Silversea enhances its Antarctic offering
In response to strong demand, Silversea is enhancing its industry-leading all-inclusive polar offering by adding three new “Antarctica Bridge” voyages for the 2023-2024 season.
The seamless cruise program provides the fastest and most direct route to Antarctica, allowing travelers to fly over the Drake Channel in business-class comfort.

“In response to exceptional demand, we have added three new fly-cruise voyages aboard Silver Cloud for 2024, enhancing our industry-leading offering in Antarctica and strengthening our destination leadership,” said Roberto Martinoli, Silversea President and CEO. “We offer guests the luxury of choice, with the most diverse offering of ultra-luxury cruises in Antarctica. Our pioneering Antarctica Bridge option is extremely popular with time-conscious travelers who prefer to experience the White Continent without crossing the Drake Channel.”
New offerings have been added to Silversea’s existing offerings for 2022 and 2023, so guests can now choose from two new five-day expeditions aboard Silver Cloud, departing February 2 and 7, 2024, as well as a six-day expedition departing February 12, 2024.
After landing at Chile’s Eduardo Frei Montalva Air Base on King George Island, Silver Cloud guests will spend time exploring Antarctica as on the cruise line’s conventional itineraries. They will travel deep to destinations such as Antartic Sound, the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands before returning to King George Island.
