Royal Caribbean Cruises has contracted German shipbuilder Meyer Werft to construct two new vessels for Monaco-based Silversea Cruises.
These will be the first ships of the Evolution class, a new class of ultra-luxury vessels in the Silversea fleet.
The delivery of the first vessel is expected in 2022.
