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.

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.
