Silver Cloud is offering new Antarctica fly cruises in 2024

Passengers can choose from two five-day voyages departing February 2 and 7, 2024, respectively or a six-day sailing departing February 12, 2024.

Explained Roberto Martinoli, president and CEO, Silversea Cruises, ‘In response to exceptional demand, we have added three new fly-cruise voyages aboard Silver Cloud for 2024, enhancing our industry-leading Antarctica offering and strengthening our destination leadership…Our pioneering Antarctica Bridge option is tremendously popular with time-conscious travellers who prefer to experience the White Continent without crossing the Drake Passage.’

Itinerary

Passengers will fly the Drake Passage in business-class comfort, landing at Chile's Eduardo Frei Montalva air base on King George Island. They will have the chance to explore Antarctic Sound, the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands before returning to King George Island. 

The line’s expedition team will lead Zodiac-, kayaking- and exploration tours, as well as provide lectures on the region's geology, wildlife and history.

In addition to seeing ice formations and otherworldly landscapes, passengers will visit large penguin rookeries and may see several species of seals, whales and other birds.

2022/23

For sailings that cross the Drake Passage, Silversea recently introduced round-trip voyages to Antarctica from Puerto Williams, Chile.

Owing to cooperation between Chilean authorities and local stakeholders, Silversea passengers will benefit from more convenient flight times, personalised service during a private charter flight and quicker transfers to the ship, on exclusive 2022/23 itineraries departing Puerto Williams onboard Silver Cloud, Silver Wind and Silver Explorer.
