Silversea Cruises' new Silver Ray embarked on its maiden voyage in mid-June.
The ship's most luxurious 1,324-square-foot Otium Suites have amenities like a private hot tub and library.

Silversea is one of the highest-end cruise lines on the market. So, as you can imagine, its new ship's most expensive suites are luxurious.

Like, really luxurious. And really expensive.

Silversea's new Silver Ray departed on its maiden voyage in mid-June. As is expected of Royal Caribbean Group's ritziest brand, the cruise line's 12th ship is outfitted with 364 of some of the most sumptuous suites at sea, the smallest of which already have a balcony, marble bathroom, and on-demand caviar.

Not too shabby, right?

In 2024, Silver Ray's Otium Suites start at $17,000 per person for a seven-day roundtrip cruise from Venice, Italy.

In 2024, the suite starts at $17,000, or $18,700 for a "door-to-door" trip, including flights and pre- and post-cruise hotel stays.Brittany Chang/Business Insider

Despite the cost, Silver Ray's two Otium Suites are almost completely booked through 2024.
