Inspired by ancient Rome, where everything from sumptuous dining and spa experiences to socializing were part of the daily lives of the elite, Silversea's "Otium" wellness philosophy creates a world that combines leisure and pleasure. "Otium" takes this tried-and-tested concept and brings it to life on board. From curated experiences bookable at the spa or your suite to wellness treatments that make you look as good as they feel, these unforgettable journeys are guaranteed to take you away from everyday life. The "Otium" revolution, where living well and feeling good are not mutually exclusive, completely redefines wellness on the high seas.
A session offers far more than simple treatments: Ranging from all-time classics to completely personalized rituals, "Otium" is also an experience for the senses. A soothing color palette creates the perfect ambiance, while fine materials enhance the feeling of holistic luxury. In addition, bespoke artwork inspired by ancient Rome can be found throughout the spa, beauty salon and fitness center. The design of "Otium" creates a magical atmosphere that blends 2,000 years of culture with innovative design. Also part of the concept are the so-called "In-Suite Experiences", which bring the luxurious feel-good experience right to your own bedroom so that you can fully enjoy every moment.
Perfect for relaxation seekers and wellness lovers who are looking for the best of the best in relaxation and want to be pampered.
