Sailing in the Chilean fjords

Sailing in the Chilean fjords is an unforgettable and awe-inspiring experience that immerses adventurers in the breathtaking beauty of nature's wonders. Located along the southern coast of Chile, these fjords are a maze of deep blue waters, glacier-carved valleys, and towering snow-capped mountains. Navigating through the labyrinth of fjords offers an intimate encounter with pristine landscapes, where dense forests and lush vegetation cling to rugged cliffs. Gliding past massive glaciers that calve into the sea and encountering diverse wildlife, such as whales, dolphins, and seabirds, adds to the allure of this journey. Whether aboard a luxurious cruise or a small expedition vessel, sailing in the Chilean fjords promises unparalleled serenity and an opportunity to connect with the raw and untamed beauty of this remote corner of the world.

Ship's Specifications

Let us take you on a personal journey of discovery. Amid the tranquillity of the sea and the exuberance of distant lands, we will arouse your curiosity and seduce your senses. We will stimulate your imagination and spark new insights. Our aim is to create experiences that will enrich your life for years to come. From the moment you step onboard to the time you say "Arrivederci", our Italian sense of style will shine. The ebullience of our hospitality, the genuine warmth of our service and our evident appreciation of the finer things in life are genial qualities of our founders and owners. They are the principles on which Silversea were founded.

Small is beautiful and bountiful. With fewer guests and a high staff to guest ratio, we can tailor our unobtrusive service to individual needs. And you can join a select on board community of travellers with similar aspirations. The intimate ambience on our shιps has parallels with the atmosphere of a refined club. We are happy to sail against the tide. While most cruise lines build larger and ever-larger ships, we prefer to stay small. In this way we can preserve the special Silversea experience our guests have come to expect ... the intimate ambience, personal service and access to more intriguing secluded ports.

SMALLER GETS YOU CLOSER

Our small ships are agile enough to visit more remote, lesser-known ports and to bring you closer to some of the world's greatest destinations. They can sail up narrow waterways into the heart of a city, they can navigate around tiny islands and they can tie up right at the dock while others must anchor offshore. In the world of upscale cruising, less is more... considerably more, as our seven small ships offer infinite opportunities across all seven continents.
