S.A.L.T. is a uniquely Silversea innovation, inviting guests to travel deeper into the cultured histories and contemporary personalities of destinations through engaging culinary experiences. Aboard Silver Moon and Silver Dawn– and soon sister ships Silver Nova (summer 2023) and Silver Ray (2024) – dedicated spaces are devoted to interactive cooking and cocktail classes, as well as lectures from visiting culinary connoisseurs. Ashore, the line has partnered with experts in food and wine to offer guests a deeply personal connection to the traditions and flavors that define a region.

Almost two centuries have passed since the British naturalist Charles Darwin visited the Galápagos Islands and observed wildlife behaviors that informed his theory of evolution — a notion that changed both modern science and humanity. Today, visitors can still witness real-time evolution as volcanoes continue to erupt and lava flows form new islands within this UNESCO World Heritage archipelago. Those volcanoes are largely responsible for the uniqueness of the Galápagos, creating rock formations that provide shelter to some 9,000 animals and plant life, including the area’s unofficial mascot — the blue-footed booby. This endearing bird is one of the dozens of charismatic and indigenous animals guests will delight in seeing during a cruise aboard Silversea’s first destination specific ship —Silver Origin.
