Silversea Cruises unveils details of its highly anticipated collection of suites set to debut on Silver Nova in summer 2023. FEaturing 364 suites across 13 categories, Silver Nova—the first vessel in the cruise line’s Nova class—will feature an entirely new design with an asymmetrical configuration and horizontal layout introducing a new generation of suites.
“Marking a new era in ultra-luxury cruise travel, the Silver Nova suite experience represents an evolution of Silversea’s industry-leading offering,” says Barbara Muckermann, chief commercial officer of Silversea Cruises, in press materials. “With her asymmetrical configuration and horizontal layout, Silver Nova will offer guests a new generation of spacious suites that are unseen in Silversea’s fleet. Not only will Silver Nova surpass our guests’ expectations in terms of comfort, but she will be one of the most environmentally conscious cruise ships ever built, paving the way for the future of ultra-luxury, sustainable cruising.”
Meet the Suites
With the new horizontal layout, suites run the entire length of the ship on four decks and include seven new categories. The collection comprises greater variety, including brand new premium aft suites—a first for Silversea.
Among these new suite categories are:
- The Signature Suite—The Signature Suite offers sweeping views from all interior spaces. The Signature Suite offers spacious interiors, including a dining, living and sleeping area and a luxurious bathroom, but it also features one of the largest balconies on board with ample space in which to relax. The Signature Suite also includes custom-made luxury mattresses, two large flat-screen televisions, a sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, and an espresso machine.
Total size: 700 sq. ft. Balcony: 172 sq. ft.
- The Otium Suite—Inspired by Silversea’s new wellness program, Otium, the Otium Suite offers the most spacious interiors aboard Silver Nova for the ultimate suite experience at sea, located in the premium aft corner position. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows in all living areas, it offers 270-degree views from the inside, while its balcony is the most spacious on board and features a private whirlpool. The Otium Suite also includes custom-made luxury mattresses, two large flat-screen televisions, a sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, and an espresso machine.
Total size: 1,324 sq. ft. Balcony: 431 sq. ft.
Among the most spacious suites at sea, Silver Nova’s suites range in size from 357 sq. ft. to 1,324 sq. ft. All 364 suites offer more space particularly the bathrooms and walk-in closets. The bathroom has been refined to include a modern oversized mirror, a large vanity with two faucets, a spacious walk-in shower, and a bathtub or whirlpool. The walk-in closet has been reimagined to provide a more significant openness, particularly in the Veranda Suites, and includes design details, such as dedicated compartments for personal jewellery.
The suites’ materials and textures have been thoughtfully selected, representing exceptional quality and the finest Italian craftsmanship. Silver Nova introduces new, intuitive and modern design details, including elegant, soft lighting; headboards with integrated reading lights; and a reimagined walk-in closet design. Layered and curated, the color palette features a blend of soft and neutral tones, with deeper but subtle accents inspired by the sea and earth.
“Our longstanding relationship with Silversea Cruises enabled us to perfectly blend heritage with design innovation in Silver Nova,” says Giacomo Mortola of GEM – Design for Cruise Ships, in a press statement. “It was important to maintain Silversea’s elegant, Italian DNA, with whispered luxury and a consistent brand vision. But with Silver Nova, we had the opportunity to create something that is truly pioneering in the industry. The crowning accomplishment is the Otium Suite, complete with a Jacuzzi on the balcony and 270-degree views, which is among the most luxurious suites at sea.”
Luxury Experience
Through an innovative structural design, enlarged floor-to-ceiling windows replace exterior walls in select suites. All suites feature a private balcony with a stunning glass balustrade and spectacular views from most living spaces, enabling a seamless openness to the destination.
Guests in all suites aboard Silver Nova will enjoy enhancements from Silversea’s new Otium wellness program, which includes indulgent sleeping and bathing experiences; the first balcony experience at sea; and a new comfort food menu, available 24-hours per day, which is designed to enhance guests’ movie nights, pre-dinner aperitifs, and other moments of leisure with snacks that include lobster and caviar in brioche rolls, a selection of gourmet popcorns, and other premium bites. As part of Silversea’s comprehensive all-inclusive offering, all suites feature butler service, complimentary in-suite dining around the clock, a minibar stocked with guests’ preferences, plush bathrobes and slippers, a pillow menu, luxury bath amenities, and complimentary unlimited WiFi.
