Extending from 21 November 2022, to 14 March 2023, Silver Endeavour’s inaugural season will comprise a dozen voyages:
10 Antarctica Bridge Fly-Cruise Voyages
Silver Endeavour will welcome guests on 10 Antarctica Bridge fly-cruise sailings, including her maiden voyage. Offering the fastest, most direct route to the White Continent, Silversea’s Antarctica Bridge enables travellers to skip the Drake Passage, flying directly to King George Island in European business-class comfort to embark the ship. Travellers will journey deep into Antarctica on voyages between five and nine days, exploring destinations such as the Antarctic Peninsula, the Antarctic Sound, and the South Shetland Islands.
Deep South Antarctic Expedition
Departing round-trip from Puerto Williams on 12 February 2023, Silver Endeavour will journey to the South Shetland Islands, the Antarctic Sound, and the Antarctic Peninsula, before attempting to cross the 69th parallel south on Silversea’s first-ever 20-day ‘Deep South’ expedition. Facilitated by the ship’s PC6 ice class rating – among the highest of any expedition ship – and her cutting-edge navigation and exploration technology, the sailing will offer travellers the opportunity to access some of the world’s most remote and extreme destinations, exploring Antarctica first-hand, and witnessing the continent’s rare wildlife and unique landscapes.
New 10-day Antarctic Peninsula Voyage
Concluding Silver Endeavour’s inaugural season in Antarctica, guests will set sail on a brand new 10-day voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula, departing round-trip from Puerto Williams on 4 March 2023. Spending six days exploring the peninsula during this variation of Silversea’s iconic peninsula voyages, travellers are likely to see penguin colonies, as well as various other bird species; different seal species; and other marine life. Silver Endeavour’s amenities will enhance the experience for guests with her remote gimbal camera system, her remotely operated underwater vehicle, and her industry-leading expert- and Zodiac-to-guest ratios.
