Antarctic Sound/Peninsula

Antarctic Sound is a body of water about 30 miles (50 km) long and from 7 to 12 miles (11 to 19 km) wide, separating the Joinville Island group from the northeast end of the Antarctic Peninsula. The sound was named by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld for the expedition ship Antarctic which in 1902, under the command of Carl Anton Larsen, was the first vessel to navigate it.

South Shetland Islands

The South Shetland Islands lie north of the Antarctic Peninsula and form a remote archipelago of great scientific and geopolitical importance. Discovered in the early 19th century, they were soon used as a base for whaling and sealing, while today they host several research stations from different countries. Their climate is cold but relatively milder compared to the Antarctic interior, making them more accessible. The South Shetlands combine wild polar nature, glaciers, and rich marine life, attracting both scientists and travelers seeking the Antarctic experience.

West Point Island

West Point Island is a small island in the northwestern part of the Falkland Islands, known for its striking landscapes and abundant wildlife. Despite its small size, it hosts large colonies of seabirds, such as albatrosses and cormorants, nesting on its steep cliffs. The island’s scenery is marked by green hills, rocky shores, and rich vegetation. West Point attracts visitors interested in birdwatching, hiking, and experiencing a pristine, remote corner of the South Atlantic.

Long used as a base for whaling and for occasional attempts to collect guano. New Island is considered by some to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Falklands archipelago, as well as having possibly the most diverse range of wildlife in the region.

Puerto Williams, Navarino Island, Chile

Puerto Williams is a small Chilean town on Navarino Island in the Beagle Channel, often called the southernmost settlement in the world.

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.
