Silversea Cruises Returns To Antarctica With Ultra-Luxury Expeditions

Silversea’s Silver Explorer has launched the highly-anticipated return of ultra-luxury expedition cruising to Antarctica, recently setting sail from her new departure port of Puerto Williams, Chile. Silversea’s partnership efforts in this regard include:

PARTNERSHIP WITH DAP ANTARCTIC AIRWAYS

For the first time, Silversea’s guests are discovering Antarctica from Puerto Williams aboard Silver Explorer. DAP Antarctic Airways is providing Silversea’s guests with private, round-trip flights between Santiago and Puerto Williams. DAP Antarctic Airways is also the carrier selected to provide the flight component of Antarctica Bridge, Silversea’s new fly-cruise program that provides the fastest, most direct route to Antarctica.

Offering a diverse range of itinerary options, Silver Explorer and Silver Cloud will allow exploration of the White Continent for guests through March 2022. Several itineraries focus on the stunning pristine wilderness of the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands, while others include visits to South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, where opportunities abound to witness bustling penguin colonies and other spectacular wildlife.

SILVER WIND LEAVES DRY DOCK

Silversea’s third ice-class ship, Silver Wind, has left the dry dock at the Remontowa shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland. Expanding the range of voyage options for Silversea’s expeditions, Silver Wind will debut as an expedition ship in May 2022 in the Mediterranean, before heading to Northern Europe and the Arctic for the summer season.

UNRIVALED ALL-INCLUSIVE LUXURY IN ANTARCTICA

Silversea’s guests enjoy the most inclusive Antarctica package in ultra-luxury cruising, comprising:

• Round-trip transoceanic flights in economy class (or reduced business class airfares) to Santiago;
