Savor the World with Silversea’s SALT Program

Luxury cruising has always been about immersing yourself in the world in comfort and style. Silversea takes this one step further with its groundbreaking S.A.L.T. program (Sea and Land Taste). Designed for travelers who believe food is one of the best ways to understand a culture, S.A.L.T. is more than just dining: it’s an entire journey into the flavors, traditions, and stories of the destinations you visit.

Our TravelPerks team has experience the S.A.L.T. program first-hand and could not recommend it more.

What is Silversea’s S.A.L.T. Program?

S.A.L.T. is an innovative, culinary-focused enrichment program unique to Silversea. Instead of simply enjoying gourmet meals on board, guests dive deep into local foodways through hands-on cooking, curated lectures, market tours, vineyard visits, and destination-inspired menus. The idea: by eating like a local, you connect more deeply to the places you’re traveling.

What Guests Can Experience

• S.A.L.T. Kitchen – A restaurant featuring a rotating menu inspired by the region you’re sailing through, so you’ll taste authentic flavors from port to port.
• S.A.L.T. Lab – A state-of-the-art cooking school at sea, where you can try your hand at preparing regional dishes under the guidance of expert chefs.
• S.A.L.T. Bar – Sip cocktails crafted from local spirits and ingredients, often designed to highlight traditional techniques or unique regional flavors.
• S.A.L.T. Experiences ashore – Specially curated shore excursions focused on food and drink, from truffle hunting in Italy to market tours in Vietnam.
• S.A.L.T. Talks – Conversations with chefs, food historians, winemakers, and other culinary experts who share the cultural significance behind the dishes.

Why This is Revolutionary

While many cruise lines offer “destination-inspired dining,” Silversea’s SALT program is immersive, educational, and interactive. It’s about building a connection to culture through cuisine, not just tasting it. Think of it as a blend of cooking school, anthropology lesson, and luxury dining—all at sea. For food lovers and curious travelers alike, it’s a chance to bring home not just souvenirs, but recipes, stories, and memories of meals shared.

Where You’ll Find the SALT Program

SALT is available on Silversea’s newest ships, specifically designed to accommodate the full program:

These ships sail some of Silversea’s most culturally rich itineraries, including voyages through the Mediterranean, South America, and Asia—destinations where food is inseparable from identity.

If you believe that food is the heartbeat of culture, Silversea’s S.A.L.T. program transforms your cruise into a culinary expedition, letting you taste the world one port at a time.
