Silversea
Silver Moon
The classic Silversea ship with the destination-led dining program.
Overview
Silver Moon entered service in 2020 and carries around 600 guests. It is the Muse-class ship that introduced S.A.L.T., Silversea's destination-based dining and cooking program, with a butler in every suite.
Moon is a classic Silversea ship: elegant, intimate, with eight restaurants for 600 guests and a slightly more formal evening than the Nova class. S.A.L.T. Kitchen and Lab tie the menus to the ports.
It suits couples and grandparents who want a smaller ship than Nova and food that follows the itinerary. The Mediterranean and the Adriatic in shoulder season are its best waters.

Children, grandparents, mobility
Silver Moon for the whole family
Three honest notes: what the ship does for children, what it does for grandparents, and what it asks of anyone with limited mobility.
- Children
- No children's club and nothing laid on for them; not our pick for a party with children.
- Grandparents
- Intimate, butler-served and food-led; a very good ship for a couple celebrating something.
- Accessibility
- A small number of accessible suites; many Mediterranean calls alongside, some by tender.
Planning for the whole family?
Connecting suites, different activity levels, dining that works for everyone, and transfers that suit grandparents and toddlers alike. The best family suites go first, so start early.

Our promise
We will say no.
We do not recommend a cruise because it is expensive, and we do not put people on the wrong ship. If Silver Moon is not right for your party, we will tell you and suggest the one that is, even if it costs less or is sold by someone else. We are an advisor, not a booking engine.

Silver Moon FAQs
Is Silver Moon more formal than Silver Nova?
A little. Jackets appear in the evening on Moon more than on Nova, and there are formal-optional nights. Nobody is turned away.
