In a demonstration of its commitment to deepening travellers'
connection to the destinations they visit, Silversea recently organised
an immersive culinary event at Sails in the Desert in Uluṟu, as part of
its Far-East-West World Cruise 2024.
Following their departure from Darwin, guests were transported to
Australia's Red Centre, where they went beyond far beyond traditional
tourism. A highlight of this excursion was a visit to the base of Uluṟu
within Uluṟu-Kata Tjuta National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site
renowned for its cultural and natural significance.

At the luxurious Sails in the Desert resort, travellers were treated
to a culinary experience curated by renowned Indigenous chef Mark Olive
in collaboration with Silversea's Travelling Fleet Executive Chef,
Anne-Mari Cornelius. This specially crafted menu showcased the diverse
flavors of Indigenous Australian cuisine, featuring delicacies such as
Bush Tomato Soup and Slow Cooked River Mint Lamb.
The evening was enriched by performances from First Nations artists,
providing guests with an intimate glimpse into Aboriginal culture
through music, dance, and storytelling.
"The event at Uluṟu was a shining example of Silversea's commitment
to offering our guests extraordinary experiences that go beyond the
conventional,” said Jannie Cloete, Silversea's director of experiences
and events.
