A journey to the ends of the earth in luxurious style

With David Attenborough’s new nature documentary series Frozen Planet having just begun airing on BBC, the Polar Regions are very much the destinations of the moment. Silversea Expeditions have been operating to both the Poles since Silver Explorer entered service in 2008 and will be operating an extensive programme again in 2012.

From itineraries that cross the Arctic Circle in search of elusive polar bears, to voyages that explore Antarctica at the bottom of the world, Silversea has combined true expedition cruising with the most elegant of shipboard lifestyles. As one of only 132 guests, your guests will not only enjoy day after day of remarkable wildlife and cultural encounters, but also the many pampering indulgences of Silversea’s trademark all-inclusive amenities. 

Silversea’s purpose-built Silver Explorer expedition ship (formerly the Prince Albert II) has been designed as the only true luxury expedition vessel, specifically for navigating waters in some of the world’s most remote destinations, including both of the earth’s polar regions. A strengthened hull with a Lloyd’s Register ice-class notation (1A) for passenger vessels enablesSilver Explorer to safely push through ice floes with ease, while a fleet of Zodiac boats allows Silversea Expedition guests to visit even the most off-the-beaten path locations. Complimentary adventures ashore are guided by Silversea’s team of expert naturalists and limited to small groups for an intimate, uniquely personal experience of the destination.
