Silversea Cruises christened its new Silver Muse luxury cruise ship at a Port Hercule ceremony in Monaco late last week.
Silversea Chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio hosted the event, saying in a press release:
“The close ties between Silversea and the Principality of Monaco reflect not only our commitment to this beautiful region but also to the history and values to which we adhere. Silversea is an Italian, family-owned business, yet our heart will always be shared with the Principality as we continue to move forward.
"As the home of Silversea, Monaco was always the natural choice for the christening of our new flagship, Silver Muse, and it is with great pleasure that we can share this milestone with both the residents and guests of the Principality.”
In attendance were His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco; His Excellency Minister of State of the Principality, Serge Telle; His Excellency Archbishop of Monaco Barsi; Mr. Peter Greenberg (CBS-TV Anchor and News Travel Editor, Master of Ceremony); Mr. Geoffrey Kent (Abercrombie & Kent Founder) and Mr. Gerald Lawless (Chairman of WTCC).
Festivities included live performances from the Sinfonietta Orchestra of Rome and violinist Charlie Siem.
“On behalf of the Principality of Monaco, I would like to extend a warm welcome to Silver Muse, its crew and passengers,” said H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, attending the ceremony. “She represents the next generation of cruise ships with respect to both fuel efficiency and energy saving technology. We share with Silversea common values and principles surrounding responsible environmental practices, and the development of sustainable business activities. The preservation of the oceans is a crucial priority for future generations.”

Silversea takes its Monegasque history wherever it goes. The company is not only based in Monaco, but its now nine ships share the Principality’s culture, traditions and values internationally across over 900 worldwide ports every year.
“Silversea is associated with exceptional quality and voyages that leave long-lasting memories of discovery and wonder,” added Roberto Martinoli, CEO of Silversea Cruises, in the press release.
“As we continue to invest in our entire fleet, Silver Muse offers guests a taste of what is to come. Silver Muse represents an evolution of the Silversea hallmarks that set the company apart from the competition. With eight dining options, offering 28 varieties of culinary delights, Silver Muse has redefined the art of gastronomy at sea. With more open-air spaces and state-of-the-art facilities on board, we are positive that both new and returning guests will enjoy unforgettable memories.”
The Fincantieri-built, 596-guest Silver Muse features three restaurants entirely new to Silversea: Atlantide for seafood, Indochine for Asian and Spaccanapoli for Italian. Altogether, the ship touts eight dining venues. Also showcased onboard is Zàgara Beauty Spa and its keen focus on the five senses.
Trade and media feedback has been very positive, exceeding expectations during the ship’s first two weeks of sailing.
