Embarkation Day on Silver Moon: Champagne and Paper Cranes at Tokyo's Harumi Terminal

April 30, 2026, Harumi, Tokyo. Silver Moon waited at the pier as a 15-day, 14-night trans-Pacific voyage to Alaska was about to begin. The welcome spoke in paper cranes and chilled towels, all the way to a bottle of champagne opened by our butler in the suite — embarkation day, with the excitement written all over it.

Embarkation Day Dinner on Silver Moon: S.A.L.T.'s Taste of Tokyo, Café Sweets and Late-Night Room Service

The first evening aboard Silver Moon: a dual-menu dinner at S.A.L.T. Kitchen shaped by the port of Tokyo — king crab legs, Fukagawa clam rice, duck nanban soba and four dessert plates — then macarons and a matcha latte at the café, and finally a late-night room-service supper of burger, hot dog and crème brûlée in the suite.

Silver Moon's Days at Sea: Wakes and Grey Seas

From Tokyo to Alaska, the first part of the voyage had plenty of days spent entirely at sea. This post is not about itineraries; it is about the ship's own days: the harbour at departure, the wake behind the ship, grey seas, and then the sea seen from a restaurant window and a balcony, and evening and fjord waters.

A Day in Kodiak aboard Silver Moon: Docking, the Waterfront and Bears

On 11 May, Silver Moon docked at Kodiak. From the balcony we watched the crab-pot yard by the dock, then walked the wet asphalt pier past the processing plant and the harbour, and met the town's bears: an information board, a statue, and sculptures fishing for salmon in an exhibit hall.
