Launched in 1994 as the world’s first all-inclusive, luxury cruise line, Silversea carries a long-established Italian heritage, making them your destination experts for Mediterranean cruising. The award-winning brand currently offers over 200 Mediterranean itineraries ranging from 6 to 22 days aboard seven of their 12 ships - Silver Dawn (596 guests), Silver Moon (596), Silver Muse (596), Silver Ray (728), Silver Nova (728), Silver Spirit (608) and Silver Whisper (392).

In the world of luxury cruising, these 6 ships offer some of the highest space-per-guest ratios along with ample public spaces and superlative service from bow to stern. You will also enjoy free-flowing premium wines and spirits, delicious gourmet cuisine, in-suite dining, full butler service in every suite and a wide range of shore excursion options in every port of call.

Of course, there's no single destination that is the Mediterranean. More than twenty countries lie along its coast, from Spain and Gibraltar in the west to Greece and Turkey in the east, with Egypt, Morocco, Libya and Tunisia on the south shore. With so many ports, your cruising options are nearly endless. And the best thing about a Med cruise is that you can keep going back for more and never repeat a destination. Plus, a cruise offers an easy way to explore some of the world's most scenic and historical destinations in a single trip.

The best time to cruise this region is in spring, summer or fall, from early April through late November, before the ships start their repositioning voyages. The hottest months are July and August, and this past summer has been no exception. If you are unsure about where to begin, your travel professional can help you with your cruise timing and destination decisions.

Silversea ships are small enough to visit exceptional locations, berthing right in the beating heart of the port you are visiting, yet large enough to ensure that everything you could ask for on your vacation is at your fingertips. All suites give you ocean views and most have a private teak veranda for your enjoyment. For a truly personal experience, customise your suite with an abundance of optional amenities, from toiletries, personalised stationery and pillow selections to a bar with your favourite beer, wine and spirits, all the finest comforts of luxury cruise accommodation. You can even enjoy in-suite dinner served course-by-course by your butler. A Silversea suite is truly your home away from home on the high seas.

The Mediterranean region is also synonymous with the pleasures of the table. From the seafood bounty of its coastline to sunbaked lands flowing with olive oil and wine, the area is world-famous for its mouthwatering dishes and advancements on the frontiers of gastronomy. On Silversea, your culinary experiences are vitally enhanced with the addition of S.A.L.T. (Sea And Land Taste). This unique programme takes you beyond typical tourist fare and helps you appreciate regional foods and traditions, connecting you with the rich cultural heritage of every destination. S.A.L.T. Ashore Experiences invite you to enjoy one-of-a-kind gastronomical adventures accompanied by food experts. S.A.L.T. Kitchen brings you a new sample of local flavours every night, with menus sourced by local experts. S.A.L.T. Bar is your passport to a cocktail of destination-inspired adventures unmatched at sea, from sipping custom-designed concoctions to tasting local wines and spirits. S.A.L.T. Lab presents an interactive hands-on culinary laboratory with live lectures and cooking demonstrations in a small-group format. The S.A.L.T. Chef’s Table introduces you to an interactive dining experience like no other, a welcoming gathering of culinary enthusiasts eager to share their passion in an engaging one-to-one setting. Just like the Mediterranean, Silversea delivers exquisite pleasures of the table, amplified with one immersive ingredient - S.A.L.T.

Please note that not all S.A.L.T. programs are available on all ships.
