Silver Ray: ship guide

Best for: Couples who want Nova Class space and dining with Mediterranean summers from Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Rome and Venice and round trip Caribbean sailings from Miami in winter. Sails from Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Civitavecchia (Rome), Venice, Lisbon, Miami, Bridgetown in 2026 and 2027.
About Silver Ray
Silver Ray is the second Nova Class ship, delivered by Meyer Werft in 2024 as a sister to Silver Nova. At 54,700 gross tons it carries 728 guests with a crew of 544, and it shares the class’s horizontal, asymmetrical layout that pushes the Atrium, lounges and the pool to the ship’s side so public rooms look straight out to sea. Every suite has a veranda and butler service, and Silversea says many offer a 270-degree view from sea to sky.
Eight restaurants plus the Arts Café cover Atlantide, La Terrazza, La Dame, Kaiseki, the Silver Note jazz supper club, the S.A.L.T. Kitchen and S.A.L.T. Chef’s Table, and The Marquee, the open-air home of The Grill and Spaccanapoli found only on Silver Nova and Silver Ray. The Dusk Bar sky bar, The Shelter, the S.A.L.T. Bar and Dolce Vita handle evenings, the Venetian Lounge spans two decks, and the Otium Spa anchors wellness.
In 2026 and 2027 Silver Ray splits its year between the Western and Central Mediterranean and the Caribbean. From April to November it sails 7 to 14 day voyages from Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Venice, then crosses from Lisbon to Miami for round trip Caribbean sailings of 11 to 14 nights plus Bridgetown legs through winter. It suits couples who want Nova Class space and dining with a Florida home port in the cooler months.
