And, sailing aboard Silver Dawn for the first time, our World Cruise guests will enjoy an enhanced onboard experience, including the best of our innovative S.A.L.T. culinary and Otium wellness programs. Together with our exclusive signature events, which we have specially curated to give our guests an experience they can’t get anywhere else, guests will explore the world in a new light.” Rediscovering the World Off-Tempo Staying true to its musical origins, Controtempo was designed to rediscover the world off-tempo and offbeat, offering unique perspectives on both iconic and off-the-beaten-path destinations.
