Silversea’s Silver Spirit houses two specialty restaurants that incur a per person charge: Le Champagne and Seishin. Seishin is Silver Spirit’s Asian restaurant, which offers three degustation menus. The surcharge is $30 per person.

The menu changes nightly but many items, like the sashimi platter and spider crab roll, are served several times during a cruise.

My husband and I tried Seishin during our June 2010 Eastern Mediterranean cruise from Venice to Athens. I am not a fan of sushi but wanted to give it one more try at a restaurant that has received rave reviews. Well, I’m still not a sushi fan but I could tell that the ingredients used at Seishin were of high quality. The spider crab roll and wagyu beef were my favorite courses.

The waitstaff is excellent and the intimate restaurant, which seats fewer than 30 guests, is lovely. Japanese beers and sake are also available.
