Silversea has brought to life a culinary enrichment program that allows guests to dive deeper into the culture and lifeblood of their destinations, through food and flavor. Found on Silver Dawn, Silver Moon, and Silver Nova, the S.A.L.T. program is an experience where guests can learn about the local cuisine, enjoy hands-on activities, and taste some of the most interesting flavors and ingredients found throughout the world.
Sea And Land Taste
“S.A.L.T.” stands for “Sea And Land Taste”. This program offers several styles of experiences from onboard dining, to shore excursions, to classes, tastings, and more. The program was created by Adam Sachs, the former editor-in-chief of Saveur Magazine.
Food is at the heart of every culture across the globe, and S.A.L.T. gives guests the opportunity to engage in local food culture, and connect to different regions of the world through flavor and cuisine.
S.A.L.T. Lab

This interactive onboard lab allows you can touch, smell, and try local ingredients and flavors wrapped up into incredible dishes made by you and the talented onboard chefs. Learn from local experts, dive deeper into the cuisine through tastings, and explore your cooking skills by making local dishes from the freshest ingredients found throughout the region.
This enriching space gives guests a deeper knowledge and understanding of the places they will be visiting, allowing for a unique perspective when you step onshore to explore some of the most beautiful cities in the world.
S.A.L.T. Kitchen

This onboard restaurant is a dining experience based on the traditions and recipes of the culture of your destination. The menu features international dishes inspired by the country you are visiting, with locally sourced ingredients, expertly prepared by the Silversea chefs. S.A.L.T. Kitchen takes your taste buds on a journey across the world, from the Mediterranean, to the Caribbean, South America, and beyond!
S.A.L.T. Bar

The experience doesn’t end with at S.A.L.T. Kitchen. After your meal, visit S.A.L.T. Bar and enjoy expertly crafted cocktails and mixed drinks inspired by the destination you are visiting. Each drink will be made from locally sourced ingredients and spirits. The master mixologists behind the bar will teach you about the spirits, how to savor the cocktail, and the different notes you will be tasting.

Round out the entire S.A.L.T. experience, and truly dive into the flavors of your destination with the S.A.L.T. shore excursions. Select shore excursions on all cruises on Silver Dawn, Silver Moon, and Silver Nova will have a culinary focus.
In Norway you may find yourself learning skills from the country’s most famous chefs. While in Wales, you can explore and tour the vineyards and learn about the local wines. You can get hands on by making pasta making in Sicily, or try your hand at organic farming techniques in Greece.
