Silversea has completed the revitalization of the Silver Spirit, enhancing the onboard experience with refreshed public spaces and an expanded culinary offering. With the brand's flagship program, SALT (Sea and Land Taste), deepening cultural and culinary connections with each destination, the enhancements also introduce a renewed, lifestyle-focused approach to onboard dining and leisure.
“The completion of Silver Spirit marks a significant milestone for our fleet,” said Bert Hernandez, President of Silversea. “With the ship’s return to service, we are offering our guests a refreshed onboard experience: one that combines relaxed sophistication, immersive gastronomy, and destination-driven discovery. From refurbished spaces to refined culinary experiences, every upgrade has been thoughtfully designed to elevate how our guests enjoy their time onboard as Silver Spirit embarks on immersive voyages through Northern Europe.”
Silversea presents a completely new poolside concept aboard Silver Spirit, inspired by iconic Mediterranean coastal destinations. Riviera is designed as an all-day space that evolves from relaxed mornings to vibrant evenings, creating a welcoming environment for guests to unwind, connect, and enjoy tranquil moments throughout the day. Key elements of the concept include:
• A RHYTHM THAT REFLECTS THE JOURNEY: Riviera is designed to evolve with the rhythm of the day. Mornings are tranquil and restorative, offering space for wellness rituals, energizing drinks, and moments of calm by the pool. As the day progresses, the atmosphere becomes more social and lively, accompanied by carefully curated music and casual dining, before transforming into relaxed evenings under the stars, creating a natural meeting point from breakfast to dinner.
• RELAXED POOL-BY-SIDE DINING: The dining experience at Riviera is designed to be enjoyed throughout the day, with a menu of light and casual favorites, including fresh salads, wraps, burgers, vegetarian options, and seafood dishes such as ceviche and the catch of the day. Included options are complemented by premium selections, giving guests flexibility throughout the day.
• DRINKS INSPIRED BY THE MEDITERRANEAN LIFESTYLE: Inspired by the cafes, vineyards, and coastal bars of the Mediterranean, Riviera's drinks menu includes refreshing spritzes and cocktails perfect for cruising in warm weather, as well as a carefully curated selection of crisp white wines, rosés, light and medium reds, and champagne to enjoy at sunset. Low- or no-alcohol options are also available for wellness-focused guests.
• AN ACTIVE OUTDOOR DECK: Riviera also expands the experience beyond dining, incorporating an enhanced outdoor offering. Updated furnishings, sun loungers, Balinese beds, and umbrellas create comfortable spaces to relax, while new activities and wellness options—such as a golf putting green, the “Off the Deck” simulator and practice areas, plus an expanded fitness offering—encourage guests to stay active, connected, and entertained throughout the day.
Complementing Riviera, guests sailing aboard the refurbished Silver Spirit will also experience the brand’s award-winning SALT program for the first time. New spaces include SALT Kitchen, featuring destination-inspired menus; SALT Bar, offering regional spirits and custom cocktails; and SALT Lab, where guests can delve deeper into local culture through hands-on, intimate cooking classes focused on regional flavors and traditions.
The revamped Silver Spirit also features a modernized Venetian Lounge, with elegant new curtains, updated carpets, reupholstered banquettes and a new state-of-the-art LED wall, elevating the onboard entertainment experience on Silversea.
The Silver Spirit now embarks on immersive voyages through Northern Europe, combining the spectacular beauty of the fjords of southern Norway with the rich history of the English Channel and Western Europe. Thanks to its intimate size and high level of comfort, the Silver Spirit offers an elegant and deeply immersive way to explore the region's most scenic and culturally vibrant coastlines. Highlights of these itineraries include:
- • SOUTHAMPTON TO IJMUIDEN (AMSTERDAM) – May 27 to June 7, 2026
- • IJMUIDEN (AMSTERDAM) TO COPENHAGEN – June 7-19, 2026
- • IJMUIDEN (AMSTERDAM) TO SOUTHAMPTON – August 16-27, 2026

Later this year, the Silver Spirit will offer a refreshed and modernized experience for guests of the Grand Voyage Mediterranean. Departing from Lisbon on a 50-day voyage, the revitalized ship will take travelers through 40 destinations in 12 countries. From iconic cultural capitals such as Istanbul, Dubrovnik, and Barcelona to hidden gems like Volos, Gythion, and Amalfi, the voyage will offer immersive onshore experiences and exclusive events throughout the Mediterranean.
