Part of the fleet
Silversea Cruises
The broadest luxury fleet at sea — classic ships, the Nova-class newbuilds and a purpose-built expedition division reaching all seven continents.
- Introduced
- 2023
- Gross tonnage
- 54,700 GT
- Capacity
- 728 guests
Silver Nova entered service in 2023 as a deliberate break with cruise-ship symmetry: public rooms are offset to one side to create a series of double-height, sea-facing spaces.
The class uses a hybrid power system combining LNG, fuel cells and batteries, allowing zero-emission operation at anchor — the most advanced propulsion package in the luxury segment.
Otium wellness runs across the ship, and the aft Marquee deck carries an open-air grill and pool that convert to an evening dining venue.
