Silversea Cruises has officially begun the construction of Silver Ray, its second ship in the Nova class.
To mark the occasion, the cruise line held a traditional steel-cutting ceremony at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, on November 23.
Silver Ray is set to join Silver Nova as one of the most environmentally conscious ships ever built when she launches in summer 2024.
Silver Nova is now expected to join Silversea’s fleet on August 14, 2023, sailing round-trip from Fusina (Venice) on her maiden voyage.
Roberto Martinoli, President and CEO, Silversea Cruises, said:
“We are proud to have started constructing Silver Ray in collaboration with Meyer Werft, as we continue to push boundaries in sustainable cruise travel.
“As part of Royal Caribbean Group, Silversea has long stood at the forefront of innovation when it comes to environmentally conscious cruising.
“The launch of the Nova class represents a giant leap forward in this regard and we are introducing pioneering technologies. Given the worldwide issues that have affected the construction of Silver Nova, it has been decided to amend her launch date by approximately one month – in order to uphold the signature level of experience that our discerning guests have come to expect when travelling with Silversea.”
