A group of Royal Caribbean Group executives, including President and CEO Jason Liberty, Chairman Richard Fain, and Silversea President Barbara Muckermann recently enjoyed a sneak preview of Silversea Cruises’ Silver Nova at the Meyer Werft facility in Eemshaven, Netherlands.
Royal Caribbean Group calls Silver Nova “the most environmentally conscious ultra-luxury cruise ship ever built.”

Royal Caribbean Group and Silversea executives toured the Silver Nova.
The executives were welcomed by Meyer Werft Managing Directors Jan and Bernard Meyer, and had the opportunity to enjoy an extensive tour of the ship and thank the workers for their dedication and hard work.
“Innovation drives our mission to provide the best vacations, responsibly, and Silver Nova embodies this commitment in every way. This stunning ship revolutionizes ultra-luxury cruising and represents an important step on our sustainability journey,” said Liberty.
“I would like to officially thank and congratulate the Meyer family, and the talented teams at Meyer Werft, Royal Caribbean Group, and Silversea for pushing industry boundaries to create such a pioneering ship.”
Silversea president Barbara Muckermann added: “Silver Nova embodies the vision of our brand and the evolution of our fleet, demonstrating the extent to which our guests are benefitting from our brand being part of Royal Caribbean Group.
“Silver Nova introduces an industry-leading approach to sustainability, an unprecedented openness to the world, and an entirely new take on luxury at sea. She is a beauty and I can’t wait to personally greet our guests on board, introducing them to the future of ultra-luxury cruise travel.”
Silver Nova is scheduled to depart on her maiden voyage on August 14, sailing round-trip from Fusina (Venice) over seven days.
After spending time in the Mediterranean, Silversea’s newest addition will cross the Atlantic to the U.S., undertaking voyages in the Caribbean and Central America, before embarking upon on the 71-day Grand Voyage South America 2024 on January 4, 2024.
