Mahe to Cape Town

Silver Dawn, launched in 2021, is a shining example of Silversea’s commitment to redefining ultra-luxury cruising. With a capacity of 596 guests and a near 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, the ship blends contemporary design with old-world sophistication. One of the key innovations aboard Silver Dawn is the exclusive Otium wellness program, inspired by the Roman lifestyle of indulgent relaxation. Unlike traditional wellness approaches that emphasize detox and deprivation, Otium offers a luxurious perspective on comfort—guests enjoy champagne and delicacies in the spa, cozy cashmere blankets in their suites, and curated in-suite bath experiences.

The culinary experience aboard Silver Dawn is equally groundbreaking. The SALT (Sea and Land Taste) program allows guests to explore regional cuisine in immersive ways, both onboard and ashore. With eight dining venues, including SALT Kitchen, SALT Lab, and SALT Bar, alongside signature restaurants like La Dame and Kaiseki, culinary variety is endless. The décor is modern yet inviting, with spacious lounges, elegant public areas, and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout.

All accommodations aboard Silver Dawn are suites, each with a private veranda, butler service, and marble-clad bathrooms. The Owner’s Suite and Grand Suite offer residential-style luxury, while the Veranda Suites provide elegant comfort with panoramic sea views. Entertainment includes live music, lectures, and enriching cultural programming.
