Silversea prepares for Silver Ray's June debut

Nova-class ship is set for sea trials

Silversea president Barbara Muckermann said “excitement is building” for the launch of the Silver Ray, whose sister, Silver Nova, made its debut in August last year.

Silversea celebrated the float-out of Silver Ray, its second Nova-class ship, on 25 February at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.

With sailings set to begin from June 2024, the vessel will become the sixth addition to Silversea's luxury fleet of ships in the last three years.

Meyer Werft project manager Thorsten Kroes said: “Reaching the major milestone of the float-out, we approach the completion of Silver Ray. The Meyer team is now working on getting this beautiful ship ready for her upcoming sea trials.”

Sea trials will take place in the North Sea ahead of Silver Ray's debut.

Silver Nova and Silver Ray are 40% more energy efficient than required by international standards, according to Silversea.
