Winemaker named as Silver Moon godmother
Silversea has named an Italian winemaker as godmother to its new ship, Silver Moon.
Gaia Gaja is of the fifth generation to own and manage the 160-year-old Gaja winery in the Italian town of Barbaresco.
The ship will be named by Gaja at a ceremony in Trieste on August 5, 2020.
Silver Moon will pioneer the company’s new culinary concept S.A.L.T (Sea and Land Taste), which will use regional ingredients and culinary customs onboard.
"I feel great pride and honour to have been selected by Silversea Cruises as the Godmother of the beautiful Silver Moon," said Gaja. "I passionately believe that food and drink facilitate profound discovery—into destinations, cultures and people—and that guests will nurture strong connections with amazing destinations as a result of S.A.L.T., the ship’s innovative culinary offering."
