Ship-Specific Highlights
- Hybrid propulsion combining LNG dual-fuel engines with a 4 MW hydrogen fuel-cell system and batteries, enabling emissions-free operation while in port.
- An asymmetrical 'horizontal' design that groups all suites over four decks and offsets the engine casing for wider, uninterrupted sea views.
- The S.A.L.T. (Sea And Land Taste) culinary program - S.A.L.T. Kitchen, S.A.L.T. Bar and the S.A.L.T. Lab test kitchen - offering destination-inspired menus and cooking classes.
- All-suite, all-inclusive accommodation with a private veranda and a personal butler for every guest across 364 suites.
- A curated collection of more than 1,700 artworks - the primary element distinguishing Silver Ray from her sister Silver Nova - including a muraled library ceiling.
