Preview: Silversea's Silver Origin
At a presentation at the Seatrade Cruise Global conference in Miami Beach, Silversea Cruises unveiled new details about the Silver Origin, the 100-passenger ship it is building at a Dutch shipyard for use in the Galapagos Islands. Silversea said it is the cruise line's first ever destination-specific ship. It is scheduled to start sailing in 2020. Many interior spaces were detailed for the first time at the convention. Bright, colorful motifs and regional materials will accentuate the design. Silver Origin's public spaces were designed by HBA Miami, while GEM -- Design for Cruise Ships, the team behind the interior design of Silver Muse, oversaw the interior design of the ship's suites.
