CONSTRUCTION has started on
Silversea Cruises’ Silver Muse with
a milestone keel-laying ceremony
in Genoa, Italy.
The ceremony is a maritime
tradition with welding a coin into
the keel of the ship said to bring
good luck during the build and to
the captain and crew during her
later life.
Silversea has taken this one step
further by welding eight coins
into the keel of Silver Muse, with
coins coming from each continent
the line sails to as well as a
specially designed Silver Muse
commemorative coin.
That means there’s a South
African Rand, a US 50c piece, a
Brazilian real, a Euro, a Singapore
dollar, a special Antarctic
Trust and of course a good old
Australian dollar too.
Silversea ceo Enzo Visone said
the keel laying was a significant
milestone for the line, with Silver
Muse to sail throughout Europe,
Canada, North and South America
as well as the Caribbean, taking in
more than 130 destinations in 34
countries.
The ship has 298 suites which
can accommodate 596 guests.
