Silversea has unveiled details of the upcoming refurbishment planned for Silver Endeavour. Following a successful inaugural season in Antarctica, the expedition ship will enter the San Giorgio del Porto shipyard in Genova, Italy, on April 3, for a range of enhancements. The line will craft 10 new suites and introduce two new suite categories.
Replacing the former helicopter hangar amidships, Silversea will install two Master Suites and four Signature Suites, introducing two new suite categories to increase guests’ accommodation options. Starboard side on deck five, four Classic Veranda Suites will replace the Medical Centre, which will relocate to the space currently occupied by the Casino on deck four.
Silver Endeavour’s two new Master Suites, located towards the ship’s aft, will provide 270-degree views from their 312-square-foot verandas and large living areas. Spanning 1,163 square feet, the two Master suites will have expansive living and dining areas, bedrooms with king-sized or twin beds and a walk-in closet, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate whirlpool bath. The living room will include a convertible sofa to accommodate a third guest.
Four new Signature Suites, ranging from 721 to 850 square feet, will offer an open living room and dining area, an expansive bedroom with king-sized or twin beds, floor-to-ceiling windows and a walk-in closet, and an adjoining bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower and whirlpool bath. The living room will include a convertible sofa to accommodate a third guest, as well as floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Verandas spanning 167 to 269 square feet will provide ideal spots from which guests can relax and take in the destination.
The four Classic Veranda Suites will be installed on the ship’s starboard side on deck four, maintaining the traditional layout, features and amenities of the line’s existing Veranda Suites. Each of the 356-square-foot suites will include a veranda of 52 square feet.
Additionally, the removal of the Casino on Deck Four will create space for four new crew cabins, which will host seven more crew members. The extra cabins will enlarge the ship’s expedition team to 22, offering guests greater access to more specialists for a deeper immersion into the destination.
Upcoming enhancements will also include the installation of handcrafted Lalique crystal panels in La Dame, Silversea’s signature French restaurant.
Following Silver Endeavour’s refurbishment in Genova, the ship will undertake two voyages in the British Isles and Iceland. Its inaugural Arctic season will begin from June 3, with nine voyages set to include many of the Polar Region’s most remote destinations, including Pond Inlet, Cape York and Qaanaaq, among others.
