Silversea Cruises is offering an unprecedented food and wine cultural and catering programme on board the latest ships in its fleet.

It’s called S.A.L.T., which stands for Sea and Land Taste. But that’s not all. I would also add knowledge, discovery, culture and passion as well as taste. The luxury airline has really developed a completely new catering philosophy that goes far beyond eating well.

On board Silversea’s ships, from the recent Silver Moon onwards, the cruise becomes a genuine itinerary through the most authentic traditions of the places visited, where the values of the cuisine, the best culture revolving around food and the marvellous wine production are highlighted.

Silversea passengers can enjoy a voyage within a voyage, as they discover the wonders of the landscape, the sea and the cities of art during the day. And move on to delve deeper into that culture as soon as they get back on board. It’s not just about tasting new and different dishes every day, but also being deeply connected to the port of call included in the itinerary and somehow bringing something locally on board.

It’s incredible to think of the complexity of what Silversea has developed: a different menu every day, with different ingredients and an unprecedented choice of local wines. And all of this, without the need for a reservation at the S.A.L.T. Restaurant which is informal but very welcoming and lively.

The menu explains in part the ingredients of the dishes and what ties them most closely to the local tradition and allows the service staff the opportunity and willingness to go deeper into the explanations in order to understand the recipes and specialties.

The wines are exclusively locally produced and are the perfect complement to what is not so much a dinner as a journey through different countries and cultures.

In addition to the restaurant, which is open every day, free of charge and without reservation, there are other services linked to the programme. The S.A.L.T. Bar, right outside the restaurant itself, is not only the ideal place to wait to eat, but a veritable little gem. An experienced barman will prepare your favourite cocktail using exclusive ingredients in full view, from which you can choose freely or be recommended.

Finally, the S.A.L.T. Lab is where you can learn from experts how to reproduce with your own hands those dishes typical of the places you visit in order to learn new ingredients, new combinations of flavours and to further your knowledge and travel experience.

The S.A.L.T. Programme is truly one of the most revolutionary innovations in cruise catering. It brings guests closer to the most authentic tradition and culture of the places they visit, allowing them to fully immerse themselves within the journey and gain an unparalleled experience.

From the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, from Northern Europe to the Orient. A new era in sea travel is opening up by bringing on board what until now could only be experienced on short shore excursions.
