Royal Caribbean Cruises and Silversea Cruises have signed an agreement for the construction of three new ships for Silversea Cruises, the ultra-luxury expedition cruise brand.
Dutch shipbuilder, Shipyard De Hoop, is to construct a new expedition vessel, named Silver Origin, which will serve the Galapagos Islands itinerary currently sailed by Silver Galapagos. The new ship is expected for delivery in March 2020.
The brand has also signed a memorandum of understanding with German shipbuilder Meyer Werft to build two more vessels in a new Evolution Class, with delivery of the first expected in 2022.
