Silversea named winemaker Gaia Gaja godmother of the Silver
Moon, a 596-passenger ship coming in August.
Gaja is a fifth-generation owner of the Gaja winery, which
has been producing wine in the Italian town of Barbaresco since 1859. According

She will name the Silver Moon at a ceremony in Trieste,
Italy, on Aug. 5.
Silversea said that Gaja’s deeply-rooted connection with
Italian culinary culture makes her the right choice to be Silver Moon’s godmother,
with Silversea’s new culinary concept, S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste), launching
with the ship.
The Silver Moon will feature the S.A.L.T. Kitchen, S.A.L.T.
Lab and S.A.L.T. Bar.
“A knowledgeable purveyor of her craft, elegant, and with an
unwavering commitment to exceptional quality, Gaia Gaja embodies the core
values of Silversea Cruises,” the luxe line said in a statement.
“I passionately believe that food and drink facilitate
profound discovery -- into destinations, cultures and people,” Gaja said in a
statement commending the S.A.L.T. program. “My own experience with winemaking
has taught me that culinary discovery possesses limitless potential; here’s to
the curious travelers who seek to unlock it.”
