Silversea sets sail from Tokyo on Controtempo world cruise

Silversea has set sail on its 2025 World Cruise, Controtempo, inviting guests to journey offbeat to 59 destinations in 30 countries.

Sailing from Tokyo on Jan. 13, 2025, and arriving to New York on May 29, 2025, guests will experience many of the most iconic cities and off-the-beaten-path gems in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America during unconventional seasons, pairing exploration with destination immersion.   

“Controtempo will open the world to even the most well-traveled guests like never before, allowing them to journey deeper into four diverse continents,” said Bert Hernandez, president, Silversea. “Travelling from East to West, Controtempo – a musical term meaning ‘off-tempo’ – will take guests closer to the authentic heartbeat of iconic and unique destinations, with more time ashore to experience the world’s most enriching destinations during unconventional seasons. 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.”
