Luigi Matarazzo, General Manager of Fincantieri’s Merchant Ships Division, was also in attendance.

“In welcoming the beautiful Silver Dawn as the 10th ship in our fleet, we have reached a huge milestone on our mission to take our guests deep into the world in luxury,” says Roberto Martinoli, President & CEO, Silversea Cruises. 

Mr Martolini also said that Silver Dawn represents an evolution of luxury cruise travel while recognizing the great contribution of the Royal Caribbean Group. “I am grateful for the Group’s continued support, which has proven invaluable once again,” he added.
