Silver Wind Expedition · Antarctica

Antarctica and Drake Passage: South Shetland Islands

9 nights · 15. January - 24. January 2027 · King George Island → Puerto Williams

Discover the voyage

Nine nights carry Silver Wind from King George Island across the Peninsula and the Drake Passage back to Puerto Williams. The one-way design with a flight in to King George Island saves the southbound Drake crossing. In the high summer most penguin chicks have hatched and humpback whales are frequent visitors to Wilhelmina Bay. Silver Wind Expedition is ice-strengthened to 1A Super and works with small Zodiac groups under IAATO standards. Butler service, premium wines, Wi-Fi and gratuities are part of the Silversea standard.
