All-new, visually exciting musical experiences are coming to the stages of Silversea Cruises' five ultra-luxury ships. The new production shows will feature live acts complemented with musical tracks recorded exclusively for Silversea by renowned artists such as the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Seven different shows, featuring rich costuming, imaginative set designs, and special visual effects, will spotlight the talents of an international ensemble of accomplished vocalists, known collectively as The Voices of Silversea. Following is a snapshot of the three principal productions that will be performed in the main Show Lounge fleetwide:

Musica Maestro: A grand ballroom is the elegant backdrop for this signature show, a 45-minute tribute to popular operatic arias and classical crossover music. Led by renowned conductor Richard Balcombe, its captivating musical score has been arranged, performed, and recorded by the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra exclusively for Silversea guests.

Mind the Gap: Mod fashions and the iconic imagery of a London tube station propel this lively journey back to the 1960s and the British Invasion that conquered the airwaves with such legendary pop and rock stars as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Lulu, Tom Jones, and more.

Don't Stop the Music: Guests are welcome to don their best retro dancing shoes to join in this foot-tapping, sing-along homage to the disco era's pulsating rhythms and colourful funky fashions - and then take to the dance floor when the ship's DJ steps in to keep the party rolling.

Four additional shows will be rotated among the ships to provide guests with a total of four full-scale musical productions on each sailing. The additional shows include Caliente, a Latin-flavoured production encompassing tunes from Spain and South America; Shaken Not Stirred, celebrating the intrigue, glamour, and sophistication embodied in 50 years of James Bond films; Première, a chronological musical tribute to some of the world's greatest movies; and Amore, featuring timeless love songs.

Besides the main Show Lounge, guests will also enjoy the singing talents of The Voices of Silversea when they perform duets and cabaret-style shows in more-intimate settings throughout the ship.

"It is an honour to collaborate with the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the world’s leading orchestras, and we're delighted to enrich our guests' onboard experience with these new entertainment offerings,” said Mike Bonner, General Manager Sales and Marketing Director, UK. "The shows celebrate some of music's most enduring genres, and will likely bring back wonderful memories of bygone days."

Guests sailing on the below voyages will be treated to a sneak-preview selection of some of the new shows, all of which have been produced for Silversea by London-based Luna Rossa Productions. The entire entertainment program will then roll out fleetwide.
