Silver Nova S.A.L.T programme

A true culinary highlight of Silver Nova cruise ship is S.A.L.T – Sea And Land Taste – and deserves its own section in our ship overview! The programme – only available on this Silversea ship plus Silver Moon and Silver Dawn – aims to take globetrotters on an in-depth journey through engaging experiences and local food culture based on the destinations they are in.

The line promises the S.A.L.T programme will “intensify your voyage, flavour your journey, balance your cruise, and preserve your holiday memories”.

But how? You may be wondering. Firstly, S.A.L.T includes culinary-focussed shore excursions on which travellers can meet and learn from famous chefs, tour vineyards and try their own hand at cooking, to name a few experiences – all accompanied by food experts.

The gastronomic adventure continues back onboard; visit the S.A.L.T. Bar and Kitchen to savour an array of international food dishes, inspired by your destination. The latter is a dedicated dining venue while the former sees master mixologists serve regionally inspired cocktails and teach you all about the art of tasting.

S.A.L.T doesn’t stop there! Head to the S.A.L.T Lab to discover an interactive cooking laboratory where small groups can whip up local recipes in a professional kitchen and learn about the food heritage of each ingredient.

What’s more, S.A.L.T lectures and live cooking demonstrations are regularly held in the Venetian Lounge so all guests can be educated on the deep connection between food and a destination.
