Silver Ray, sister ship to Silver Nova, is the second vessel in Silversea’s forward-thinking Nova-class and represents the brand’s continued push toward sustainable, ultra-luxury travel. Launching in 2024, Silver Ray shares Nova’s innovative asymmetrical layout and hybrid propulsion system, and carries 728 guests in a spacious, open-plan design that emphasizes connection to the sea, sustainability, and refined comfort.
At the heart of Silver Ray’s design is an emphasis on environmental responsibility. Equipped with dual-fuel engines capable of running on liquefied natural gas (LNG), battery technology, and a micro-gasification system, Silver Ray is among the most eco-conscious cruise ships in operation. It is designed to achieve zero-emissions operations while in port, aligning with Silversea’s goal to reduce its environmental impact without compromising the luxury guest experience.
Silver Ray’s innovative asymmetrical layout allows for larger public spaces with panoramic ocean views. Light-filled interiors and wide-open outdoor areas create a seamless transition between ship and sea. Guests enjoy spacious promenades, an expansive pool deck, and a fully reimagined suite layout that ensures every accommodation is outward-facing and comes with a private veranda.
Dining aboard Silver Ray is exceptional, featuring Silversea’s celebrated SALT (Sea and Land Taste) program. SALT Kitchen serves regionally inspired menus that evolve with the itinerary, while SALT Lab invites guests into interactive culinary workshops. The SALT Bar offers craft cocktails featuring local spirits and flavors. In addition to SALT venues, Silver Ray also includes signature restaurants such as Atlantide, La Dame, La Terrazza, Kaiseki, Silver Note, The Grill, and Spaccanapoli.
Accommodations aboard Silver Ray begin at 357 square feet and include thoughtfully designed suites such as the new Otium Suite—the most spacious in the fleet—featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive living areas, and oversized verandas. All suites include a private butler, marble-clad bathrooms, a walk-in wardrobe, in-suite dining, and customizable minibars. The decor balances minimalist elegance with residential warmth and comfort.
Silver Ray’s public spaces elevate the onboard experience. The Observation Lounge is perched high above the bow, offering panoramic views; the Venetian Lounge hosts enrichment lectures and performances; and the Roman-inspired Otium Spa delivers high-touch wellness experiences. The ship also features the Marquee, a new alfresco dining venue, and a solarium-style pool area with stunning infinity views.
Silver Ray’s itineraries will span the globe, covering Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, South America, and more. Silversea’s Destination Experts curate immersive shore excursions and cultural experiences, enriching every journey with insider access and educational depth.
With its innovative design, exceptional dining, commitment to sustainability, and elevated luxury, Silver Ray signals the future of ultra-luxury cruising. Perfect for modern travelers seeking space, serenity, and substance, Silver Ray redefines what it means to explore the world in style and comfort.
