Silversea brings a new take on luxury cruising with Silver Nova, containing the largest array of bars, restaurants, and lounges to date in the Silversea family. She will take her maiden voyage in August 2023, sailing to destinations all over the world.

Silver Nova will be the first ship in the Silversea fleet where EVERY cabin will have a balcony. Silver Nova’s unique asymmetrical design heightens the spaciousness between the various parts of the ship and will create an immersive experience. Designed to cater to every itinerary, the ship accommodates 728 guests with 10 bars and lounges, eight restaurants, and an array of things to do.

So where is Silver Nova sailing?

Silver Nova will begin her voyage with a summer Mediterranean tour of the Iberian Peninsula, Casablanca, and Tangier. She will then sail the Caribbean and Central America with stops at Benquia, Gustavia, Cartagena, Panama City and more. Winter 2023 will provide a warm escape to South America with stops in Peru, Ecuador, and Panama with 2024 plans to explore the Atacama Desert and the amazing Chilean Fjords. Summer 2024 will host an Alaskan cruise of the Inside Passage and Hubbard Glacier, with opportunities to witness native whales, dolphins, and sea lions. In 2024 and 2025, explore Asia with overnight stays in Ho Chi Min City, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Silver Nova will also sail down under for a tour of Australia and New Zealand.

Sustainability aboard Silver Nova – not just a buzz word

Silver Nova will be one of the most environmentally conscious vessels in the Silversea collection. Equipped with a novel hybrid energy source, the ship will use fuel cells, batteries, and dual-fuel engines that use liquefied natural gas. This large-scale power source allows the ship to be free of local emissions while at the port, the first ship to do this in the cruise industry. 

With Silver Nova, Silversea are introducing a new way of looking at sailing, at the environment, at the ocean itself. Thanks to her state-of-the art technologies, Silver Nova is one of the most sustainable cruise ships ever built and Silversea are stating a deep commitment to the oceans, the environment and the communities at every port of call.
