Welcome Aboard. Since the earliest days of sail, there has been something special about travelling by ship.

It may be the magical experience of discovering the world and enjoying the special ambiance of an immaculately run ship that drives everything they do at Silversea Cruises.

Since Silversea’s inception in 1994, they have dedicated themselves to defining the elite luxury experience – going above and beyond to achieve the distinction of being the world’s best. Thoroughly modern ships with every technical innovation; spacious ocean-view suites, with sumptuous furnishings and appointments – most with a private veranda; inspired cuisine and the finest wines and spirits poured with Silversea’s compliments. But it is more than these things that set them apart - it’s an understanding of what it takes to make their guests feel at home and welcome.

Their commitment is always to go above and beyond. Their passion is exceeding your expectations. Their reward is achieving excellence in your eyes.

Historic Day As Silversea Expedition Guests Land On

Point Wild, Elephant Island

26th January 2012, London - The Silver Explorer and Expedition Team accomplished a first in the ship’s history, landing guests at Point Wild, Elephant Island – the location where survivors of the Shackleton Expedition lived under two lifeboats for more than four months while hoping for rescue. 

After attempting to take guests to Elephant Island for nearly 10 years, Silver Explorer’s Captain Alexander Golubev was able to tuck the Silver Explorer into a small and slightly sheltered bay just to the West of Point Wild, due to good weather conditions.

The Expedition team leader, Robin West and his team of nine, including biologists, geologists and an historian,  assisted 120 guests on zodiacs one at a time, to explore this historic place which is one of the most desolate and isolated places in the world.

Guests observed the 100m x 30m strip of land, at low tide, where Shackleton’s determined shipmates made a home during the winter of 1916. The zodiacs also passed through a small channel into West Bay which provided great views of Cape Wild and the Furness Glacier cascading into the ocean, plus meet Chinstrap Penguins and see several male Fur Seals and one Weddell Seal relaxing on an exposed beach platform.

Robin West, Silver Explorer’s Expedition Leader commented: “Landing in the exact same place where Sir Ernest Shackleton stepped ashore nearly 100 years ago, was a truly significant and historic experience not only for Silver Explorer and the Expedition team, but for our guests too. 

‘It is one of the best known stories of early exploration in Antarctica and our guests had the opportunity to be part of this.”

Silver Explorer’s unstructured itinerary to ‘Cruise and Explore the Antarctic Peninsula,’ allows the Captain and the Silversea team to determine the exact itinerary as the voyage progresses, as conditions can vary so much in the Polar Regions.  Both guests and crew can take full advantage of the available conditions to explore as many sights and make as many zodiac excursions and landings as possible.
