Silversea’s newest expedition ship, Silver Endeavour, is set to broaden ultra-luxury travel’s most diverse polar offering by accessing more than 125 of the world’s most remote, extreme destinations through summer 2024 and winter 2024/25 with 27 new voyages that incorporate additional calls to Antarctica and the Arctic, as well as the British Isles and Iceland.
Silver Endeavour’s 27 new voyages, departing between April 2024 and February 2025 feature a varied array of departures, itineraries, and voyage lengths, with sailings ranging from six to 21 days. The new voyage collection includes:
4 voyages to the British Isles and Iceland
In spring 2024, Silver Endeavour will offer a set of voyages that explore the best of the British Isles and Iceland, including two new 14-day itineraries that will unlock the rugged coastlines, wildlife-rich islands, fascinating cultures, and historic sites of interest between London (Greenwich) and Edinburgh (Leith). Silver Endeavour will then set her course for the land of fire and ice – via Guernsey, the Isles of Scilly, the Isle of Man, the Hebrides, and the Isle of Skye, among other spectacular destinations – before venturing on to the Arctic from June 1, 2024.
9 voyages to the Arctic
Departing Reykjavik on June 1, Silver Endeavour will undertake nine voyages to the Arctic throughout the summer season, offering a variety of sailings between 10 and 16 days in length. Providing travellers the chance to experience the great diversity of the region during an extended sailing, several voyages can be combined for a total of 67 days of exploration between July 15 and Sept. 19.
The extended itinerary, between Churchill (Manitoba) and Reykjavik, will incorporate immersive explorations of Greenland and the Canadian High Arctic. Standout experiences of Silver Endeavour’s 2024 Arctic voyages include calls to Hudson Bay and Baffin Island; a voyage to experience the best of the Northwest Passage in just 10 days; a journey to Greenland’s spectacular Disko Bay, including an exploration of the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord; and an exploration of the Northeast Greenland National Park.
14 voyages to Antarctica
Silver Endeavour will return to Antarctica from Oct. 29, 2024, undertaking 14 voyages to the White Continent, with sailings ranging from six to 21 days. Time-pushed travellers can take advantage of Silversea’s Antarctica Bridge offering, flying directly into the continent on European business-class flights to discover the Antarctic Peninsula over just six days. A 15-day sailing from King George Island to Puerto Williams will appeal to those with an interest in travelling deeper. Departing Jan. 6, 2025, the immersive voyage will call in various destinations throughout the Antarctic Peninsula, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia.
