25 New voyages, 116 Destinations, 24 maiden calls
Silver Endeavour’s new voyage collection will feature 25 immersive expedition voyages, ranging in length from six to 18 days. With her PC6 classification, Silver Endeavour will journey deep into to the Polar Regions, extending the season to unlock unprecedented access to 116 destinations in some of the most remote regions of the world. The new voyages will incorporate 24 maiden calls, including the rarely explored Canadian High Arctic, including Hudson Bay, and the spectacular Ellesmere Island.
Silver Endeavour will spend summer 2023 exploring the British Isles, Iceland, and the Arctic—including Greenland, Svalbard, and the Canadian Arctic. She will then journey south, returning to the White Continent in winter 2023/2024 to offer guests even more opportunities to discover the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands. Silver Endeavour’s new 2023/2024 voyage collection includes the following highlights:
Two Voyages to the British Isles & Iceland
Departing from London on 7 May 2023, Silver Endeavour will undertake two British Isles and Iceland expeditions of 13 and 14 days. The voyages will include brand new calls in destinations like Stranraer, Helensburgh, Loch Eynort (Uist Island), and Klaksvik.
Nine Voyages to the Arctic & Greenland
Silver Endeavour’s inaugural season in the Arctic will feature two of Silversea’s iconic 14-day Iceland and Svalbard expeditions, departing 3 June from Reykjavik and 17 June from Tromsø. Silver Endeavour will offer three expeditions to South Greenland and Nunavut, Canada, exploring scenic regions in Skjoldungen, Evighedsfjord, Prince Christian Sound, and more. Departing 31 July 2023, guests travelling aboard Silver Endeavour will explore West Greenland on a 10-day expedition, immersing in the culture and tradition of the Inuit and Greenlandic communities, and witnessing one of the world’s fastest-moving glaciers at Ilulissat Icefjord—a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
On 10 August, 2023, Silver Endeavour will sail from the hamlet of Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet) at the northern tip of Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada, on a 10-day journey through the Canadian High Arctic, exploring the seldom-seen shores of Ellesmere Island, Cape York, and Qaanaaq, among other cultural and natural treasures in the region. Departing from Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet), guests aboard this unique journey will enjoy enhanced onboard enrichments and programming. Rounding out her summer season, Silver Endeavour will undertake a 16-day expedition through East Greenland from 5 September 2023, searching for the perfect conditions for guests to view the Northern Lights.
Guests will enjoy an extended three-day stay in Scoresby Sund, one of the world’s largest and longest fjord systems, and a visit to the world’s largest and rarely visited national park, the Northeast Greenland National Park. Guests will have the opportunity to combine five of Silver Endeavour’s Arctic voyages to discover the best of the region over 82 days, beginning and ending in Reykjavik from July 1 to September 21, 2023.
14 Voyages to Antarctica
During the winter 2023/2024 season, Silver Endeavour will offer nine of Silversea’s popular six-day Antarctica Bridge fly-cruises. Offering the fastest, most direct route to the White Continent, Silversea’s Antarctica Bridge enables travellers to skip the Drake Passage, flying directly to King George Island in European business-class comfort to embark the ship. Silver Endeavour will also offer two departures of Silversea’s iconic 10-day Antarctic Peninsula expedition, with the objective of exploring the South Shetland Islands, the Antarctic Sound, and the fabled Cape Horn.
Enabled by the ship’s PC6 classification, Silver Endeavour will journey deeper into Antarctica with longer explorations, including an 18-day voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands. Departing on October 31, 2023, this extended expedition will allow guests the opportunity to combine the beauty of the Antarctic Peninsula with the awe-inspiring wildlife and natural history of South Georgia and the Falkland Islands. In 2024, Silver Endeavour will also sail two brand new 15- and 16-day expeditions, departing 28 January and 12 February, respectively, exploring the Antarctic Peninsula, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia. With an inbound/outbound flight between King George Island and Puerto Williams, guests on these two voyages will cross the Drake Passage only once.
