About Silver Nova
Silver Nova launched Silversea’s Nova Class in 2023. Built by Meyer Werft at 54,700 gross tons for 728 guests and a crew of 544, it is the largest ship Silversea has built, yet it keeps close to one crew member per guest. Its asymmetrical, horizontal layout shifts public rooms to one side so the Atrium, lounges and the pool open directly to the sea, and Silversea calls the pool deck on decks 10 and 11 the largest in its fleet. All 364 suites have a veranda and a butler.
Dining runs to eight restaurants plus the Arts Café: Atlantide, La Terrazza, La Dame, Kaiseki, the Silver Note supper club, The Marquee (home of The Grill and Spaccanapoli under open skies) and the S.A.L.T. Kitchen with its 11-course S.A.L.T. Chef’s Table. Bars include The Dusk Bar sky bar, The Shelter on deck 3, the S.A.L.T. Bar, Dolce Vita and the Panorama and Observation lounges, and the Otium Spa carries Silversea’s wellness concept into every suite.
Through 2026 and 2027 Silver Nova is Silversea’s Greek Isles and Eastern Mediterranean ship, sailing 7 to 14 day voyages round trip from Piraeus (Athens) with Venice, Rome, Barcelona and Lisbon legs in spring and fall. It crosses to the Caribbean each December for Bridgetown, San Juan and Miami sailings, and on January 6, 2027 it leaves Miami on a 75 day Grand Voyage around South America, including Rio de Janeiro during Carnival. It suits couples who want the newest, largest Silversea ship with the widest choice of venues.
