Silversea Debuts Two New Ships In Greece & The Galapagos

Silversea Cruises has marked its return to global operations with the maiden voyage of its new flagship, Silver Moon, sailing from Athens (Piraeus). The launch of Silver Moon also represents the unveiling of S.A.L.T., the cruise line’s much-anticipated culinary program. The inaugural sailing of Silversea’s new expeditionary vessel, Silver Origin, took place from San Cristobal in the Galapagos on June 19, 2021. Silversea’s first destination-specific ship is sailing with all-new itineraries in the archipelago.

Sailing out of Athens (Piraeus), Silver Moon will follow 10-day itineraries in the Greek Isles, offering guests luxury ocean-view suites, fine dining, and personalized service, with a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio.

Silver Origin welcomes travelers to the Galapagos Islands with year-round, ultra-luxury expeditionary voyages, offering balcony-only suites, the highest expert guide-to-guest ratio in the Galapagos (1:10), and the highest Zodiac-to-guest ratio (1:12.5) in the region, as well as Silversea’s well-known amenities. Silver Origin represents the first-ever, destination-specific ship built by Silversea and one of the most energy-efficient ships in its class.

The premier of Silversea’s pioneering culinary program, Sea and Land Taste, or S.A.L.T., invites guests to enjoy immersive culinary experiences for a taste of authentic cultures and traditions of each visited region.
