Silversea has today named the senior officers that will bring out the Silver Muse for its  inaugural season.

The ship will be led by Captain Alessandro Zanello, the youngest officer ever to be appointed Captain on the Silversea fleet, according to the company. 

Captain Zanello has been working with Silversea since 1999 and in that time has worked on board all ships in the Silversea fleet. Silver Muse will be the second inaugural ship voyage Zanello has worked on during his 18 years with Silversea, having been second-in-command for the launch of Silver Spirit in 2009.

The galley will be led by Executive Chef Anne-Mari Cornelius, who joined Silversea in 2005 and has worked onboard two Silver Whisper world cruises as Executive Chef. 

Additionally, Cruise Director Jimmy Kovel will oversee activities and entertainment onboard the ship during its inaugural season. Kovel has worked for Silversea since 2009 onboard Silver Shadow, Silver Cloud and Silver Wind.

Roberto Martinoli, CEO at Silversea Cruises, said: “As the launch of Silver Muse draws closer, we are delighted to reveal details of the dedicated and highly experienced crew who will welcome both new and returning Silversea guests on Silver Muse, offering an unparalleled level of personalised and polished service.”

Other key members of the Silver Muse team include Staff Captain, Sergio Topazio; Chief Engineer, Michele Barone and Hotel Director, Paolo Percivale.
