Silversea
Expeditions

Silversea Expeditions is the ultra-luxury expedition cruise division of Silversea, operating intimate, all-suite, ice-class or region-specialist ships that are designed to take travellers to remote and wild corners of the world. Their fleet includes four stunning purpose-built ships: Silver Endeavour, Silver Cloud, Silver Wind, Silver Origin. Each ship is equipped for comfort and rigorous conditions and staffed with expert Expedition Teams comprising naturalists, historians, biologists and other specialists.

Silversea Expeditions offer a combination of expedition adventure plus ultra-luxury service. Guests can expect all-suite accommodations with butler service, lavish dining, multiple public venues (lounges, observation areas, spa etc.) and an all-inclusive model that often includes meals, drinks, gratuities, shore excursions and expedition gear. The Silversea Expedition Team adds depth: with up to ~28 experts onboard depending on the voyage, they provide lectures, briefings, guided hikes, Zodiac cruises, and workshops. Their ships are small enough to feel intimate, yet sophisticated enough for high comfort, allowing access to remote regions where larger cruise ships cannot go.
