Silversea’s Silver Dawn departed from Tokyo on January 13 on its 2025 World Cruise, Controtempo, a 136-day voyage to 59 destinations in 30 countries.
It will arrive in New York on May 29, 2025, taking guests through off-the-beaten path destinations – including 19 that are new to a Silversea World Cruise – through Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America during unconventional seasons.

“Controtempo will open the world to even the most well-travelled guests like never before, allowing them to journey deeper into four diverse continents,” said Bert Hernandez, president, Silversea.
Controtempo is a musical term that means off tempo, and the voyage was designed to rediscover the world off-tempo and offbeat for more in-depth, authentic experiences.
World Cruise guests will enjoy an enhanced onboard experience including S.A.L.T, Silversea’s culinary programme that showcases the unique flavours of each destination, Otium spa and wellness programmes, and specially crafted signature events.
These events are designed to experience the destinations through unique culinary and entertainment experiences to get the most out of the cities they visit, such as a sunset cruise along the rivers of Hoi An, dinner between the dunes of the desert in Namibia, and dinner in the Palace of Versailles.
