The Mediterranean is synonymous with the pleasures of the table.

An exquisite foodie adventure comes to life through Silversea’s immersive S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) culinary program. Embark on a S.A.L.T. excursion ashore and be accompanied by local food experts who explain the intricacies of Mediterranean cuisine. Travel through the culinary history of Barcelona. Tour a Michelin-starred restaurant’s private garden. Or maybe relish an Italian Feast on the Tuscan Hills with one of Italy’s most talented young chefs. Try one, or do them all.
