Silversea's sister ships Silver Nova and Silver Ray shattered traditional cruise ship architecture with a horizontal deck plan, an outward-facing asymmetrical pool deck, and 7 new aft-corner suite categories—headlined by the 1,324 sq. ft. Otium Suite with a 270-degree private balcony whirlpool.
By moving the funnel and glass elevators to port, Silver Nova and Silver Ray open an uninterrupted 1,300 sq. m. cliffside pool deck facing the ocean and port of call.
Silver Nova and Silver Ray are hardware twins (728 guests, 54,700 GT); choose between them by 2026-2027 itinerary, then target the new Medallion Suite (527 sq. ft.) for the best mid-tier balcony value or the Deck 7/8 Aft-Corner Otium Suite (1,324 sq. ft.) for the largest private whirlpool terrace at sea.

ASYMMETRICAL POOL DECK • DECKS 10–11
By moving the funnel and glass elevators to port, Silver Nova and Silver Ray open an uninterrupted 1,300 sq. m. cliffside pool deck facing the ocean and port of call.
OTIUM SUITE • 1,324 SQ. FT. + WHIRLPOOL
Positioned on the starboard aft corners of Decks 7 and 8, the Otium Suite features Silversea's first private balcony whirlpool and floor-to-ceiling wrap-around glass.
S.A.L.T. CULINARY ECOSYSTEM • 9 VENUES
Nine dining venues including the Marquee al fresco grill, La Terrazza, Atlantide, and an upper-deck S.A.L.T. Kitchen & Bar with regional wine pairings.
100% BUTLER-SERVICED SUITES • DECKS 6–9
Unlike older ships that split suites and public lounges on the same deck, Silver Nova and Silver Ray place all 364 suites across four pure residential decks (Decks 6 to 9).
On Silver Nova and Silver Ray, all suites run horizontally along Decks 6, 7, 8, and 9, while all restaurants, lounges, and bars sit below on Decks 3–5 or above on Decks 10–11. If you book a suite on Deck 9 Starboard midship, be aware that the overhanging Deck 10 Pool Deck sits one level above you; for absolute quiet, our Silversea desk recommends Decks 7 and 8 Midship-to-Aft, which are cushioned by suites both above and below. Furthermore, thanks to Royal Caribbean Group's Loyalty Status Match, if you hold Diamond/Pinnacle in Crown & Anchor or Elite/Zenith in Celebrity Captain's Club, we automatically match your tier into Silversea Venetian Society privileges.
“By comparing Port-to-Port vs. Door-to-Door math in USD for our Dallas couple, we saved them $3,400 on a 10-night Mediterranean sailing on Silver Ray, placed them in a Deck 8 Medallion Suite (527 sq. ft.), and added a $600 Signature Shipboard Credit.”
