“Controtempo, a musical term that means ‘off-tempo’, will take guests closer to the authentic heartbeat of iconic and off-the-beaten-path destinations,” explains Roberto Martinoli, President and CEO, Silversea Cruises.

“We will be travelling to an unusual rhythm, from East to West, with more time ashore in unconventional seasons,” he added.

Martinoli said that the 2025 World Cruise will mark the first time Silversea has used its larger ship for such an itinerary, which is a reflection of the increased demand the cruise line is seeing for longer voyages.
