SILVERSEA'S ITALIAN HERITAGE With true Italian passion for embracing the best that life has to offer, the Lefebvre family of Rome conceived of a pioneering company that would offer an experience of personal travel unrivalled in the world. Like most success stories, the idea was simple. Specially designed ships with renowned European style that would be as elegant and spacious as some of the finest hotels, as warm and inviting as gracious homes. The components would be customized and complimentary, providing for each guest’s individual tastes. The name “Silversea” was chosen as it connotes quality and luxury, and captures the romance and sensations of the sea.
