Silver Moon & Silver Nova: A Class of Their Own

Sailing aboard Silver Moon or Silver Nova is not just about where you go, but how you get there. These are not cruise ships in the conventional sense; they are floating luxury hotels, where space, style, and service set a new benchmark for luxury travel at sea.

The Silver Nova, Silversea’s newest ship, redefines modern cruising with an open design that blurs the line between ship and sea. Expect spacious suites with floor-to-ceiling views, wraparound decks, and an outward-facing layout that ensures the destination is always within sight — and within reach.

On Silver Moon, you’ll find a similarly elevated experience. This ship strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and comfort, offering an intimate atmosphere with the indulgence of a much larger vessel. With nearly one crew member per guest, the service is intuitive, personal, and always discreet.

Both ships boast world-class dining, an extensive spa and wellness program, and the kind of elegant touches that turn travel into a true escape – think white-gloved butlers, curated shore excursions, and chilled Champagne on arrival.

Taste the World with S.A.L.T.

One of Silversea’s most celebrated programs is S.A.L.T. – Sea and Land Taste – a groundbreaking culinary concept that takes guests deep into the flavours of each destination. Onboard, S.A.L.T. offers regional menus, expert-led cooking demonstrations, and enlightening talks with food writers, chefs, and culinary historians. Ashore, curated food experiences bring you face-to-face with local producers, hidden eateries, and authentic kitchens few travellers ever get to see. It’s a chance to understand a place not just through its sights, but through its stories and shared over a plate, a market stall, or a glass of something local.
