Silversea’s Prince Albert Named in Monte Carlo

Last week in Monte Carlo’s harbour, the Silversea fleet was finally joined by Prince Albert II for a naming ceremony in the presence of Prince Albert II of Monaco. The ceremony also included a blessing from H.E Monsignor Fabrice Gallo, Prelate of the Pope. Red and white ribbon representing the colours of the Grimaldi family was cut by Prince Albert II.  

"This is a very exciting and proud day for Silversea," said Manfredi Lefebvre, Chairman of Silversea. "We are extremely honoured that His Serene Highness Albert II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco, has personally dedicated the ship that will bear his name.  May her many journeys of discovery always honour His Serene Highness through a commitment to responsible travel."

Silversea President and CEO, Amerigo Perasso commented, "It is indeed a great privilege that His Serene Highness is here with us today and is the namesake of our new cruise ship.  In keeping with his legacy of exploration and environmental conservation, it is our hope that by educating and connecting people with distant cultures and wildlife, the Prince Albert II can open eyes and foster respect and greater care for our planet and its inhabitants." 

Silversea’s Prince Albert II has the largest average size accommodation of any expedition cruise ship as well as twenty premium suites with between 350 and 675 sq. ft. of living space, butler service and either private verandas or double private French balconies. The ship cruises for the first time on 12^th June from London to the Arctic Circle, Iceland, Syallbard and Greenland for the summer.
