Silversea has officially welcomed its third expedition ship, Silver Discoverer, to its expedition fleet in a christening ceremony at Singapore’s Marina Bay Cruise Centre.
A traditional Chinese lion dance performance and Bhangra Folk dancers provided colourful local entertainment for the quayside event.
Silversea's senior executive team and company chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d'Ovidio were on hand to welcome guests including local dignitaries, trade and media from around the world.
Following a blessing, honorary godmother Elda Turco Bulgherini, professor of navigation law at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, officially welcomed Silver Discoverer to the Silversea Expedition Fleet by cutting a ceremonial ribbon.
"This is an exciting and proud moment for Silversea," said Lefebvre d'Ovidio. "With itineraries encompassing some of the most fascinating and remote regions of the Pacific, Silver Discoverer will take our guests to places where few people have ever set foot – offering incredible opportunities not just for travel and learning, but for life-enriching cultural experiences."
The 120-guest vessel is fresh from a major refurbishment with enhancements including new carpets, upholstery and photography.
Silver Discoverer will embark on her maiden voyage from Broome to Darwin on April 2, exploring Australia's spectacular Kimberley Coast.
