#expeditioncruising .




Silversea Cruises is offering guests the opportunity to discover the heart-stopping landscape of Antarctica aboard three of its luxurious expedition vessels in 2020. Silver Wind, Silver Cloud and Silver Explorer will offer a number of unforgettable voyages, ranging from 10 to 31 days, with all-inclusive fly/cruise package fares starting from AU$14,940 per person including Early Booking Bonus and based on double occupancy in a Vista Suite. Guests can also take advantage of Silversea’s Antarctica all-inclusive offer.


The 2020 season marks Silver Wind’s inaugural arrival in Antarctica and follows an extensive refurbishment scheduled for August 2020. This second refurbishment will see Silver Wind attain her ice-ship classification, a process that will include strengthening her hull, new state-of-the-art equipment for cruising in remote regions, a fleet of Zodiacs® and kayaks for on-water exploration, and an upgraded theatre.

Setting sail from Ushuaia guests will take in an astounding diversity of wildlife on their journey, including sea-lions, seals, dolphins and albatrosses, while on South Shetland Islands, it is possible to encounter breeding penguins including the Chinstrap, Adelie, Gentoo and Macaroni species.

Guests will traverse the Drake Passage as they journey into Antarctica’s vast white wilderness, following a flexible itinerary which will take advantage of favourable sea and weather conditions. In the true spirit of expedition cruising, each day the Expedition Leader and Captain will determine the best course depending on weather, ice conditions and possible wildlife encounters. Possible destinations include: Brown Bluff, Tabrin Peninsula; Paulet Island; Cuverille Island, Errera Channel; Paradise Bay; Petermann Island, Wilhelm Archipelago; Port Foster, Whalers Bay and; Port Lockroy, Goudier Island, before returning back along Drake Passage to Ushuaia.
