Silversea - Silver Nova

Silver Nova is not just a new ship from Silversea; it embodies a new standard of luxury travel.

This Somma voyages takes place aboard the Silver Nova, a modern small ship designed to feel calm, spacious, and comfortable throughout the week.

Introduced in 2023, Silver Nova offers a sense of ease that supports the Somma rhythm. The ship’s layout allows for generous personal space, quiet public areas, and clear views of the sea, creating an environment that feels open rather than busy.

With fewer guests onboard and a thoughtful approach to design, days unfold without crowds and evenings feel intimate and relaxed. The ship serves as a welcoming home base, whether returning from a day ashore or gathering for performances and conversations in the evening.

Silver Nova also reflects Silversea’s ongoing commitment to more responsible travel. Its design and technology focus on efficiency and reduced environmental impact, allowing guests to experience the journey with care for the places visited.

The ship supports the Somma experience without distraction, offering comfort, space, and a steady presence as the week unfolds.

THIS IS SILVERSEA, THE NOVA WAY

Silver Nova reflects a considered approach to modern travel, where comfort, space, and care for the places visited are held in balance.

The ship’s design emphasizes openness and connection to the sea. Suites are arranged to make the most of light and views, including aft suites that offer wide, uninterrupted perspectives as the ship moves from place to place. Throughout the ship, spaces feel open and calm, allowing the journey to unfold without crowding or distraction.

Every suite is supported by attentive service, with a team onboard whose presence feels helpful rather than intrusive. The scale of the ship allows for a high level of care and attention, creating an atmosphere that feels personal and well paced.

Dining is an important part of life onboard. Meals are thoughtfully prepared and enjoyed without rushing, offering a range of settings that suit both quiet evenings and more social moments.

Silver Nova is also designed with an eye toward responsible travel. Its systems and operations aim to reduce environmental impact while respecting the destinations visited, allowing guests to experience the world with care.

Together, these elements create a setting that supports the Somma experience: comfortable, spacious, and designed for a week that feels considered from beginning to end.
