Silversea Cruises has introduced new measures to offer flexibility to travellers in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. The line hopes that, by taking away the uncertainties, the moves will encourage passengers to start planning trips.

The latest Silversea ship to undergo an extensive refurbishment, Silver Shadow, has emerged from drydock with redesigned interior spaces and an elegant new livery.

Silversea’s all-suite, 388-guest Silver Shadow is set to undergo an extensive refurbishment in November. The renovation will include the creation of a new atrium area on deck five, as well as major enhancements to all guest suites, corridors and many public spaces.

The agreements are subject to certain contingencies which are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019. Silversea signed a memorandum of understanding with German shipbuilder Meyer Werft to build two new vessels in a new Evolution Class, while there was also a deal with Shipyard De Hoop for a new expedition ship.

Silversea Expeditions is offering guests a place on its first crossing of the Northeast Passage – a remote and spectacular cruising route above the Arctic Circle.

Silversea Cruises has presented Fincantieri with an order for another ultra-luxury cruise ship, with delivery scheduled for quarter four of 2021.
