The boss of Royal Caribbean Group has once again strongly suggested Silversea could follow its sister cruise brand, Celebrity Cruises, into the river cruise market.

Royal Caribbean Group chief Jason Liberty revealed the cruising giant carries around 10 million guests across its three brands each year 

Celebrity River Cruises will operate 33 sailings in 2027 and 160 departures in 2028. However Royal Caribbean Group has not announced anything about ultra-luxury line Silversea joining the premium brand on rivers.

Around 18 months ago, Jason Liberty, Royal Caribbean Group President and Chief Executive, said he would look for opportunities for the company's other brands including Silversea to expand into river cruising.
