Executives from Silversea and Fincantieri attended a delivery ceremony to welcome the 10th ship to the cruise line’s fleet on Friday (12 November).

Following a video screening of the official coin and flag ceremonies, Roberto Martinoli, Silversea’s president and chief executive, penned his signature to officially take delivery of Silver Dawn.

Martinoli said the company has "reached a huge milestone" in adding the vessel to its fleet.

"As well as the tireless efforts of the teams at Fincantieri and Silversea Cruises, I would like to recognise the great contribution of the Royal Caribbean Group," he added.

"With Silver Dawn, we affirm our position as the leader in ultra-luxury cruising. I look forward to welcoming our guests onboard Silver Dawn from spring 2022."

The fourth ship from Silversea’s collaboration with Fincantieri, Silver Dawn is a sister ship to Silversea’s Silver Muse, which was built at the shipyard in April 2017, and Silver Moon, which was delivered in Ancona in October 2020.

Silver Dawn can accommodate 596 guests in 298 ocean-view suites and has a crew-to-guest ratio of 1:1.45.
