Silversea Cruises has revealed the first suite renders of Silver Nova, confirming an all-new configuration with suites running the entire length of the ship on four decks. The brand new layout was exclusively foreshadowed by LATTE in December 2021.
A key new design for the first of two Nova Class ships is a unique glass balustrade on most balconies, providing uninterrupted floor-to-ceiling views from suites.
Set to launch in Summer 2023, Silver Nova will feature 364 suites across 13 categories, including seven brand new varieties for its the Nova-class of ship. Within the range is the Otium Suite, also revealed first by LATTE.
“Marking a new era in ultra-luxury cruise travel, the Silver Nova suite experience represents an evolution of Silversea’s industry-leading offering,” said Barbara Muckermann, Chief Commercial Officer of Silversea Cruises.
“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,” Muckermann said.
Silver Nova‘s horizontal layout means suites will run the entire length of the ship on four decks.
“Enhancing the luxury of choice, Silver Nova will introduce an unprecedented collection of suites that are among the most luxurious at sea,” the luxury cruise line boasts. “The collection comprises greater variety, including brand new premium aft suites – a first for Silversea.”
Among the brand new accommodation offerings are:
The Signature Suite
Total size: 65 square metres | Balcony: 16 square metres.
The Signature Suite offers an immersive destination experience with sweeping views from all interior spaces. The Signature Suite not only offers comfortable and 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 and unwind. The Signature Suite also includes custom-made luxury mattresses, two large flat-screen televisions, a sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, and an espresso machine.
The Otium Suite
Total size: 123 square metres | Balcony: 40 square metres
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 unlocks unprecedented 270-degree views from the inside, while its balcony is the most spacious onboard 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.
The Luxury of Space
Among the most spacious suites at sea, Silver Nova’s suites range in size from 33 sqm to 123 sqm. All 364 suites have been re-designed, 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 lavish bathtub or whirlpool. The walk-in closet has been reimagined to provide a more significant openness, particularly in the Veranda Suites. Furthermore, all suites benefit from large balconies, ranging from 5 sqm to 40 sqm, with 270-degree ocean and land views from select suites.
Heritage meets Evolution
Recently named a ‘Legend of Design’ at the inaugural Cruise Ship Interiors Awards, architect Giacomo Mortola and his firm GEM spearheaded the design of the suites on board Silver Nova. Leveraging four decades of expertise and a long-lasting collaboration with Silversea, Mortola and his team took inspiration from the ‘whispered luxury’ of Silversea’s recent ships – Silver Muse, Silver Moon, Silver Dawn and Silver Origin.
The suites’ materials and textures represent 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 colour 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,” remarked Giacomo Mortola of GEM – Design for Cruise Ships. “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,” Mortola said.
Unparalleled Openness to Destination
Through an innovative structural design – in which the superstructure is brought inside the ship and enlarged floor-to-ceiling windows replace exterior walls in select suites – each suite provides guests with an immersive connection with the outside world. 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, as previously flagged by LATTE– details here.
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.
