JUST THE FACTS

Silversea offers all-inclusive trips to Antarctica aboard several of its small luxury ships. Expedition cruisers eager to weather the Drake Passage can sail from (and back to) Puerto Williams, Chile. Travellers wanting a shortcut can opt for an “Antarctica Bridge” route, with a two-hour charter flight bringing you to King George Island and back.

Rates vary (according to cruise duration and itinerary), but a 10-day, door-to-door expedition cruise aboard the Silver Cloud departing November 2024 would start at $14,800 per guest (economy flights included).
