Silversea's Silver Spirit has left Fincantieri Shipyard in Palermo 14.9 metres longer, after her complex lengthening and refurbishment project was completed.
Having been cut in half, lengthened with the insertion of a pre-built section, and renovated, Silver Spirit has embarked upon her inaugural voyage to Barcelona from Rome.
Silver Spirit's 59-day dry dock period ran to schedule, with 1,000 workers committing 450,000 hours to complete the project.
An eight-restaurant arrangement has increased dining options, with the introduction of Spaccanapoli, Silver Note, Atlantide, and Indochine, while other upgrades include the Arts Café, Tor's Observation Library, Zagara Spa, Panorama Lounge, and the Dolce Vita lounge.
In September, Silver Spirit will cross to North America, where she will remain until November.
