Let’s dive into what makes Silversea Expedition Cruises stand out, focusing on their ships, features, and incredible offerings in destinations like Antarctica, the polar regions, Australia, and the Galapagos Islands.
Silver Endeavour: A Masterpiece of Exploration
Built: 2021
Guest Capacity: 220
Crew Capacity: 207
Zodiacs: Equipped with a full fleet for unparalleled exploration, quick deploy
Silver Endeavour represents the pinnacle of luxury and innovation and is the most modern and efficient Silversea expedition vessel.. With a PC6 ice-class rating, this ship is engineered for polar exploration, offering guests an extraordinary way to experience the majestic landscapes of Antarctica and the Arctic. Each suite includes a private balcony, and guests can enjoy multiple dining venues and spacious public areas. Prince Adventures can help you book Silver Endeavour’s itineraries, including fly-cruise options to skip the Drake Passage and maximize your time in Antarctica. While skipping the Drake passage is fast, many consider it a right of passage, so let us ask you questions to determine if cruising the Drake or flying the Drake is right for you.
Silver Cloud: Iconic Luxury Meets Adventure
Built: 1994 (Refurbished in 2017)
Guest Capacity: 254
Crew Capacity: 212
Zodiacs: 20
Silver Cloud is designed for versatility, with an ice-strengthened hull that allows it to seamlessly transition between polar and tropical waters. We’ve sailed on the Cloud in 2024 when we did some coastal exploration of Southern Africa. The Cloud features 80% balcony suites, four dining options, and 10 kayaks for those who want an even closer connection to nature. Whether exploring the Antarctic Peninsula or the rugged Kimberley coastline in Australia, Silver Cloud offers exceptional comfort and adventure. However, we would note this ship is older, finishes are more traditional and not modern. While it’s clean and in good repair with great staff, this ship has the appearance of a classic cruise, not a modern expedition vessel.
Silver Wind: Blending Classic Elegance with Expedition
Built: 1995 (Converted to expedition ship in 2021)
Guest Capacity: 274
Crew Capacity: 239
Zodiacs: Equipped with a full fleet
Silver Wind has been reimagined as a luxury expedition vessel with an ice-class hull for polar exploration. From navigating the pristine waters of Antarctica to uncovering hidden treasures along Australia’s coastline, this ship delivers a refined yet adventurous experience.
Silver Explorer: Intimate Journeys in Remote Lands
Built: 1989 (Acquired by Silversea in 2007)
Guest Capacity: 144
Crew Capacity: 118
Zodiacs: Fully equipped
Silver Explorer specializes in taking guests to some of the most remote destinations on Earth. With its intimate size and expert expedition team, this ship offers unique itineraries in the polar regions and beyond. Whether it’s cod fishing in the Arctic or kayaking alongside icebergs, Silver Explorer ensures every moment is unforgettable.
Silver Origin: Exclusive Adventures in the Galapagos
Built: 2020
Guest Capacity: 100
Crew Capacity: 90
Zodiacs: 8
For those dreaming of exploring the Galapagos Islands, Silver Origin is the ultimate choice. Specifically designed for this region, the ship offers spacious suites, Ecuadorian-inspired cuisine, and expert-led excursions to discover the incredible biodiversity of the Galapagos. Its small size allows for intimate adventures, ensuring a deep connection to this unique destination. Prince Adventures is your go-to travel agency for planning an unforgettable journey aboard Silver Origin. We find any expedition to Galapagos to be best in smaller ships. If 100 guests feels like a lot to you in this destination (it does to us for some travellers) ask us for a different recommendation.
