You wonder how they manage to provision when sailing in such remote areas, but expect high standards of cuisine with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, and don’t miss the al fresco alternatives.

The Restaurant

An intimate table for two by the window, or a social evening with new friends or old, you can dine however and whenever you please in the Restaurant, with sweeping sea views and an extensive menu.

La Terrazza

Here you will see Silversea's Italian heritage represented in food with ingredients that are fresh, sustainable and locally grown. La Terrazza is open for casual, buffet-style breakfast and lunch, and during the evening transforms into an à la carte traditional Italian restaurant.

La Dame

At this intimate and quintessentially Parisian venue, fine wines are complemented by a bespoke menu embodying the gastronomic traditions of France. Demand is high and a small charge applies.

Pool Bar and Grill

At this casual al fresco location, the top deck of the Pool Bar & Grill is transformed into The Grill at night, with a fun lava stone experience, allowing you to cook your own delicacies to taste, out under the stars.

Bars and lounges

Silver Cloud Expedition - Dolce Vita bar

A cruise ship in miniature, Silver Cloud has many options. The Explorer Lounge is where where all your lectures and briefings take place, whilst the Panorama Lounge is great for listening to the pianist, afternoon tea, or watching the world go by.
