There are the stereotypical cruise ship shore excursions — passengers are taken by bus to a tourist activity, a gift shop, maybe get a welcome drink and race back to the ship. And then, there’s something called SALT, a deeply immersive gastronomic experience — both on shore, and on the ship. Each experience is matched to the culture, food and style of each port and region. SALT (Sea and Land Taste) is not just great food, but for passengers, an active participatory culinary experience, which includes great storytelling, and of course some great mythology and history along the way. Correspondent Arnie Weissmann, Editor in Chief of Travel Weekly, reports on the SALT experience on a Silversea cruise’s Greek itinerary.
