Fincantieri starts construction of ultra-luxury cruise ship for Silversea Cruises
The steel cutting ceremony of “Silver Muse”, the ultra-luxury cruise ship which Fincantieri will build for Silversea Cruises, was held at the shipyard in Sestri Ponente (Genoa), the company said in its press release.
Set to debut in the spring of 2017, Silversea’s new flagship, like the previous one “Silver Spirit” as well built by Fincantieri, will maintain the line's commitment to operating the highest quality ships in the ultra-luxury segment. The steel cutting for “Silver Muse” follows extensive planning and development of new concepts to enhance the onboard experience.
At 40,700 gross tons and 212 meters long, the new unit will be able to accommodate 596 passengers on board and it will maintain the small-ship intimacy and spacious all-suite accommodations that are the hallmarks of the Silversea experience. The interior fittings will be very sought-after and on board the guests will be provided with an outstanding dining experience with the highest number of restaurants than any other vessel in the category and the same, unparalleled level of service.
