Silversea has unveiled plans for its first-ever ship lengthening which will see Silver Spirit stretched to accommodate 34 new suites.
The transformation will begin in early March, 2018, at the Palermo shipyard of Fincantieri.

Work on stretching Silver Spirit will begin in March 2018
Silver Spirit will be lengthened by inserting a prebuilt 49-ft long midsection housing six Silver Suites, 26 Veranda Suites and two Panorama Suites. Technical upgrades will also be implemented.
The ship’s extensive redesign takes its inspiration from the innovations of the line’s new flagship, Silver Muse. Creative dining concepts will be incorporated, and stylish décor enhancements will be made to existing suites and throughout public spaces and outdoor areas, providing an increased level of comfort and spaciousness.
“Based on the wonderful feedback from guests sailing onboard our beautiful Silver Muse, we believe the comprehensive makeover we have planned for Silver Spirit will enrich the onboard experience and be equally appreciated by guests,” said Christian Sauleau of Silversea Fleet operations.
“They will see many of Silver Muse’s innovations and elevated comforts embodied in our reimagined Silver Spirit.”
Fincantieri’s Giorgio Rizzo said: “The lengthening of a ship is a complex and highly technical procedure. From start to finish it will be supervised by Fincantieri including the design, execution and delivery to the shipowner.”
