary asymmetrical design – a first for the cruise line – the new ship will offer guests all-new outdoor spaces for an unprecedented openness to the destination, with a reimagined, outward-facing pool deck; an al fresco dining area; and a sky bar that offers panoramic views from the ship’s aft.
“Silver Nova represents the next iteration of Silversea’s unique take on luxury, with an entirely new design approach that will enhance our guests’ cruise experience,” said Silversea president and chief executive Roberto Martinoli. “With its outward-facing, asymmetrical layout and all-new outdoor venues, Silver Nova will offer our guests a brand-new way to connect and engage with each destination. Moreover, with its groundbreaking environmental credentials, Silver Nova will strengthen our position at the forefront of sustainable cruise travel.”
Silver Nova’s asymmetrical design has enabled the creation of a reimagined pool area and outdoor venues on decks 10 and 11. “Each space places emphasis on the destination, with panoramic views that connect guests with the world beyond,” says Silversea.
As well as incorporating a new design approach, Silver Nova will push boundaries in ultra-luxury cruise travel with pioneering sustainability credentials. Silversea Cruises claims the ship is set to become the world’s first low-emissions cruise ship with advanced hybrid technology that utilises fuel cells, emitting zero harmful emissions while in port.
The ship uses LNG as its main fuel while hybrid power sources will enable local emissions-free operation in port using fuel cells and batteries. The hybrid technology will allowSilver Nova to achieve a 40% overall reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per double suite when compared with its previousMuse-class of ships.
Silver Novais being developed as part of Royal Caribbean Group’s newbuild project known as Project Evolution.
