Silversea Expeditions take you to the ends of the earth, rarely visited before and provides you with awe-inspiring, thrilling and humbling experiences. It is quite simply unlike any other form of travel, taking you to the remotest of places and showing them to you intimately.
Silversea’s three expedition ships are perfectly designed for this type of adventure having smaller capacity and have a favourable crew to guest ratio. This allows all of Silversea’s expert service to shine through within this incredible Expedition offering too.

Health and well-being remain a priority for Silversea onboard their expedition ships so you’ll find various services to support this. From healthy and nutritious dining to spa facilities to fitness centres, the opportunities to maintain your health whilst onboard an expedition cruise are broad.

In addition to Silversea’s social responsibility work in the Maruzza Foundation, the Silversea Expeditions ships work that bit harder to protect the environments they enter too. The newest addition to the fleet, Silver Origin, is specially designed to be sustainable protecting the sea life below its decks and reducing the plastic use onboard. It also works to reduce their carbon footprint by having a water purification system in the suites and has an advanced propulsion system to minimise the use of fossil fuels.
By implementing practices such as these, Silversea aims to minimise the impact on the environment in order that these natural wonders can be enjoyed for years to come.
