SILVERSEA has taken delivery of Silver Ray (pictured), the second ship in its Nova class.
Executives from Royal Caribbean Group (RCG) and shipyard Meyer Werft celebrated the occasion aboard Ray in the Netherlands today, with attendees participating in storied maritime traditions including the flag-changing and signing ceremony.
RCG President & Chief Executive Officer Jason Liberty and new Silversea President Bert Hernandez celebrated Ray’s official handover with Meyer Group Chair Bernard Meyer and Chief Executive Bernd Eikens.
“We are thrilled to take delivery of Silver Ray, the newest ultra-luxury and expedition jewel in Royal Caribbean Group’s game-changing fleet,” Liberty said.
“Delivering the best vacation experiences responsibly is at the heart of everything we do.
“We are fortunate to have the best people working together to dream and create unforgettable experiences for our guests, including the Meyer Werft shipyard team, whose partnership has enabled us to continue pushing boundaries.”
Ray is set to embark on her maiden voyage from Lisbon on 15 Jun, spending her inaugural season in the Mediterranean before crossing the Atlantic to the Americas in Dec.
She features reimagined pool decks which overlook the water on the starboard side and all-new outdoor venues including the Dusk Bar and the Marquee. MS
