A very warm welcome to our brand new Silversea dining guide, this time coming to you from the newest Nova Class ships in the fleet, Silver Nova and Silver Ray.
Both ships are virtually identical in terms of dining choices and venues and we’ll be basing this guide on our experiences from our ten nights on board Silver Nova, but you can expect the same exquisite dining and the same ultra luxury service on board Silver Ray.
We’ll start this guide with some of the more familiar dining venues before moving on to the venues which have been modified and enhanced for these newest Nova Class of ship.
Make sure to watch to the end to see The Marquee, a brand new al fresco dining venue exclusive to the Silver Nova and Silver Ray.
Has the dining on Silver Nova and Silver Ray evolved? Is it as good as it's ever been? Are the new venues any good? Is the new premium dining too expensive? What did we think of the Nova Class shop as a whole for dining? All these questions will be answered in our Complete Dining Guide and Review of Silversea's brand new Nova Class ships, Silver Nova and Silver Ray. Watch as we review every restaurant, including the new US$180 per person 'Chef's Table'.

![This Seine River Cruise was NOT what we expected: Our week of Action, Romance and Remembrance
We thought a Seine River cruise would be a gentle, sleepy glide through France. We were wrong! 🇫🇷
Join us on an unexpected adventure aboard the Avalon Tapestry II as we travel from Paris to Le Havre. This wasn’t just a luxury cruise; it was a week of high-octane Action, classic French Romance, and deeply moving Remembrance.
From cycling 27km through the French countryside and a near-disaster kayaking trip on the River Epte, to standing on the hallowed sands of Juno Beach and the Normandy D-Day sites, this Avalon Waterways Active & Discovery itinerary challenged every preconception we had about a Seine river cruise.
In this video, we explore:
* The ultimate Paris food tour in St. Germain.
* The City of a Hundred Spires—Rouen—and its midnight light show.
* Hiking to Richard the Lionheart’s Château Gaillard.
* A poignant journey to the Commonwealth and Canadian War Cemeteries.
* The brutalist beauty if the most unusual kaleidoscope church youve ever seen at Le Havre.
Is this the best river cruise in France? Whether you’re here for the luxury dining and gala dinners or the adrenaline-fueled excursions, this Seine River cruise vlog covers it all.
