A day aboard Silver Dawn is a chance to immerse yourself in the art of indulgence, where every detail has been designed for pleasure, discovery and relaxation. For some, the perfect morning might start with breakfast delivered directly to your door as you sip a steaming cup of coffee from the comfort of the plush bed, nibble on fresh pastries as you take in the spectacular views from the expansive window, or sit out on your private veranda as you watch the sun rise. If you prefer a more active start, the Fitness Centre awaits with state-of-the-art Technogym® equipment and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the ocean. Meanwhile, those seeking balance may find tranquillity in a yoga or Pilates class. Afterwards, head to La Terrazza for a leisurely breakfast. As the day unfolds, you’ll find Silver Dawn offers countless ways to spend your time at sea. Slip into serenity at the Otium Spa, where ancient Roman-inspired rituals and restorative treatments promise pure relaxation, or visit the Otium Beauty Salon for a touch of glamour before the evening. Guests with a love of culture and cuisine can join a hands-on cooking session in the S.A.L.T. Lab, learning local recipes and techniques that bring the flavours of your voyage to life. If your tastes lean more towards leisure, find a sun lounger beside the pool, order a refreshing cocktail, and let the day drift by to the sound of the ocean. Lunchtime offers a wealth of choice. Indulge in fresh seafood and prime cuts at Atlantide, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of The Grill with crisp salads and grilled favourites, or savour authentic pizzas at Spaccanapoli as the sea breeze drifts through. Each venue offers its own charm, ensuring every meal feels like an occasion. Afternoons are yours to enjoy as you please. Retreat to the quietude of the Observation Library, where panoramic views accompany a good book, or browse the exhibitions at the Arts Café while enjoying a speciality coffee. Shoppers will be tempted by the carefully curated Boutique, home to fine jewellery, fashion and exclusive Silversea collections. For those seeking something more spirited, the Casino offers an exhilarating escape, while Connoisseur’s Corner provides the perfect setting for a fine cigar in elegant surroundings. As evening approaches, the atmosphere on board shifts to one of glamour and anticipation. Refresh in your suite before stepping out for an aperitif in Dolce Vita, the stylish lounge where Italian charm and live piano music set the tone. Dining options are as varied as they are exquisite - from French haute cuisine at La Dame to the ever-changing, destination-inspired menus of S.A.L.T Kitchen, the delicate artistry of Kaiseki, or late-night tapas paired with live jazz at Silver Note. After dinner, the Venetian Lounge comes alive with dazzling productions and musical performances. At the same time, those who prefer a slower pace can enjoy cocktails in the Panorama Lounge or conversation under the stars on deck. However you choose to spend it, a day at sea aboard Silver Dawn is an invitation to indulge, discover, and unwind, with every moment crafted to be nothing short of extraordinary.

The high, volcanic islands of American Samoa sit along the Pacific Ring of Fire; their cone-shaped mountains rise with abrupt steepness. These islands are stunningly green, the windward hillsides carpeted thickly with coconut palms, breadfruit and mango, while the leeward side is punctuated by steep cliffs. Pago Pago (pronounced Pahngo Pahngo), on the island of Tutuila, boasts one of the world's most beautiful natural harbors that thrusts as a fjordlike arm deep into the land.

As the first independent state of Polynesia, Samoa is considered the cradle of the nation, a place where the Earth and the heart fuse seamlessly fuse together. Incidentally, were one to translate the word “Samoa” into the traditional Polynesia dialect, they would find that the words “Sa” and “Moa” mean exactly that: earth and centre. Apia, Samoa’s only town, is found central north coast of Upolu, Samoa’s second largest island. Originally a tiny village of just over 300 inhabitants (c. View less 1800), the town’s population has grown to be just shy of 40,000. While a population of such size might mean forgetting traditional roots in favour of modern life, this has not been the case (too much) in Apria. The Samoan way of life is still very much the order of the day; traditional open-sided houses with thatched roofs on platforms of coral or concrete, also known as ‘fales’, can be seen everywhere and nearly all of the population (including the policemen) wear the typical local dress; skirts, or ‘lavalavas’ for men, and long, mumu-style dresses for women. The markets are bursting with culture and colour, selling everything from handicrafts to cuisine and local produce. If the idyllic setting of aquamarine pools of bluey green water, framed by low fringed palms and huge umbrella trees seems familiar, that’s because it probably is. The island, and notably the southern resort of Lefaga, was used in the 1953 Gary Cooper classic Return to Paradise Beach. It is also the last place on Earth to see each day’s sunset.
