Guests onboard the magnificent 40,700-tonne Silver Moon, Silversea's newest vessel, are in for an incredibly immersive and rewarding experience when the ship glides into the port of Alexandria, Egypt. The Silver Moon, with its spacious all-suite cabins, small-ship intimacy, and innovative culinary programmes, ushers in a new age of luxury cruising, building upon the incredible success of its sister ship, the Silver Muse.
The innovative Sea and Land Taste programme, which allows passengers to delve deeper into the local culinary traditions and flavours of the locations they visit, is one of Silversea's standout examples of destination-focused travel. Passengers are welcome to set out on a culinary adventure as the ship lands in Alaxandria, discovering the lively spice markets, artisan bakeries, and family-run farms that characterise the area's rich culinary legacy.
In-depth cooking workshops are available for guests to learn how to produce genuine Egyptian cuisine utilising time-honoured methods and the freshest local ingredients, all under the supervision of certified local chefs and culinary historians. Immersion S.A.L.T. experiences offer more than just a mouthwatering culinary experience; they also offer a better understanding of the social fabric and cultural traditions that support the region's food.
In addition to its culinary offerings, the Silver Moon's Alexandria itinerary provides a plethora of Egypt tours for historical and cultural exploration. Travelers may explore the fabled Valley of the Kings and marvel at the elaborate mummification techniques and hieroglyphics that provide an insight into the customs and beliefs of ancient Egypt.
The opulence of the Luxor Temple, characterized by its soaring hypostyle hall and striking obelisks, enthralls visitors even more when they explore the Pharaohs' architectural and technical prowess. These Egypt shore excursions are a perfect match for the Silver Moon's opulent onboard features, which include an exquisite spa, a state-of-the-art fitness facility, and a selection of dining options to satisfy the pickiest palates of its 596 guests.
