Silversea’s second Nova-class ship, Silver Ray, celebrated a successful float out at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany on February 25, as she nears her debut sailing scheduled in June this year.
Silver Ray will then spend her inaugural season in the Mediterranean, before crossing the Atlantic in December.
The float out marks a significant milestone in a ship’s construction, representing the project’s advancement into its final stages. Now nearing completion – approximately 15 months since Meyer Werft first cut steel for the ship – Silver Ray is the sixth addition to Silversea’s fleet in just three years.
“With the float out of Silver Ray, excitement is building for the launch of the second ship in our pioneering Nova-class,” said Silversea president Barbara Muckermann.
“We received such incredibly strong feedback on Silver Nova from guests, travel advisors, and members of the press following her launch in August 2023. Sustaining the wave of innovation that is driving our success, the launch of Silver Ray will strengthen Royal Caribbean Group’s unwavering commitment to delivering a lifetime of vacations for guests, with its industry-leading global brands.”
With pioneering energy efficiency standards, Silver Nova and Silver Ray are 40 per cent more energy efficient than required international standards and regulations. On board, guests enjoy the brand’s hallmarks of luxury with a range of enhancements, including all-new venues and suite options, new Otium wellness experiences and amenities, and enrichments to the S.A.L.T. culinary programme, with the introduction of the S.A.L.T. Chef’s Table.
