Silver Nova, the first of two Nova-class ships from Silversea, is set to debut in Asia-Pacific as the region’s most luxurious ship from the end of this month until April 2025.

With the start of the ship’s inaugural season in Asia, Silver Nova arrived in Kushiro (Hokkaido), Japan, Sept. 27, and will embark on two voyages in the region before sailing over to Australia and New Zealand in November. Guests will have the chance to dive deep into the vibrant cities and magical landscapes of the two destinations on seven sailings until February 2025. Afterwards, Silver Nova will return to Asia until April 2025.

Silversea’s Nova-class ships pay testament to Royal Caribbean Group’s commitment to delivering the world’s best vacation experiences while being eco-friendly. With energy-efficiency standards, Silver Nova and her sister ship Silver Ray are 40 percent more energy efficient than required international standards.

“We are thrilled to finally be celebrating the arrival of the beautiful Silver Nova in Asia-Pacific,” said Bert Hernandez, president, Silversea. “Anticipation has been building among our valued guests and travel advisors in the region, and we’re delighted to be able to introduce them to one of the most pioneering ships in experiential luxury cruise travel at long last. Silver Nova will be the most luxurious ship sailing in Asia-Pacific until she leaves the region in April 2025, with her striking architectural innovations, advanced energy efficiency standards, and unprecedented range of suites and public venues.”
