Silversea owns 3 Antarctic expedition ships, the Silver Wind, Silver Cloud and Silver Endeavour. Silversea is one of the few shipping companies to offer expeditions from King George Island, saving you the journey through the sometimes rough Drake Passage between Antarctica and South America. This shortens the journey to 6 days and the charter flight is of course included. The 3 ships have a capacity of 220 to 274 guests and almost as many crew members are on board. No compromises are made here when it comes to luxury and the newest ship, the Silver Endeavour, sets the bar extremely high. In true Silversea style, the expeditions are also all-inclusive and everything is included in the price from Santiago onwards. The onboard language is English.
Our conclusion on the Antarctic expeditions with the Silversea ships
Pure luxury and comfort! A crew-to-guest ratio of almost 1:1 leaves nothing to be desired on board. And a route that does not include a voyage through the Drake Passage.

Silver Wind
Since an extensive refurbishment in December 2018, Silver Wind looks better than ever. In a second refurbishment in November 2021, she was also given an even stronger hull and upgraded to ice class, making her one of the most adaptable ships in the Silversea fleet. Still timelessly elegant, still luxuriously relaxed, her enhanced travel flexibility allows her to glide with fluid ease from the polar regions at the end of the world to the legendary ports of the Mediterranean.
