Silver Moon was the ninth ship in Silversea’s luxurious fleet boasts both elegant design and innovative facilities, alongside key features similar to those found on her sister ship, Silver Muse. Designed to minimise water and air pollution, Silver Moon’s purpose is to provide the 21st century luxury travel experience with minimal environmental impact. Maintaining the small-ship feel but breath-takingly grand, all-suite interiors is something you can expect from Silversea’s fleet.
Two of our SixStarCruises colleagues Connell Blackburn-Green, Supplier Relations Manager, and Laura Wing, Specialist Cruise Concierge, were fortunate enough to embark on a Greek Isles sailing on board Silver Moon. They have kindly shared some valuable top tips in which they feel are useful to know when sailing on your next Silversea itinerary.
After arriving at Athens’ port where Silver Moon began her Greek Isles itinerary, our colleagues highlighted the safe boarding process that Silversea implements to ensure an efficient boarding process for passengers.
“Once we arrived at the port, crew members took our luggage and sent it straight to our suites. We were then cleared to embark the ship. No booking was required for embarkation and refreshments available for guests.”
During our fellow colleagues stay on board Silver Moon, they each stayed within a Deluxe Veranda Suite and described their accommodation type and the amenities available.
“The Deluxe Veranda Suite was very spacious and had a lovely bathroom which included a separate bath and shower. There was more than enough space for clothes and luggage to be stored away neatly within the walk-in wardrobe which was fabulous. A choice of cosmetics were available, the mini bar provided was replenished daily, and a mixture of US and EU plug sockets and direct USB sockets were located around the suite.”
Silver Moon offers a diverse selection of entertainment on board, including interactive dining experiences, an observation library, exceptional shopping experiences and more. Our colleagues on board immersed themselves in a number of the excursions on offer and informed us on their experiences.
“We went to the S.A.L.T. lab to experience the ‘Cook the Menu: Moussaka’ cooking class. This experience comes free of charge but needs to be booked in advance, with two chefs taking you through the process of making the perfect Moussaka. The plate changes dependent on where the ship is docked, and uses fresh ingredients sourced directly from markets you visit along the way. It was a truly wonderful experience and left me with a new recipe to take home.
I took the opportunity to spend the afternoon by the pool and sampled a cocktail or two. This area was fantastic, with beds aplenty and a very large pool for the size of the ship, catering for everyone on board.”
A wide range of dining options are available on board Silver Moon, all providing the freshest, highest quality ingredients expected from a Silversea cruise. From fine dining to interactive experiences Silver Moon provides guests with the ultimate dining encounters on board this incredible ship. We asked Connell and Laura about their dining experiences on board.
“We went for dinner in La Terrazza, an authentic Italian restaurant utilising the freshest ingredients to concoct world-class dishes. The menu was huge and waiting staff were on hand to recommend the best dishes which is always useful.
The Grill offers prime cuts of steak and seafood cooked on lava stones under the Greek stars. I also ordered some Madagascan prawns which were slightly bigger than I expected and tasted phenomenal. The wine was recommended by the butler and certainly hit the spot.
Another evening we went to the S.A.L.T. Kitchen which gave us the opportunity to enjoy dishes from the region we were visiting. I am a fan of Greek cuisine, but this really did blow me away. Service was impeccable and the Mackerel for main is whole-heartedly recommended.”
