Luxury cruise line took delivery of the Nova-class ship in the Netherlands in May
Silversea's Silver Ray, the second ship in its Nova class, will set sail on 15 June 2024.
Its maiden voyage will sail from Lisbon to begin a season in the Mediterranean before repositioning to the Americas in December.
The luxury cruise line took delivery of Silver Ray in May in Eemshaven, Netherlands in May and the delivery ceremony was attended by Royal Caribbean Group president and chief executive Jason Liberty, Silversea president Bert Hernandez, the ship’s captain, Alessandro Zanello, and officials from the Meyer Werft shipyard.
The 728-passenger ship is 40% more energy efficient than required international standards and regulations, according to Silversea.

Jason Liberty said: “We are thrilled to take delivery of Silver Ray, the newest ultra-luxury and expedition jewel in Royal Caribbean Group’s game-changing fleet.

“As far as firsts go, I feel honoured that my first delivery as president of Silversea is to welcome Silver Ray to our fleet alongside Jason, my Royal Caribbean colleagues and the wonderful Meyer Werft team. I can’t wait for guests to experience everything this remarkable ship has to offer.”
