Silver Spirit is the name for Silversea Cruises’ 540-passenger all-suite ship, under construction at Fincantieri’s Ancona yard. The 36,000gt vessel is set to join the fleet in late 2009.

In announcing the name at Seatrade Miami today, Silversea also disclosed details of the vessel being designed by architect Giacomo Mortola.

The design mirrors the brand’s existing ships plus a new supper club, an Asian restaurant and an expanded spa.

Accommodations will feature more of the quick-to-sell-out Silver Suites, with a total of 26, and more Veranda Suites, 222. There will also be six Grand Suites and two Owner's Suites. All but 12 of the 270 suites will have verandas.

In addition to introducing a new supper club and the Asian restaurant, Silversea will reprise familiar dining venues include The Restaurant, The Wine Restaurant and the casual Pool Grille.

The new Spa at Silversea, which premiered aboard Silver Shadow’s world cruise last year, will be rolled out aboard the new vessel with dramatically more space. And Silver Spirit will feature many of the same lounges found on the line’s existing ships, including an Observation Lounge, Vista Lounge (similar to Panorama Lounge on the current fleet), Show Lounge, Humidor and Pool Bar, plus a new Lobby Bar styled along the lines of a European hotel, featuring Italian coffees, champagne, wine and spirits -- all served at no charge.
