Silver Muse, the world’s newest ultra-luxury cruise ship and the ninth vessel in the Silversea fleet, was christened in her homeport of Monaco on Thursday in a festive atmosphere. Chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio’s 17-year-old daughter, Costanza Lefebvre, did the honours as godmother, highlighting that Silversea is a company based on family values.
In Australia, Silversea’s third largest market, the christening was marked by a harbourside cocktail reception at Park Hyatt Sydney on Thursday night, hosted by Amber Wilson, Managing Director Asia-Pacific, Silversea Cruises, and Alison Roberts-Brown, Regional Director, Australia & New Zealand, Monaco Government Tourism & Convention Authority. Trade and media guests, including LATTE, sipped on Pommery Champagne and supped on delicate creations of scallops and arancini balls. The glamorous black-and-white dress code lent an air of sophistication to the evening, a concept the 596-passenger ‘simply divine’ Silver Muse embodies.
Dining is at the centre of the Silversea experience, with three new restaurants debuting on the new vessel: Atlantide for seafood, Indochine for Asia-inspired fusion, and Spaccanapoli for Italian-themed cuisine beside the pool. Silver Muse is also home to the Zàgara Beauty Spa.
With Silversea’s Monégasque home and history, the principality played a key role in the celebration. In Port Hercule, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco was among the distinguished guests, alongside Abercrombie & Kent founder, Geoffrey Kent. In Sydney, Monaco Tourism supported the evening, taking the opportunity to promote Emirates’ new A380 service to Nice, with helicopter transfers to the principality with Monacair (complimentary for first-class guests; at a cost for business and economy passengers).
While attendees in Monaco were treated to performances by the Sinfonietta Orchestra of Rome, those in Australia were transported by the sublime strains of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

Mary Rossi Travel has had the pleasure of working with Alison, a leader in the marketing of luxury tourism products, ever since her time in Japan when she was promoting international high-end hotels. For Monaco she and her team orchestrate exceptional events, educational trips and offer a very reactive, reliable information service for my consultants.
Atout France works closely with Tourism Garden, the representative of Monaco in Australia and is proud to count them amongst their professional partners. We continue to enjoy collaborating on a range of activities.
Over the past 15 years I have had the privilege and pleasure to work with Alison and her colleagues in the Asia Pacific region. Tourism Garden is the leader in the marketing of luxury tourism products with an excellent cross-cultural understanding. Most recently we have worked together with our ultra-luxury brand, Regent Seven Seas Cruises in association with Monaco Tourism. Tourism Garden has exceptional knowledge and a prestigious network of agent, media and consumers in the luxury travel sector and are highly valued partner of our company.
I enjoyed all of the modules. To be honest, Monaco has always held an air of mystery to me – a playground for the rich and famous, and not so much for the average person like me. Now I appreciate so much more about the region. It was great to get a better understanding of all that Monaco entails.
I wanted to thank you for hosting me to LAC on Saturday night. It really was a very special night and reflected the elegance and glamour that I always associate with Monaco.
Very good and I’ve now done the 3 modules – great break in the day. Good on you for creating Alison.
Hi there Alison and Yukiko, I hope you’re both well. This is just a short note to say thank you so much to both of you for your assistance for my recent trip to Tokyo. I had an amazing time, collected material for so many stories, and both of the hotels were really incredible properties, both perfect for Traveller.
