Overview

The most luxurious expedition ship at sea

Silver Endeavour is described as the most luxurious expedition ship at sea — a purpose-built polar mega-yacht carrying just 220 guests, all-suite and all-balcony, with a near one-to-one crew ratio and a butler in every suite. Its suites are among the most spacious in expedition cruising, from around thirty-three square metres to an Owner's Suite of about a hundred and seventy-four square metres. The Antarctica Bridge fly-cruise lets guests fly from Punta Arenas in Chile over the Drake Passage straight to the Peninsula, skipping the crossing entirely. All-inclusive of charter flights, excursions and premium drinks, the ship carries six dining venues, the highest Zodiac-to-guest ratio in the fleet, kayaks, an ROV and a long-range gimbal camera for views few ever see. Days bring guided landings among penguins, leopard seals and glaciers, the icebergs of the Peninsula filling the balconies, and the deep equipment of a vessel built to go further. Ultra-luxury, deeply equipped, under the Silversea flag.

Accommodation

All-suite, all-balcony

220 guests sail in all-suite, all-balcony cabins across the range, from a roughly thirty-three-square-metre Veranda Suite to an Owner's Suite of about a hundred and seventy-four square metres, each with a butler and a marble bath. Among the most spacious suites in expedition cruising, they make the ship a polar mega-yacht as much as an expedition vessel, the icebergs of the Peninsula framed from every private balcony. The butler service and the near one-to-one crew ratio set the tone, the largest suites adding separate living areas and some of the most generous private balconies at sea.

Food & Drink

Dining

Six dining venues, all included, run from the 192-seat Restaurant to the intimate Italian Il Terrazzino and a bistro and grill of specialty plates and grab-and-go. It is ultra-luxury dining at the ends of the earth, the all-inclusive table as much a part of the voyage as the landings.

Wellbeing

Spa and wellness

A spa and wellness area brings treatments and a fitness suite, joined by a Deck 10 running track and a Mud Room for kitting up before landings. Wellness aboard is built around the expedition, a treatment or a circuit between Zodiac cruises, the Mud Room the threshold between the mega-yacht and the ice. The fitness suite and the Deck 10 running track keep the active set moving on sea days, the Mud Room turning the threshold to the ice into part of the daily rhythm.

Activities & Experiences

Signature Experiences

Zodiacs, kayaks and the option to fly in define a voyage — take the Antarctica Bridge over the Drake from Punta Arenas, land by Zodiac at the highest guest ratio in the fleet, and add kayaking, an ROV and a long-range gimbal camera for unseen polar views. Guided landings among penguins, the glaciers and icebergs of the Peninsula fill the days. The highest Zodiac-to-guest ratio in the fleet means more time on the water and less waiting, and the ROV and long-range camera bring back footage of the ice and the depths few ever witness.
