Silversea has announced the latest addition to its fleet, Silver Nova. Set to sail in the summer of 2023, this innovative ship will lead the Silversea fleet into sustainable cruising.
The 728 guest capacity Silver Nova will have a mix of the most advanced technologies making it one of the most sustainable, energy-efficient ships ever built. With a hydrodynamically optimised hull, hydrogen fuel cells and Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) fueled propulsion system, Silver Nova will reduce the cruise ship's carbon footprint and lower fuel emissions by 40%.
This revolutionary design is accompanied by pioneering architecture allowing for aft suites with spectacular 270-degree views. With all the standard Silversea features, Silver Nova will have butler service in every suite, a high crew-to-guest ratio, exceptional cuisine and a luxurious design.

Silver Nova is one of two ships planned to join the luxurious Silversea fleet under ‘Project Evolution’. A press release stated that Silver Nova will be the first hybrid, luxury cruise ship free of local emissions at port.
