Silversea - Silver Nova

The Silver Nova was ordered in October 2018 from the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, under the name Project Evolution, the first of two ships. The final ship design dimensions came to a gross tonnage: 54,700, length of 243 meters and 30 meters wide.

The ship features hybrid technology that enables the ship to achieve a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and is projected to achieve an Energy Efficiency Design Index rating approximately 25% better than applicable International Maritime Organization requirements. The Silver Nova is designed to operate emission-free in ports, with 4-megawatt fuel cell system as well as batteries. The fuel cells and batteries are designed to supply enough electricity in port to power the hotel operations when the ship is not using shore power.

The public space layout and design was primarily completed by notable cruise ship designers Wilson Butler Architects of Boston and GEM of Genoa. The layout features a unique asymmetrical design, offsetting the engine casing, and allowing for wider connected views to the ocean on the open decks and in public venues.The final ship design has accommodations for 728 passengers in 364 suites and has a crew of 556.
