THE ARCTIC: DON’T JUST GO THERE. KNOW THERE.
UNLOCK THE HEART OF THE ARCTIC WITH OUR PIONEERING POLAR EXPERIENCE
The polar regions have always been very dear to me, and I am thrilled to share that with the November 2022 launch of Silver Endeavour, the world’s most luxurious expedition ship, we are offering a series of new and unique Arctic itineraries that will allow you to explore higher and deeper into the Arctic than ever before. From an expedition to the rarely navigated Northeastern Greenland National Park – a first for Silversea – to immersive explorations of the Canadian High Arctic and a thrilling Northwest Passage, we take you to some of the hardest-to-reach places on Earth in extraordinary comfort.
This pioneering new ship joins our beautiful ice-class sister ships Silver Cloud and Silver Wind allowing Silversea Expeditions to offer discerning travellers the most comprehensive collection of all-inclusive, ultra-luxury polar expeditions through early 2025
Come with us to discover the Antarctic Peninsula, the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and South America as well as Arctic realms including Iceland and Svalbard on myriad itineraries to suit every schedule and preferred destination. Now, guests can also enjoy a vast number of voyages enriched with Mandarin-speaking guest relations staff and savour in authentic cuisine on board. What’s more, when you book by 31 May 2023, you can take advantage of our best fares and limited-time savings.
Take a moment to peruse the pages that follow and let your wanderlust guide you to the right ship in the right destination. On behalf of my Expedition Team and all of us at Silversea, it will be a pleasure to explore with you.
Warm regards
Adam Radwanski Managing Director, Asia PacificLet Silversea immerse you in ultra-luxury from the second you leave home. From private executive transfers to and from the airport to business class upgrades, our door-to-door service leaves you free to enjoy stress free travel to the Arctic.
Thanks to our wealth of knowledge acquired over 15 years of exploring the Arctic, and the expertise of our seasoned experts, our expeditions open the doors to the polar realm like no one else on Earth, in ultimate safety and comfort.
With the highest expert-to-guest ratio in the industry, we offer personalised enrichment experiences onboard and ashore to make the most of every moment. From more in-depth lectures to more Zodiacs and kayaks per guest, we take your curiosity further. Shore excursions are included in every expedition voyage.
Our teams have scouted new destinations and gateways to unlock access to the Arctic realm in a way unseen before. Our nimble ice-class ships access areas of the Arctic others simply can’t reach, opening more polar possibilities along your adventure.
Intimate yet spacious, our expedition ships accommodate only 200 to 274 guests to ensure you always experience the highest level of personal service. The finest dining at sea means that however far you are from home, you never compromise on luxury.
Enjoy one of the highest space-per-guest ratios at sea. All suites feature ocean views and sophistocated ammenities. We offer only the finest comforts in luxury cruise accommodation. You can even enjoy dinner in-suite served by your butler and choice of pillows. Silversea’s suites are truly your home from home on the high seas.
Silversea Expeditions have one of the highest expedition personnel-to-guest ratios in all of expedition cruising. Drawing on our deep connections worldwide, every voyage features a team of 11 to 28 qualified specialists – naturalists, scientists, ornithologists, glaciologists – with expertise tailored to the wildlife, wilderness, and culture of a specific region.
These experienced and talented professionals are chosen for their passion and dedication to their specialised field, as well as for their openness, friendliness, and genuine enthusiasm. From leading daily “Recap & Briefing” lectures and engaging discussions on board to hosting all excursions off-ship – by Zodiac, kayak, hiking, and more – our Expedition Team is an essential part of your expedition, elevating your discovery with shared secrets and memorable stories.
As a young expedition leader early on in my career, I spent many wonderful summers in the Arctic and fell in love with its grandeur, scenery, vast ice fields, and the hospitality of the local communities. Together with my Expedition Teams, I cannot wait to share these destinations with you in Silversea style.
Curated specifically for each itinerary, Expedition Team members range from biologists and ornithologists to geologists, historians and photographers. They make sure every adventure you go on is thoroughly taken care of, so your experience is always something to post online before the day is over.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect exposure setting to capture your shot, wanting to know the name of the bird staring at you from a rocky outcrop, or curious about the history of a local area, someone is always nearby to provide answers and insight.
There’s nothing quite like the sight of animals in the wild or the awe of millions of birds nesting on towering cliffs – especially when witnessed with the unique perspectives afforded on a Zodiac excursion. Our Expedition Team members will get you close to the action, all you have to do is climb aboard.
Get up close and personal with the stunning landscapes and teeming wildlife of the world’s most remote regions on expert-led hiking adventures from South Georgia to Svalbard and beyond. What better way to truly discover the diversity of flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth?
Under the guidance of certified kayak instructors, take charge of your discovery on a kayaking adventure throughout myriad islands and into dramatic fjords. Imagine floating alongside an immense glacier in total silence, or having a curious seal glide beside you in the water.
Please note: When travelling in remote regions, all activities are dependent on tides, winds, weather, and ice conditions.
Understanding the unique aspects of each destination - its wildlife, geology, culture, and more – is an inherent part of your expedition experience. Our experts host conversational lectures in advance of each port call or landing site ensuring you are well prepared for the adventure.
No matter how far or remote the destination, a Silversea expedition offers the most complete and seamless experience in the industry. We have curated every aspect of your journey to the highest standards of luxury, from private flights to hotel stays, transfers, and more.. allowing you to arrive in your destination rested and ready to explore. All you have to do is show up, and we’ll take care of the rest. Our journeys feature the same renowned allinclusive Silversea service enjoyed by our guests around the world.
We’ve always been committed to making your voyage the most enjoyable and comfortable it can be, every time, as well as exceeding your expectations at every turn. And now we’re even more all-inclusive than ever, with a brand new feature we know you’ll love: full door-to-door service with private executive transfers. This means our five-star service accompanies you everywhere and your Silversea experience begins right at your front doorstep. We’ve made your journey entirely seamless so all you have to do is sit back, relax and delight in your travels.

Caviar and white-glove service. Glittering crystal chandeliers and infinity pools that melt into the horizon. Haute cuisine and fine wines. All are hallmarks of luxury travel.
The November 2022 debut of Silver Endeavour, the newest member of the Silversea fleet, raises the bar for amenities. The vessel is said to be, on a per-berth basis, the most expensive cruise ship ever built and boasts public spaces and private places amenities that most of us have never dreamed of. Which begs these questions: Do hardy travelers in search of adventure in the world’s most inhospitable places really need a butler? Caviar? A spa?
“Why not? Comfort is important in travel, and attention to detail and a sense of seamlessness enhance the cruise experience,” says Barbara Muckermann, President & CEO of Silversea.
“But luxury, increasingly, is defined partly by what does not happen. It’s the absence of unnecessary stress. It’s the millions of details that must be attended to and the realization that all of them have been addressed. That’s also the experience we want to give the Silversea passenger.”
Removing the friction points in travel matters more than ever, says Wendy Perrin, Editor in Chief of trip-planning advisory WendyPerrin.com.
“I don’t want to spend my vacation time dealing with hassles and annoyances,” she says. “I want to be relaxed. People want to eliminate the work from their vacation, and the more a company can eliminate logistics and give the time back to you, the better.”
When the pandemic swept in, travelers watched helplessly as their options evaporated. Vacations were canceled, sometimes repeatedly, and even when the world began to travel again, beloved cities and ports remained closed.
“The true definition of luxury today is when you get to keep your options,” says Peter Greenberg, a longtime journalist who is CBS News’ Travel Editor.“ We redefined what mattered. It’s no longer just rich Corinthian leather, but space, breathability, clarity. “
Just as there is no longer one definition of luxury, there is no one perception of it either. Luxury, Perrin says, means different things to different people.
Kissed by the midnight sun’s ethereal warmth, the Arctic’s brief summer thaw is a tempting invitation for the truly adventurous to journey northward – to the Arctic Circle and beyond to explore Svalbard, Iceland, Greenland, and the Canadian High Arctic. Blanketed in uncompromised luxury aboard our state-of-the-art ships, you’ll find our brand of Far North exploration far more accommodating than that which Ross, Amundsen, and Parry endured… yet no less exhilarating. That could mean scanning the horizon for polar bears, taking a Zodiac cruise to access a remote Inuit community, or kayaking glacial Arctic seas for extraordinary views of stunning landscapes.
Silversea’s extensive explorations throughout this region range from a full circumnavigation of Svalbard to a rare navigation of the legendary Northwest Passage, giving you extraordinary options for your Arctic adventures.
• Prepare for 1-2 landings per day on every expedition, regardless of itinerary, weather permitting

Hosted by our skilled and passionate guides in smaller groups, each is curated to allow for intimate discoveries in far-away, little-explored lands.

Formed by volcanoes and settled by Vikings, Iceland is home to mesmerising lagoons and thundering waterfalls, astonishing fjords and exceptional wildlife (think thousands of puffins and thrilling whale-watching). Beyond the Arctic Circle, Svalbard’s frozen archipelago is a wonderland of vast mountains, icy desert, virgin tundra, and huge glaciers. Repeated ice ages carved out stunning fjords creating steep cliffs where colonies of brent geese, common elders, black guillemots, and more come to nest. While the polar bear is king here, wildlife abounds from walrus and whales to seals and reindeer.

SVALBARD,
This remote archipelago is a magnificent landscape of glaciers and fjords, islands and sounds, hot springs and old volcanoes. Home to several Important Bird Areas, other wildlife includes the Arctic fox, Svalbard reindeer, seals, and of course, the mighty polar bear. The remnants of whaling stations and 17th-century graves recall history, whilst glaciers creak and groan as they calve into the sea and ice floes serve
The world’s largest island is covered by a massive ice sheet carved with immense glaciers and dramatic fjords, creating the uniquely captivating scenery for which Greenland is known. It is within this land of staggering beauty that Silversea carefully reveals tales of Viking lore and insight into Inuit culture. Come explore iconic fjords via Zodiac. Go whale watching and kayaking. Discover Eric the Red’s legacy and the modern-day way of life for people who live on the edge of the ice. Journey deep into the Canadian High Arctic in search of bears, muskoxen, beluga whales, harp seals, and all kinds of migratory birds amidst the granite cliffs and glacial tundra in Nunavut and Manitoba.

Located just north of the Arctic Circle, Sisimiut is the northernmost town in Greenland where the port remains free of ice in the winter. Yet it is also the southernmost town where enough snow and ice exists to drive a dogsled in winter and spring. Sisimiut has been the home of a variety of cultures and groups for nearly 4,500 years. Ruins of early settlements can still be seen west of the town. Hike, kayak, go flightseeing, or simply take a stroll through this picturesque town to discover its ancient history and backcountry charm.
