Royal Caribbean Is Giving Its New Silversea Fleet a Luxury Upgrade
Skift Take
It's probably good news that the first move Royal Caribbean made after closing its majority stake in Silversea was announcing improvements to its fleet. We'll be curious to see what those upgrades include — and how the experience changes for passengers.
Royal Caribbean Cruises announced Tuesday that its new luxury addition will get some sprucing up.
Under a multi-year plan dubbed "Project Invictus," Silversea Cruises' nine-ship fleet will undergo a series of upgrades.
Royal Caribbean, which announced plans in June to pay $1 billion for a 66.6 percent stake in the small luxury line, did not detail the enhancements or say how much it will spend. The program will include both onboard tweaks and major ship overhauls.
"Our intent is to solidify our already strong leadership position with an exciting array of upgrades that thrill our guests," Silversea CEO Roberto Martinoli said in a press release.
