Silver Moon
Silver Moon is the ship that introduced the S.A.L.T. culinary program to the Silversea fleet
Silver Moon launched in 2021 as the first Silversea ship to carry the S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) culinary program from launch — a regional dining concept that adjusts restaurant menus, sourcing, and the ship''s culinary identity to reflect the current itinerary. At 596 guests, Silver Moon operates with the all-inclusive format and all-suite configuration that defines Silversea''s small-ship experience.
Silver Moon''s S.A.L.T. program is a coherent culinary philosophy rather than a collection of themed restaurants. The S.A.L.T. Kitchen adjusts its menu to reflect the regional cuisine of the current sailing: Mediterranean sailings serve Adriatic seafood and local pasta traditions; Asian deployments shift to regional ingredients and cooking traditions. The S.A.L.T. Bar develops cocktail menus tied to regional spirits. The S.A.L.T. Lab offers hands-on cooking classes with local techniques as the curriculum.
This requires genuine operational coordination — sourcing regional ingredients at each port, adapting menus mid-voyage when port calls change, maintaining kitchen staff who can execute unfamiliar regional preparations credibly. Silversea has now run the program on Silver Moon, Silver Ray, and Silver Nova with three years of operational experience; the execution is more reliable than it was in the first year.
Beyond S.A.L.T., the dining program includes La Terrazza (Italian, no reservation), Atlantide (Mediterranean fine dining, reservation-required), and Seishin (Japanese, reservation-required). All included. The wine program is managed by an onboard sommelier who curates regionally.
Silver Moon''s 596-guest capacity and all-inclusive model deliver the Silversea promise: open bar throughout, butler service in all suites, complimentary in-suite dining, Wi-Fi included, one excursion per port per person included. The entry-category Vista Suite has a veranda and ranges from 295 to 380 square feet depending on deck placement.
Silver Moon is appropriate for: travelers who specifically want the S.A.L.T. culinary experience as a core part of the sailing, guests stepping into ultra-luxury for the first time, and Silversea regulars who want the post-2020 hardware without the newer Silver Nova''s Nova Class design changes. The S.A.L.T. program is the clearest reason to choose Moon over Silver Spirit or Silver Shadow.
