September 23, 2022

Silversea’s newest ship, Silver Endeavour, will set out on its inaugural voyage to Antarctica on November 21, 2022, sailing roundtrip from King George Island. The ship will have an expert lineup of speakers to enhance the guests’ journey, with historians, marine biologists, anthropologists, naturalists, filmmakers, and more onboard.

Guests can attend informative lectures, workshops, and excursions as they journey into the White Continent.

Conrad Combrink—Silversea’s SVP Expedition, Destination, and Itinerary Management—will accompany travelers on the seven-day fly-cruise sailing to celebrate the milestone.

“The world’s most luxurious expedition vessel, Silver Endeavour has broadened Silversea’s polar offering—the most diverse in ultra-luxury expedition cruising—to unlock all-new experiences for guests,” said Conrad Combrink. “Marking my 78th journey to the continent, I am excited to accompany our guests as we fly on an exclusive, Silversea-curated, chartered DAP Antarctic Airways flight directly into Antarctica, embarking on Silver Endeavour at King George Island, before spending seven days discovering this frozen world. Our industry-leading expedition team will design an exceptional line-up of experiences to showcase the very best of the continent’s icy landscapes and captivating wildlife during Silver Endeavour’s inaugural season, while Captain Niklas Peterstam and his crew will ensure an exceptional service throughout—having served aboard the ship since September 2021.”

THE WHITE CONTINENT VIA ANTARCTICA BRIDGE

Guests who book this ultra-luxury inaugural voyage of Silver Endeavour will fly directly to Antarctica in European business-class comfort through Antarctica Bridge, the cruise line’s fly-cruise offering.

Destinations that guests might experience include the Antarctic Sound, where towering ice formations may greet travelers as they approach the northernmost point of the Antarctic Peninsula.

They will have the opportunity to explore the landscape with hiking excursions, Zodiac tours, and kayaking, hosted by the expedition team. They’ll see vast penguin colonies and other wildlife species, including whales, various other bird species, and seals.

As famous explorers have done in the past, Silversea plans to stop in the South Shetland Islands before returning to King George Island, where guests will board a flight back to Punta Arenas.
