Silversea’s New Silver Muse Christened in Monaco

Silversea has officially christened its new flagship, the Silver Muse, in a ceremony in Monaco.

The new luxury cruise ship launched earlier this month with a presentation ceremony at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Italy. After that Travel Agent sailed on a special preview cruise where Silversea executives filled us in on the line’s plans for the new ship. You can check out our in-depth tour of the Silver Muse here.

Following the christening ceremony the ship will sail its official inaugural voyage from Monte Carlo to Nice, lasting 13 days. After that, it will continue offering Mediterranean cruises before heading to its winter homeport in Port Everglades, Florida, October 12 – 13.
