Silversea: Expeditions As An Artform

Maggie Blehert

Recognizing that no two travelers are alike, Silversea Expeditions covers more destinations than most other cruise lines thanks to its fleet of five purpose-built expedition ships. Experience the immaculate natural world as never before on an adventure in Africa and the Indian Ocean, Australia and New Zealand, the Caribbean and Central America, the American West Coast, South America, the South Pacific, the Galápagos Islands, the Arctic or Antarctica.

Introducing Silver EndeavourSM

Your opportunity to explore Antarctica is more appealing than ever with the new 200-guest Silver Endeavour, the most luxurious expedition ship ever built.

Silver Endeavour is designed to take inquisitive travelers to both polar regions in complete comfort, with the most spacious accommodations in expedition cruising and upholding Silversea’s trademark level of comfort. (Silversea President and CEO Roberto Martinoli says the aft pool, enclosed by a glass dome, is his favorite feature—not to mention a unique one for an expedition ship.)

We’re very excited about Silversea’s new Antarctica Bridge sailings—where you fly via business class-quality air service, from Punta Arenas straight to Antarctica (only a two-hour flight), then board the ship. This incredible program showcases the best of Antarctica and is highly convenient, with the all-inclusive expeditions being from five to nine days. Itineraries for Silver Endeavour are now open through March 2024. After the current season in Antarctica, the ship will make its way north and provide unprecedented access to the Canadian High Arctic, the British Isles, Iceland and Greenland—before returning to Antarctica in late October 2023.

The Galápagos Islands are another can’t-miss expedition that Silversea continues to refine and perfect. Our Expedition Cruise Expert Gillian Clark cruised on the intimate 100-guest Silver Origin in 2021.

Gillian applauds the truly seamless, door-to-door experience that Silversea provides from the time you leave home until you are on the ship. Ashore, naturalists guide you every step of the way as you get closer than you’ve ever dreamed to Galápagos giant tortoises, iguanas and hundreds of exotic birds.

Gillian said the aft landing zone that enables guests to step on and off the ship onto Zodiacs is a comfortable and fairly easy experience.

If you’ve always been curious about getting up close to nature but want to do so in a safe and more luxurious way, Silversea can make it happen for you.
