| Dear Tiatira Com,
When you’re traveling, you can go and go and go, but eventually you need to hit the pause button. High-energy urban areas beg you to sample – maybe even “oversample” – and that kinetic energy will fuel your desire to see and do it all until you you’re ready to drop. That’s when it’s time to find a safety valve.
In Japan, that may be Okinawa, a place that asks you to just say “slow.” There’s a small danger in being smitten by a seascape, though: Mesmerized by the beautiful beaches, the curl of the waves, the pillows of sand, we may miss the essence of a destination. Places, like people, are rarely one dimensional, and if our appreciation of a resort town extends no farther than the edge of the sand, we may miss the broader picture.
No matter where your cruise takes you, Silversea wants you to travel deeply by illuminating a destination until its fullest portrait emerges, no matter the place, no matter the pace. That’s the promise of travel and the promise we make to you as you journey through the world.
Stay curious.
Warmest Regards,

| OKINAWA: NOT JUST ANOTHER PRETTY PLACE |
|
|
Besides its lushness, Okinawa proudly exhibits the influences of Japan, Korea and China. Its red-tiled-roof houses let the tropical outdoors inside, and on the roofs often sit one of China’s influences: the shisa, the “lion dog” designed to protect the home from evil spirits. Structures from the kingdoms that have ruled the island provide an even broader look into Okinawa’s past as do modern monuments honoring those who died in World War II. See all of this in one tiny island that invites you to share in its fascinating culture and history.

| HONG KONG CONTINUES ITS COMEBACK |
|
|
Closed by the pandemic, Hong Kong has fully reopened, even recently abandoning the requirement for face masks. The Chinese Autonomous Region has changed in the last three years, says a native-born traveler, whose return had her seeing her long-time home in a new and sometimes even more flattering light.
