When the new Silver Dawn takes her inaugural sailing in April 2022, Silversea’s ultra-luxury ship will also debut the cruise line’s holistic new wellness program. Otium is designed to merge wellness and indulgence. Its experiences embody the Roman leisure lifestyle and the concepts of nonstop pampering and pure enjoyment. Guests will certainly discover Otium in Silver Dawn’s world-class and reimagined Spa, but they’ll also feel elements of it integrated into their sumptuous suites, elevating sleep, the bath and the balcony.
As Silversea’s 10th ultra-luxury ship, Silver Dawn is the next evolution in the impressive fleet. Featuring the small ship-intimacy and spacious accommodations that Silversea guests expect, Silver Dawn is both classic yet modern in design. The ship caters to only 596 guests in 298 all-ocean view suites, with 96 percent boasting a private veranda. Guests can choose from among eight onboard dining options. Encompassing the best of sister ships Silver Muse and Silver Moon, Silver Dawn takes the lead in offering onboard enhancements that include the Otium experience designed to pamper body, mind, and soul.
The Spa on Silver Dawn is infused with all things Otium, filled with unexpected surprises and multiple special touchpoints. Comfort and pleasure come first starting with a highly selective treatment menu of massages and much more designed with relaxation and personalized pampering at its core. Options include such delights as the Roman Bliss Massage, a moisturizing full-body massage integrating an organic blend of pure argan oil, and the Divine Experience, a massage of both the full body and scalp paired with hand and foot warming paraffin treatments. The experience extends into the salon with services that continue the indulgence, such as The Emperor’s Chair, which combines scalp, face, hand and arm massage with an eyebrow trim and choice of drink. The spa’s thermal areas invite guests to further their journeys with champagne or signature snacks ranging from caviar to truffles.
Guests’ personalized path of pampering continues in the luxury of their individual suites, where comfort is mingled with unexpected extraordinary touches. The Sleep Experience features a newly-developed mattress aptly called the Otium Soft Touch, a redesigned pillow menu, a collection of blankets and pillow mists, and 100 percent combed, 400 thread-count Egyptian cotton linens. Guests can unplug further with the Otium Movie Experience, which combines an in-suite 24/7 menu of comfort food and their suite’s home theater’s library of top films. Spacious bathrooms boast bathtubs and walk-in showers in all suites on Silver Dawn. As part of guests’ Otium experience, they are encouraged to unwind in the bath with back and neck rest pillows, exclusive bath salts, and a selection of personalized scents and musical menu. Treats, such as champagne, caviar or chocolate truffles, enhance the path to full relaxation. The Otium Balcony Experience gets guests taking more than a much-needed moment to enjoy the views from their own spacious suite balcony. Touches here can include cashmere blankets and a choice of beverages from the first hot chocolate menu at sea while in the cold weather and body mists, sun creams and cocktails during warm-weather sailings.
