Silversea Cruises reveals details of its suite collection, which will debut on the Silver Nova in summer 2023. With 364 suites spread across 13 categories, Silversea's first Nova-class ship will showcase a completely new design approach for the leading ultra-luxury cruise line, featuring an asymmetrical configuration and horizontal layout that introduces a new generation of suites.
“Marking a new era in ultra-luxury cruise travel, the Silver Nova’s suite experience represents an evolution of the offering in an industry where Silversea is a leader,” says Barbara Muckermann, Chief Commercial Officer of Silversea Cruises. “With its asymmetrical configuration and horizontal layout, the Silver Nova will offer guests a new generation of spacious suites never before seen in the Silversea fleet. The Silver Nova will also be one of the most environmentally friendly cruise ships ever built, paving the way for the future of sustainable ultra-luxury cruising.”
For the first time in Silversea's history, the Silver Nova utilizes a horizontal layout, meaning the suites run the entire length of the ship across four decks. The Silver Nova will introduce a collection of suites among the most luxurious at sea. These new suite categories include:
The Signature Suite, a 65 m² suite with comfortable and spacious interiors, includes a dining area, living room, bedroom, and a luxurious bathroom, as well as one of the largest balconies on board. The Signature Suite also features custom-made luxury mattresses, two large flat-screen TVs, a sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, and an espresso machine.
The 123 m² Otium Suite is located in the premium aft corner position. It features floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony that is the most spacious on board, complete with a private whirlpool tub. Additional amenities include custom-made luxury mattresses, two large flat-screen TVs, a sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, and an espresso machine.
The suites on the Silver Nova are among the most spacious at sea, ranging in size from 33 m²to 123 m².The 364 suites guarantee maximum comfort and personal space, with meticulous design, especially in the bathrooms and dressing rooms. Furthermore, all suites benefit from large balconies, ranging from 5 to 40 m²,offering 270-degree views of the sea and coastline.
Architect Giacomo Mortola and his studio GEM were commissioned to design the suites aboard the new Silver Nova. Drawing on four decades of experience and a long-standing collaboration with Silversea, Mortola and his team were inspired by the relaxed and elegant luxury of Silversea's most recent ships: Silver Muse, Silver Moon, Silver Dawn, and Silver Origin.
“Our long-standing relationship with Silversea Cruises has allowed us to perfectly blend heritage with innovative design on Silver Nova,” says Giacomo Mortola of GEM – Design for Cruise Ships. “The crowning achievement is the Otium Suite, with its balcony jacuzzi and 270-degree views, which ranks among the most luxurious suites at sea.”.
Through an innovative structural design, each suite offers guests an immersive connection to the outside world. All suites feature a private balcony with a stunning glass balustrade and spectacular views from most of the living spaces, allowing for a seamless integration with the destination.
Guests in all suites aboard the Silver Nova will enjoy the enhancements of Silversea's new Otium wellness program.
