Silversea has launched its inaugural collection of S.A.L.T. (Sea And Land Taste) Culinary Voyages, sailing from August to October this year.
The collection debuts with seven sailings on Silver Dawn and Silver Spirit across Portugal, Spain, France and the UK, to coincide with Europe’s autumn harvest season. Each voyage pairs an onboard culinary programme with shore excursions.
