The Otium wellness program first made its debut aboard the Silver Dawn in 2022, and has now evolved aboard Silversea’s latest ship, Silver Nova. The program now offers a wider array of experiences and amenities for guests, aiming to provide a comprehensive wellness experience while onboard. This expansion includes the introduction of the Otium Suite, one of seven new suite categories aboard Silver Nova.
The Otium Suites on the Silver Nova are designed to offer guests a luxurious and relaxing experience. Each suite covers 1,324 square feet and features floor-to-ceiling windows in all living areas, providing stunning 270-degree views of the ocean. Additionally, the suites boast 431-square-foot balconies with a private whirlpool. The suite experience is enhanced with custom-made luxury mattresses, two large flat-screen televisions, sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity, and espresso machines. As an added bonus, guests staying in the Otium Suites can enjoy a complimentary treatment in the spa, valued at up to $399 per person based on double occupancy.
To provide guests with a holistic wellness experience, the Otium wellness program also features unique experiences such as the signature sleeping experience, which includes a choice of pillows, as well as the Otium bathing experience, which offers a range of bath salts, gourmet delicacies, and a curated playlist to elevate the bath experience. Moreover, Silver Nova has introduced the first balcony experience at sea, specifically tailored to both warm and cold weather, allowing guests to utilize their balconies throughout their journey. Guests can also enjoy the Otium comfort food experience, which includes a selection of snacks.
The array of in-suite Otium experiences has been expanded on the Silver Nova, most notably with the introduction of a new shower experience. This feature allows guests to indulge in the aromas of essential oils from invigorating shower steamers. The shower experience comes with a choice of three fragrances: Deep Sleep, Mood Boost, and Steam Room, each designed to elevate the showering experience with unique and alluring scents.
Furthermore, Silver Nova has introduced a new collection of refillable Otium bathroom amenities. These products are created with ethically sourced natural ingredients and enhanced with essential oils, catering to vegans. Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean, the fragrances include sun-ripened orange, tangy lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, patchouli, amber, and more, adding a sensory element to the wellness experience.
The heart of the Otium wellness program onboard Silver Nova is the Otium Spa, which has been repositioned towards the ship’s bow. The spa encompasses a 3,638-square-foot space housing an indoor relaxation pool, eight treatment rooms – including two Otium treatment rooms equipped with experiential showers and state-of-the-art treatment beds – a relaxation area, a fitness center, and a beauty salon. The thermal area is now larger than ever, featuring steam and sauna rooms, an indoor pool, a travertine and water fountain wall, and a floor-to-ceiling window that provides scenic views of the surrounding ocean. The Otium treatment menu now offers a wider selection of durations, catering to various preferences and schedules.
In addition to the spa and wellness offerings, guests on the Silver Nova can also indulge in a range of activities and experiences tailored to their interests. Whether it’s exploring the ship’s various dining venues, taking part in onboard entertainment, or participating in curated shore excursions, there’s no shortage of ways to make the most of the journey.
Overall, the expanded Otium wellness program aboard Silver Nova is designed to provide guests with a truly immersive and rejuvenating experience. Whether travelers seek relaxation, rejuvenation, or simply a moment of tranquility, the program aims to offer something for everyone, promising a luxurious and holistic wellness journey throughout their time onboard.
