A region where the past sits comfortably in the present, where sun-bleached ancient ruins overlook azure waters, and where life slows to a beautiful, rhythmic crawl – the Mediterranean is one that has long enchanted travellers. 

Taking travellers there in exclusive luxury is Silversea, through immersive, sensory voyages.

Aboard its ultra-luxury Nova-class ships – Silver Nova and Silver Ray – the traditional Mediterranean cruise is entirely reimagined to focus on the true soul of the region: its centuries-old culinary heritage, brought to life through exclusive partnerships with Michelin-starred culinary masters.

The architecture of light and sea

Moving away from traditional enclosed cruise ship designs, these vessels feature a pioneering asymmetrical layout and sweeping, floor-to-ceiling glass facades designed to flood the interiors with natural light and maximise coastal views.

Operating with an intimate capacity of 728 guests, the suite-only ships maintain a near one-to-one staff-to-guest ratio, delivering premium hospitality supported by intuitive butler service across all suite categories.

Whether it’s sipping a morning espresso in your expansive suite or lounging on the multi-tiered pool deck, guests will feel one with the world outside. 

S.A.L.T.: Journeying through flavour

The S.A.L.T. programme lets you delve into the cuisine of where you’re visiting with a hands-on cooking session using local ingredients

A central pillar of the Mediterranean experience is Silversea’s signature S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) programme, which is designed to be a holistic exploration of regional culture  with an immersion into the gastronomic heritage of each destination.

Onboard, S.A.L.T. Lab offers a state-of-the-art culinary workshop where guests participate in and learn traditional techniques using local ingredients in hands-on masterclasses led by guest Michelin-starred chefs and regional food historians.

For dining, the menu at the S.A.L.T. Kitchen changes daily to reflect the ship’s specific port of call that day. For a truly elevated evening, the intimate S.A.L.T. Chef’s Table offers a curated multi-course tasting menu paired with rare regional wines and interactive culinary storytelling.

Immersion beyond the horizon

Visit vineyards and try local wines on shore excursions

The culinary narrative extends seamlessly to land operations through Silversea’s bespoke S.A.L.T. shore excursions.

These curated itineraries bypass conventional tourist routes, granting guests private access to the local artisans and producers who preserve the region’s heritage food traditions.

By weaving together regional history, modern naval design, and exclusive culinary access, the product allows Silversea guests to thoroughly engage with the destinations.

It is a journey designed for those who know that the ultimate luxury is not just about seeing a destination, but about bringing its flavours, stories, and soul home with you.
