Silversea Cruises’ new ultra-luxury ship Silver Spirit has embarked on its maiden voyage in Europe.
The 540-passenger vessel left on an 11-day cruise from Barcelona to Lisbon before Christmas.
“Although Silver Spirit is larger than her sister ships, she has the same intimate feel, relaxed ambiance, and sense of camaraderie so treasured by our international clientele,” said company president and CEO Amerigo Perasso.
He added that the delivery of the 36,000 ton ship represented a commitment to the development of the Silversea brand.
“With her Art Deco touches lending a timeless elegance, this new flagship of our fleet represents an important evolution in the design of our vessels.”
Perasso added: “We have heavily invested over the past few years in expanding and upgrading the fleet, a strategic decision that has helped us achieve record bookings this year.
“Silversea will close 2009 with more than 70% of next year’s revenue plan already in the books.”
Silver Spirit has the largest suites in the Silversea fleet – with 95% featuring a private balcony – and one of the highest space-to-guest ratios in the industry.
