Silversea Cruises announces the opening of pre-sale bookings for the Silver Nova, the first ship in the company's revolutionary Nova class. The offer, aimed at travel agents and Silversea loyalty program members, is available until January 6, 2022. Scheduled to begin sailings in summer 2023, the Silver Nova will be the first low-emission luxury cruise ship with advanced hybrid fuel cell technology, paving the way for the future of sustainable luxury cruising.
The Silver Nova will begin on July 15, 2023, and will feature carefully curated, immersive itineraries ranging from 7 to 23 days. The inaugural 10-day voyage from Southampton to Lisbon will include stops in Saint-Malo, three days in Bordeaux to explore the region's historical highlights—18th-century cultural heritage, castles, vineyards, and French-style gardens—followed by Bilbao, and concluding in Lisbon.
The Silver Nova 's inaugural season is scheduled to offer a total of 20 voyages in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and South America, as well as a transoceanic voyage, thus offering more than 100 destinations in 50 countries.
Silver Nova 's innovative asymmetrical design allows for unparalleled connectivity between passengers and their destinations, with luxurious interiors and numerous outdoor areas. Passenger comfort is ensured with the largest selection of suite types in Silversea's history and the most spacious in the cruise industry, as well as a collection of prized aft suites offering breathtaking 270-degree ocean and land views.
Some of the amenities on the Silver Nova will include Otium, Silversea's wellness program introduced in 2021 on the Silver Dawn , and SALT, an immersive culinary concept first experienced on the Silver Moon, which brings the authenticity of the destination to the ship's kitchen through locally sourced produce, market visits, and live masterclasses from guest chefs. According to Silversea executives, the Silver Nova will take both concepts to the "next level."
“We are delighted to offer our guests a new way to travel with this evolution of luxury and sustainability,” said Roberto Martinoli, President and CEO of Silversea Cruises. “Silver Nova represents more than just a new luxury ship; its launch advances responsible cruising and new leadership and innovation in the cruise industry.”
