Ship - Silver Dawn

A new world of luxury is waiting aboard Silver Dawn. Elegant and modern, Silver Dawn is the natural evolution of our fleet. Large enough to offer eight dining options – including the superb Sea and Land Taste (S.A.L.T.) programme – yet small enough for the famed Silversea onboard ambience, Silver Dawn inherits the best features of her sister ships Silver Muse and Silver Moon, but is in a class all of her own. With sumptuous suites, outstanding itineraries, plus cutting-edge design and technology and the outstanding OTIVM wellness concept, Silver Dawn sets new standards of luxury. Wake up to a new dawn with Silversea.

Key features of the Silver Dawn

Accommodation:

• All Suites Onboard are decorated in neutral hues with pops of orange and blue. All suites are equally gorgeous, really different size variations on one elegant residential-inspired theme with stunning marble baths. The 242 Veranda Suites are the largest category and popular. Those living especially large bunk in Royal, Grand or Owner Suites, one-to-two bedroom accommodations with even larger verandas. Silver Suites and up receive more perks such as an illy espresso-maker or complimentary laundry; the higher the category, the more amenities. That said, stay in an entry level veranda-free Vista Suite, and experience indulgence in every important way – enjoy butler service, bathe in a stall shower or soaking tub.

Staff is What Makes It:

• Once you’ve experienced Silver Dawn – or other Silversea ship - butlers, you may find sailing without them lacking. Butlers take the time to learn you - the little things, like wanting breakfast eggs, scrambled well with chives only served in-suite at 8 a.m., or a daily gin martini delivered precisely at six p.m. on the veranda. They whisk away laundry, switch shore excursions and find last-minute dining reservations without breaking a sweat. Quite simply, they make cruising smooth as silk, providing a glimpse of what rarified life is like. They may wear tuxedos and white gloves and strike a formal tone, but their polished presentation never feels stiff. Such service works for this ship, and makes Silversea stand out from Regent Seven Seas and Seabourn, comparable luxury lines. The entire crew strikes that fairly formal tone (except for servers in outdoor eateries)yet you can feel the underlying warmth.

Dining:

• Multiple gourmet restaurants offering diverse cuisine, including specialty dining options.   See our Culinary Section, there is just too much amazing to talk about here.

Spa and Wellness:

• The Silver Dawn has a full-service spa and wellness program called OTIVM, which combines spa treatments, dining, and lifestyle enhancements. 
• Modeled after the ancient Roman elite class’s lifestyle, Otium emphasizes indulgence and pampering. The ancient Roman-style art and softly lit rooms create a slightly decadent ambiance. Your butler will present a spa robe in-suite before your treatment, and the new lengthier Med-inspired treatments like 100-minute facials and massages are a hit. Post-massage, I was so relaxed I pushed the elevator button for the wrong floor. Medi-spa services are also available, and all passengers can enjoy the steam rooms and saunas of Otium Thermal Suite complimentary.

• Otium indulgence extends to suites, too. Rest and renewal are key to the Otium philosophy, with specially designed Otium mattresses and crisp Italian linens. I slept deeply each night. Butlers draw (battery-powered) candlelit aromatherapy baths post-treatment and present a wooden tray with champagne and a handmade macaron. The Otium comfort-food room service menu, with treats like truffled popcorn and foie gras burger on brioche and the chocolate truffles.  You know where I am heading on our Sea Days!

The Silver Dawn offers a variety of entertainment options, bars, lounges, and other venues to keep you entertained throughout your cruise. Here are some highlights:

Entertainment

• Venetian Lounge: Enjoy full-scale productions of theater and music.

• Arts Café: Hosting various exhibitions, the Arts Café showcases paintings and sculptures from a broad range of artists.

Bars and Lounges

• Connoisseur's Corner: Sip the finest cognac in this rich and luxurious indoor/outdoor venue.

• Dolce Vita: A gathering place for savvy travelers to mingle and enjoy a drink.

• Panorama Lounge: A peaceful retreat perfect for socializing and meeting new friends.

• Pool Bar: Enjoy a frozen cocktail by the pool.

• S.A.L.T. Bar: Get a taste of the authentic flavors of the sailing region.

Other Venues

• Observation Library: Boasts exceptional views overlooking the ocean.

• S.A.L.T. Lab: An interactive space where guests can dive into local culinary techniques.

• Otium Spa: Offers a range of pampering treatments and relaxation options.

• Fitness Centre: Elite design and programs to keep you active.

• Pool Deck & Jacuzzi Area: Take a dip in the pool, relax in one of the whirlpools, or soak up the view from one of the sun loungers.

These are just a few of the many features onboard the Silver Dawn that ensure a memorable and enjoyable cruise experience

As your onboard host, I will be reaching out to each one of you to see if you'd like to participate in rotational group dining. This is where I make reservations for us as a group to get to know each other in each of the ship's lovely restaurants.

Don't want to join group dining? No problem! Participate in any activities as little or as much as you want. I am here to facilitate fun and friendships!

Silver Dawn features a variety of eight onboard dining venues including S.A.L.T. Kitchen, La Dame, La Terrazza, Atlantide, Silver Note, Kaiseki, Spaccanapoli, The Grill, plus 24-hour in-suite dining.  

Restaurant reservations for our specialty restaurants can be requested on your “My Silversea” personal login area at www.my.silversea.com starting from 120 days and up to two days before your departure date.

With eight dining choices, eating well and lavishly is the name of the game. Order from a “dine-around” menu anytime, anywhere, and enjoy 24-hour room service, including dinner served in courses. Only two restaurants are fee-based (La Dame and Kaiseki), and evening reservations are required for all except alfresco pizzeria Spaccanapoli, S.A.L.T. Kitchen, and three-meal-a-day Atlantide. La Dame’s reservations are the hardest to get; book way in advance for a swoon-worthy French six-course extravaganza with foie gras, lobster, and aged beef. Despite its main-dining status, Atlantide still feels special, with intricate menus starring primo beef and seafood. (Order the Indian food specials; native chefs ensure they’re authentic.) Everyone loves lively La Terrazza, with its peerless charcuterie board, pillowy focaccia, and daily hand-crafted pastas. (The lasagna and duck ragout pappardelle are fabulous.)

Kaiseki is a hit for complimentary lunchtime sushi, but come nighttime, chefs up their game with exquisite sashimi and modern Japanese takes on classics like surf and turf. Silver Note delivers tapas with a cool jazz or blues club scene. (I preferred dropping by later for the excellent entertainment.) S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) Kitchen dishes up cuisine reflecting the sailing region, keeping the soul in plates like Portuguese pan-fried salt cod.

At the poolside Grill, passengers sizzle steaks and fish over hot rocks; many love it simply for its casual under-the-stars vibe. Passengers often stop walking the jogging track, drawn by the wafting aroma of Neapolitan pizza at Spaccanapoli. My favorite hangout was the all-day Arts Café, for frothy morning cappuccinos, flaky afternoon scones, and evening appetizers like salmon mousse topped with salmon roe.

And let's not forget the sustainable top-drawer caviar, available complimentary, anytime, anywhere. I made it a nightly fest, gleefully washed down with champagne. The tiny S.A.L.T. Bar, showcasing mixologist concoctions evoking the region, was always buzzing. So much so, I never got in. I chilled at Dolce Vita, an expansive people-watching lounge where the bartender stirred perfect martinis and lemon drops.

Complimentary (Included) Dining:

Atlantide (Open Seating, No Reservations Required) Opening hours: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (dinner: 18:00 - 20:30) Pivotal to the Silver Dawn dining experience, this elegant bar and grill incorporates the best that the sea has to offer.

The Grill (Reservations Recommended for Dinner) Opening hours: Lunch and dinner (dinner: 18:30 - 21:00) Soft breezes and ocean views beckon at The Grill, especially as the sun goes down when fellow guests gather for cocktails at the outdoor bar and talk about the day’s events.

Restaurants with a Service Fee:

Kaiseki (Lunch is complimentary / $40 Per Person for Dinner, Reservations Required) Opening hours: Lunch and dinner (dinner: 18:30 - 21:00) One of the most immediately recognizable characteristics of Japanese culture by its stunning costumes and elaborate make-up, the ancient art of Kaiseki theatre reflects a passion for tradition and performance.
