A trip to Antarctica is on every travel lover's bucket list, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the least visited place on Earth. Antarctica is a land of extremes, the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, with the highest average altitude of all the continents, unique wildlife, and a surface that is 98% covered in ice, with only a few thousand inhabitants scattered across its vast expanse. Visiting it is a truly unforgettable experience, offered by Silversea.
An expedition with Silversea is unlike any other way to travel: thrilling and awe-inspiring at the same time. The company's ships take passengers off the beaten track in two distinct ways: crossing the legendary Drake Passage, or with their newest itinerary, flying directly to Antarctica, beginning in Punta Arenas, Chile, with a 90-minute flight to King George Island to start the adventure in the heart of the white continent.
Expedition cruises aboard three of their ships:
- With 20 new Zodiacs, four superlative restaurants in Antarctica and a pole-to-pole expedition itinerary, Silver Cloud truly breaks the ice between expedition and luxury.
- The perfect illustration of how complete a small ship can be. With only 274 guests, beautiful suites, and spacious public areas, Silver Wind is one of the most welcoming and intimate ships afloat today.
- The latest addition to the fleet, the Silver Endeavour is revolutionizing expedition travel, allowing exploration of some of the most remote coastlines on the planet.
Silversea offers the chance to explore this pristine white landscape where the light is intoxicating, the silence and stillness deafening, yet it teems with an incredible abundance of life, from thousands of penguins and humpback whales surfacing to seals basking on the ice. It's an unforgettable experience. Almost every day, Zodiacs piloted by expert naturalists take you to areas where you can admire the breathtaking views of enormous icebergs and spot wildlife.
