Once you’ve reached The White Continent, spend your days traveling by Zodiac, listening to the crash of ice as it breaks off millennial glaciers or watching as humpback whales spy hop from the frosty waters to introduce themselves. Or, under the guidance of certified kayak instructors, perhaps you’ll choose to slip into a kayak and float alongside a glacier in total silence, kept company by always-curious leopard seals gliding alongside.

With Silversea, experience an adventure so far off the beaten track, there is no track. Their fleet of intimate and luxuriously appointed expedition ships mean you can travel into unforgiving landscapes without sacrificing comfort; in fact, they’ve turned luxury all-inclusive cruising to Antarctica into an art form.
