"My mom and I had always wanted to visit the Spanish and French Riviera. But with some top hotels charging over $3,000 a night during peak season, I knew it could be a pricey proposition. Since we hoped to visit several coastal cities, I started looking into ultra-luxury cruises and found a sailing on Silversea's Silver Ray that seemed too good to pass up."
"What drew me in was the itinerary, plus Silversea's much-hyped S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) program, which includes special onboard menus, talks, and onshore culinary experiences. Prices vary, but our entry-level suite cost about $7,050 a person for the eight-night sailing from Barcelona to Monte Carlo in July. That fare included so much: dining, unlimited caviar, premium beverages, gratuities, and our own butler."
"Silver Ray features several distinct restaurants, ranging from classic French fine dining and sushi to barbecue and regional Mediterranean fare. Some spaces even shift identities throughout the day - casual at lunch, more refined by night. The best example is probably The Marquee, the ship's open-air dining hub with great sea views that runs from breakfast through late-night cocktails. It quickly became one of our favorite spots on the ship."
