On August 29, Silversea’s new ultra-luxury cruise ship, Silver Moon, touched water for the first time at Fincantieri Shipyard in Ancona, Italy. A momentous milestone in the eagerly awaited ship’s build, the float out was marked by a celebratory event and a traditional coin ceremony, held in the presence of top-level representatives from Silversea and Fincantieri, plus VIP guests. Fincantieri will now begin work on Silver Moon’s elegant interior, bringing the ship to the hallmark level of finish that characterizes Silversea’s ultra-luxury fleet.
Silver Moon will push the boundaries of ultra-luxury cruise travel with pioneering new concepts. One such example is S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste)℠, an innovative new culinary program that will unlock immersive culinary experiences for guests. Adapting with sailed destinations, S.A.L.T. will elevate the role of food as a means to travel deeper into a destination, by showcasing entire ecosystems around the culinary cultures of the world. In the S.A.L.T. Kitchen, the S.A.L.T. Lab, and the S.A.L.T. Bar, guests will develop an appreciation for regional ingredients and culinary customs, before venturing ashore under the guidance of experts to experience food and drink cultures first-hand.
Although in popular demand, suites are still available on Silver Moon’s maiden voyage between Trieste and Rome (Civitavecchia), departing August 6, 2020. Silver Moon will spend her inaugural season in the Mediterranean, before crossing to the Americas in November. After unlocking various destinations in Central America and the Caribbean for guests – including Barbados, Antigua, and Puerto Rico, among others – Silver Moon will complete an incredible circumnavigation of South America on the Grand South America 2021, visiting 37 destinations in 20 countries between January 7 and March 17, 2021.
