Silversea Extends Antarctica Cruise Offering

Silversea Antarctica cruises will be extended during the 2023/24 season to meet growing demand for ultra-luxury voyages to this part of the world. The fly-cruise programme will provide the fastest, most direct route to Antarctica by enabling holidaymakers to travel over the Drake Passage in the comfort of business class.

Among the available itineraries is a fast-track option, including two new five-day expedition voyages on board Silver Cloud. These will depart on 2 and 7 February 2024, and there is a six-day option departing on 12 February.

Silversea Antarctica cruises provide an inclusive offering, with international and internal roundtrip flights, private executive transfers, butler service and onboard gratuities all included in the fare.

The ultra-luxury cruise line recently improved guests’ journeys to Antarctica with the launch of round-trip voyages from Puerto Williams, Chile for sailings that cross the Drake Passage. Starting from the 2022-2023 season, guests sailing aboard the line’s three ice-class expedition ships – Silver Cloud, Silver Wind and Silver Explorer – will be able to make the most of more convenient flight times, personalised service during a private charter flight, and quicker transfers to the ship. This offer applies to exclusive itineraries departing from the new gateway of Puerto Williams.

Roberto Martinoli, Silversea’s President and CEO, said: “In response to exceptional demand, we have added three new fly-cruise voyages aboard Silver Cloud for 2024, enhancing our industry-leading Antarctica offering and strengthening our destination leadership

“We offer guests the luxury of choice, with the most diverse offering in ultra-luxury Antarctica cruising. Our pioneering Antarctica Bridge option is tremendously popular with time-conscious travellers who prefer to experience the White Continent without crossing the Drake Passage.”
