As your ship changes latitude and longitude, the menu changes to reflect the flavors of the region. The main event: inspired dining. Step into The Restaurant and you know you've arrived for a very special dining experience. The Restaurant is elegant, but not stuffy. The European-trained waiters are attentive and personable. The finest wines from their extensive list are carefully chosen and poured into sparkling European crystal glasses. Polished Christofle silverware is laid on crisp linens. The stage is now set for the main event: inspired dishes created by Silversea's Master Chefs. These dishes are complemented by those of La Collection du Monde, created by the world-class chefs of culinary partner Relais & Chвteaux. Marked by innovation and creativity, you're sure to enjoy these epicurean delights and a dining experience that rivals the best restaurants the world over. As the latitude and longitude of your ship change, so do the possibilities for lunch and dinner, especially in The Terrace Cafe. Fragrant truffles from Rome. Delicate blueberries from St. Petersburg. Cool mangos from Bangkok. Fresh Italian pastas, made to order with your favorite sauces. The possibilities - and the menus - are limitless. An alternative to the more formal Restaurant, The Terrace Cafe offers the same culinary excellence but in a more casual setting. Evening menus accent regional Italian specialties, while lunch and breakfast offer sumptuous buffets and hearty grilled fare. And, as always, you have the option to dine when and where you prefer - including a table alfresco with the world and its bounty spread before you. Breakfast in bed...a late lunch...an intimate dinner for two...whatever your whim, it can be served in the privacy of your own suite. Or alfresco on your veranda, if you prefer. The regular room service menu is available 24 hours a day. During regular dining hours, however, you can order from the Restaurant menu, with your meal served course by course. What could be more convenient?

With neither schedules nor routines to hem you in, choosing what you want to do and when you want to do it are the most difficult daily decisions you'll have to make.

Because we know you crave new experiences, we offer many opportunities to explore new areas. Learn a new language, brush up on your dance steps, take part in a stimulating book discussion or delve into the subtleties of wine appreciation.

If sports figures prominently in your day's activities, practice your swing with instruction from their golf pro or attend a complimentary golf clinic, as part of their golf program. Of course for some, lazing by the pool, a cool drink in hand, is exercise enough. Entertainment Makes the Night Come Alive. As the sun sets over the ocean, enjoy a glass of wine or champagne in the wine tasting room aboard Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper. After dinner, meet old friends - and make new ones - at The Bar. Here the music is live, the dance floor beckons, and the next round of cocktails is always complimentary.

And because the venue is multi-tiered, everyone has the best seat in the house. Ready to settle down with a great cigar and vintage cognac? If you're on board their newest vessels, Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper, you will find a deep comfortable seat and an outstanding selection of fine cigars at The Humidor by Davidoff. Variety. Sophistication. Pure enjoyment. These are the ingredients of a Silversea evening.
