Silversea has announced that Silver Nova will debut in Asia Pacific as “the region’s most luxurious ship” from the end of September 2024 until April 2025.
Marking the start of the ship’s inaugural season in Asia, Silver Nova will arrive in Kushiro (Hokkaido), Japan, on September 27th, undertaking two voyages in the region before crossing over to Australia and New Zealand in November.
Guests will dive deep into the vibrant cities and landscapes of Australia and New Zealand on seven sailings – ranging from 16 to 18 days – between November 18th, 2024, and February 24th, 2025. Silver Nova will then return to Asia until April 2025.
Silversea says its Nova-class ships pay testament to Royal Caribbean Group’s commitment to delivering the world’s best vacation experiences responsibly.
With pioneering energy efficiency standards, Silver Nova and her sister ship Silver Ray are 40% more energy efficient than required international standards and regulations.
Both ships incorporate innovative design features with asymmetrical, horizontal layouts.
Bert Hernandez, President of Silversea said: “We are thrilled to finally be celebrating the arrival of the beautiful Silver Nova in Asia-Pacific.
“Anticipation has been building among our valued guests and travel advisors in the region, and we’re delighted to be able to introduce them to one of the most pioneering ships in experiential luxury cruise travel at long last.
“Silver Nova will be the most luxurious ship sailing in Asia-Pacific until she leaves the region in April 2025, with her striking architectural innovations, advanced energy efficiency standards, and unprecedented range of suites and public venues.”
Silver Nova’s inaugural season in Asia-Pacific will mark the introduction of Silversea’s pioneering culinary programme, S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste), in Australia and New Zealand while also delivering S.A.L.T. shore excursions in Japan for the first time.
Hosted both on board and ashore, a range of exclusive new destination-inspired culinary experiences, crafted exclusively for Silversea’s S.A.L.T. programme, will provide guests with the opportunity to travel deeper.
Silver Nova will return to Asia-Pacific in September 2025, completing voyages in Asia before undertaking a 47-day circumnavigation of Australia, departing from Melbourne. Subsequently, Silversea’s first Nova-class ship will operate Sydney-to-Auckland sailings, ranging from 12 to 15 days.
Details of the new S.A.L.T. excursions can be found on the Silversea website, with reservations now open.
