About the Ship

Silver Ray, delivered in 2024, is Silversea’s second Nova-class ultra-luxury ship designed to bring the destination closer than ever before. Constructed by Meyer Werft, this impressive vessel achieves a high space-to-guest ratio, ensuring that every moment on board feels calm, roomy, and indulgently personal.

Welcoming just 728 guests with 544 crew members, the service feels personal yet low-key. What really makes Silver Ray special is its extensive use of glass, creating nearly uninterrupted panoramic views in public spaces and private suites.

You can choose from elegant rooms like the Otium Suite, Owner’s Suite, or Grand Suite, all featuring lovely extras and big balconies.

The ship has eight different restaurants, including La Terrazza and Atlantide, plus a Chef’s Table option. Outside, there’s a trendy pool deck, the cool Dusk Bar, and an open-air sky bar ideal for sunset cocktails.

As a sister ship to Silver Nova, Silver Ray continues Silversea’s tradition of innovation, style, and destination-focused cruising.

Suites

All suites aboard the Silver Ray offer stunning ocean views and a lovely, very comfortable space. The ship caters to all tastes with a selection of refined accommodations – ranging from the classic veranda stateroom to the huge Otium Suite.

Let’s explore in detail what is offered:

Classic to Premium Veranda Suites (Entry-Level Luxury)

Currently, you can select from four veranda suites: Classic, Superior, Deluxe, and Premium. Each one shares the same arrangement and size– 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), which includes a private veranda measuring 5 m² (about 54 sq ft).

They all look great, with those big glass doors from floor to ceiling and a nice sitting space plus a marble bathroom. What’s different is where they are on the ship: higher decks mean better views.

These suites are ideal for anyone looking to enjoy everything Silversea offers– luxury included– but in a more intimate setting.

Medallion & Junior Suites (Mid-Level Elegance)

Within the middle range, one will find the Medallion Suite, Premium Medallion Suite, and Junior Grand Suite.

As an example, the Medallion Suites provide additional room for living and storing items. They measure 49 square meters, plus an 8-square-meter veranda.

The Junior Grand Suite takes things a step further– it measures between 54 and 58 square meters. This gives you a larger lounge area plus an elegant layout ideal either for extended trips or couples wanting extra space to relax in.

Silver to Otium Suites (Ultimate Luxury)

Positioned at the top end are the most luxurious accommodations available on the ship. Spanning an impressive 63 to 123 square meters, these suites boast large balconies and separate living areas.

They also feature spacious bathrooms and the highest quality interiors found anywhere on board.

Yet the Otium Suite sets a new standard for itself. It offers an enormous 40-square-meter veranda alongside unrivaled privacy plus pampering— essentially Silversea’s ultimate take on luxury at sea.
