LET US TAKE YOU CLOSER TO THE AUTHENTIC BEAUTY OF ANTARCTICA AND THE ARCTIC
Dear Traveller
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 able to offer our guests 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 hardestto-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. What’s more, when you book by 31 May 2023, you can take advantage of our best fares and limitedtime savings:
• Door-to-Door All-Inclusive: featuring a refundable, reduced 15% deposit and a price guarantee on the most competitive and comprehensive all-inclusive fares in cruising including private executive transfers from home, international flights, and Business Class upgrades, and more. These fares will increase on 1 June 2023.
• Port-to-Port All-Inclusive: for flexibility without sacrificing luxury, these fares provide savings of up to 25% compared to Door-to-Door (without air) and are ideal for those who prefer to make independent pre- and post-cruise travel arrangements. Our new Port-to-Port Prepaid offer, which is paid in full in advance and non-refundable, allows for even greater savings – up to 20% vs. Port-to-Port – on select itineraries. These fares will expire on 31 May 2023.

Warm regards,

Once-in-a-lifetime polar adventures
Ice. From glaciers and icebergs to pack ice, bergy bits, and ice floes, ice in all its formations has long captivated the curiosity of mankind. Advancing and retreating; calving and drifting… ice continues to fascinate, intrigue, and mesmerise. Making it even more beguiling is the fact that some of the most magnificent wildlife on Earth makes their home on ice or in its surrounding waters – penguins marching in Antarctica, polar bears on the hunt in the Arctic, seals cavorting, whales breaching, and birds of all kinds nesting on steep fjord-cliffs.
No one gets you closer to the majesty, marvel, and mythical wonders of ice than Silversea Expeditions. On immersive, all-inclusive voyages to the world’s ice-capped polar realms, our sophisticated, ice-class vessels take you deeper into these remote destinations in extraordinary comfort and unparalleled luxury.
Come with us to discover the authentic beauty of the Antarctic Peninsula, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia. Journey north to explore Iceland, Svalbard, Greenland, and the Canadian High Arctic. Choose to navigate a single area in-depth, or find an itinerary that combines two or more of these fabled destinations. Regardless of where your inner explorer leads you, you’ll be hosted by the most experienced Expedition Teams at sea, and attended to with Silversea’s genuinely warm hospitality.
Whilst a polar expedition can most certainly be described as breathtaking, aweinspiring, and transformative, words fail to convey the power, the magnitude, and personal emotion felt when travelling to the edge of the planet… for these lands, and all their ice, must be experienced first-hand to truly grasp that connection that will be uniquely and deeply your own. #ThisIsSilversea
THERE’S NO BEATEN PATH HERE
Silversea Expeditions leads the way for those with a pioneering spirit and a taste for luxury, leaving ordinary in their wake.

Wherever “here” is for your inner explorer, Silversea will take you there.
Follow your curiosity, create your own path, and further your discoveries in bespoke luxury with Silversea Expeditions.
THE SILVERSEA DIFFERENCE
Innovative leadership
Since 1994, Silversea has been the definitive leader in ultra-luxury cruising. Our unmatched all-inclusive fares and small, all-suite ships were industry game-changers; in fact, our unique brand of immersive luxury travel proved so successful that competitors attempted to emulate our vision. But a leader always looks forward.
And so it was with bold innovation and a passion for extreme discovery that Silversea Expeditions was founded in 2008 as the world’s first ultra-luxury expedition line. Fifteen years later, our ice-class expedition ships remain the only all-suite, all butler-serviced, and truly all-inclusive expedition fleet dedicated to revealing the world’s authentic beauty in extraordinary comfort.
From the moment you are welcomed aboard a Silversea expedition ship, your journey unfolds with a quiet perfection that is both unseen and flawless. Wake each day to extraordinary new vistas and allow our expert staff to assist with your preparations for the adventures that lie ahead. Return to your ship eager to share stories of discovery over exquisitely prepared meals served in as many as four unique restaurants. Fall into a deep slumber in the sublime comfort of your suite, dreaming of the rare discoveries tomorrow promises to bring.
ALL-SUITE ACCOMMODATION
Enjoy one of the highest space-per-guest ratios at sea and the pleasures of finely appointed suites featuring ocean views and sophisticated amenities.
PERSONALISED SERVICE
Let our butlers indulge you – seeing to everything from unpacking luggage and serving breakfast on your private veranda, to handling laundry requests and shining your shoes before dinner.
DESIGNED FOR DISCOVERY
The small size of our all-suite expedition ships — hosting just 144 to 274 guests — allows us to sail into the heart of polar regions where larger ships simply cannot go.
INCLUDED SHORE EXCURSIONS
Expert-led daily briefings on board set the stage for Zodiac landings, kayaking adventures, and excursions ashore – all included on every Expedition voyage.
Travel in the utmost luxury and comfort on voyages to the farthest reaches of Earth.
TRAVEL DEEPER
Up-close and personal
EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE
Silversea has been exploring the world's most distant and isolated regions longer than any other luxury line, with unmatched expedition expertise. Not only are our ships ideally designed for intimate explorations of truly remote lands, but our established relationships in even the most far-flung destinations –together with our experienced Expedition Team – means that we can reveal the world’s best-kept secrets with uncommon insight.
INSIDER INSIGHTS & IMMERSIVE DISCOVERIES
A Silversea expedition invites you to step away from the shallow and the commonplace and plunge with us into the depth and breadth of each destination. On every voyage, you’ll enjoy uncommon access and an insightful understanding of each locale. All excursions are inclusive, and all hosted by our passionate and worldly Expedition Team members.
DIVERSE ITINERARIES
Pole to pole, our sophisticated ice-class ships offer myriad itineraries appealing to every schedule and inclination for adventure. Consider skipping the Drake Passage and fly to King George Island from Punta Arenas to meet your ship for a six-day expedition on the Antarctic Peninsula. For a more immersive experience, spend 20 days navigating the Chilean Fjords and the White Continent. In the Arctic, expeditions to Svalbard, Iceland, and Greenland range from nine to 16 days, or embark on a singular 24-day Northwest Passage affording a chance to transit the Canadian High Arctic.
Regardless of where and how you prefer to explore the world’s polar realms, Silversea Expeditions has the perfect itinerary for you.
TENURED EXPERTISE
An Expedition Team with unmatched experience
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.
COMBRINK — Sr. Vice President of Expeditions, Destination and Itinerary ManagementITINERARY-SPECIFIC EXPERTISE
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.
ZODIAC CRUISING
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.
GROUP HIKES
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?
ACTIVE KAYAKING
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.
ADVANCED LECTURES
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.

Silver Endeavour Redefines Polar Cruise Luxury
by David SwansonCaviar 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. If you want to live this dream and many others go to page 24.
Discover more about the destinations you love on discover.silversea.com
No need to wait for embarkation. You can ‘begin’ your Silversea voyage today with a dose of destination inspiration from our Discover travel blog –an extensive library of first-person articles, photosets from around the world, engaging podcasts, and behind-the-scenes videos shot by iconic photographer Steve McCurry. No matter where your plans for global wanderlust lead, chances are good the blog’s authentically chronicled dispatches will kindle your sense of anticipation.
THE ARCTIC
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.
REGIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
• Prepare for 1-2 landings per day on every expedition, regardless of itinerary, weather permitting
• Choose from a varied collection of itineraries, either country specific or a combination of two
• Explore South Greenland’s dramatic Prince Christian Sound
• Cruise through famous skyscraper-sized icebergs in Ilulissat
• Kayak in the polar landscape of Svalbard
• Get closer by Zodiac to the seabird cliffs of Norway’s Bear Island

PRE & POST LAND ADVENTURES
GOLDEN CIRCLE & BLUE LAGOON
4 days / 3 nights from Reykjavík
Depart Reykjavík by comfortable ground transport for a multi-day immersion in Iceland’s fabled “Big Three” attractions – thundering Gullfoss Waterfall, steamy Geysir Geothermal Area, and mossy Thingvellir National Park. And, as if that range of natural wonders wasn’t sufficiently impressive, traverse the surreal landscape of Reykjanes Peninsula for a relaxing soak in the Blue Lagoon – a brilliantly azure geothermal spa celebrated for its healing properties.
SVALBARD & ICELAND
Polar bears and geothermal wonders
From the Land of Fire and Ice to the Land of the Polar Bear, as Iceland and Svalbard are known respectively, Europe’s last great wildernesses await your discovery. 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.

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.
