Silversea’s newest ship, Silver Nova℠, boasts culinary experiences in nine dining venues, including six complimentary options — more than on any other ultra-luxury ship.

Aboard its fleet’s 12th addition, the leading ultra-luxury cruise line has also evolved its signature restaurants, enhanced its menus with a broadened offering of green cuisine, and introduced a new aspect to its immersive S.A.L.T. culinary program. With both formal and informal options and cuisines ranging from international to specialty, Silver Nova serves guests variety at any time of day.

Every detail in Silver Nova’s restaurants has been enhanced, from their architectural designs – with particular attention dedicated to lighting and the selection of materials – to the elegant artworks and cutlery.

S.A.L.T. Chef’s’ Table: Intimate, interactive dining for 18

S.A.L.T. Chef’s Table is an intimate, interactive dining experience that explores the landscapes and flavours of the visited region, introducing an all-new way for Silversea’s guests to dive deep into the local culture, serving up to 18 diners. A hands-on test kitchen by day, the S.A.L.T. Lab on deck 10 transforms into a showcase for Silversea’s chefs each evening. With one seating nightly and a curated menu of small plates that highlight the best local tastes and the most authentic ingredients, plus paired wines and cocktails.

S.A.L.T. Chef’s Table highlights a carefully selected array of high-quality ingredients – seasonal and locally sourced produce selected for their sensorial qualities. For the Western Mediterranean region, for example, the selection of ingredients includes gamberi rossi di Mazara from Sicily, fresh black truffle, Italian riso nero, and artisanal roasted pumpkin seed oil from Slovenia, among others.

LA DAME®: Tasting menu with fine wine pairings

The 68-guest La Dame restaurant fuses French culinary heritage with modern innovation. The venue’s French-inspired menus have been crafted and complemented by one of the most extensive wine lists at sea. Guests can choose from a seven-course tasting menu or explore à la carte options, including a selection of Calvisius Tradition Prestige caviar paired with a complimentary selection of seven fine wines exclusive to the venue. To elevate the dining experience even further, guests can opt to pair the tasting menu with a Connoisseur’s wine selection or with a brand new Vintage Champagne selection curated by Silversea’s Wine Ambassador, Lawrence D’Almeida.

KAISEKI®: Washoku-inspired menu

Silver Nova offers a brand new dining experience in its 40-guest Kaiseki restaurant, taking travellers on a gastronomic journey that celebrates the traditions of UNESCO-listed Japanese cuisine, Washoku, paired with an exclusive selection of sakes, Japanese whiskies, or TWG teas and tea cocktails. Silversea’s Fleet Chef of Culinary Development, Chef Ann-Mari Cornelius — Executive Fleet Chef, Silversea Cruises — undertook an intensive training program at the renowned Japan Culinary Institute in Shizuoka, benefitting from the tutorage of Japanese masters. For dinner in Kaiseki, guests can sample various dishes among multiple courses with Japanese whiskies and sakes to complement the cuisine.

Vegetarian and plant-based dining

With Silver Nova, Silversea has expanded its range of vegetarian, vegan, and plant-based dishes with enhanced menus in all nine dining venues aboard the ship. The cruise line has collaborated with the illustrious Chef Jean-Luc Rabanel, whose imaginative green cuisine has received worldwide acclaim, which he calls ‘greenstronomy.’ Chef Cornelius spent time honing culinary techniques and learning innovative approaches from Chef Rabanel before creating the enhanced menu options with Silversea’s culinary team.
