Silver Wind Expedition · Antarktis

Discovering Antarctic Wonders

9 nights · 20. October - 29. October 2026 · Puerto Williams → King George Island

Discover the voyage

Nine nights take Silver Wind from Puerto Williams across the Drake Passage to the Antarctic Peninsula, ending at King George Island. The one-way design saves a second Drake crossing and ends with a flight out from King George Island. In early summer the penguin breeding cycle is under way and ice still lies thicker in the bays. Silver Wind Expedition is ice-strengthened to 1A Super and works within the IAATO landing limits.

Puerto Williams

DSC2419-Edit

Puerto Williams on Navarino Island is considered the southernmost town in the world and sits on the Beagle Channel with views of the Cordillera Darwin. The small Chilean town is a starting point for tours to Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn.

Leg 2 · Fri, 23.10.

Antarctic Sound

SMA Ski

The Antarctic Sound opens the view onto the Antarctic Peninsula and is known for vast tabular icebergs drifting from here into the Atlantic. Whales, seals and penguin colonies are ever-present in this icy landscape.

Leg 3 · Sat, 24.10.

Antarctic Peninsula

The Antarctic Peninsula is the heart of every Antarctic voyage: glaciers calve directly into the sea, humpback whales swim between drifting ice floes, penguin colonies of tens of thousands populate the rocky shores. Zodiac excursions take you right up to ice walls and sleeping seals.

Leg 4 · Tue, 27.10.

South Shetland Islands

The South Shetland Islands are an Antarctic archipelago with active volcanism, vast penguin colonies and international research stations. Deception Island with its volcanic crater harbour is one of the most impressive landings in Antarctica.

Leg 5 · Wed, 28.10. · Disembarkation

King George Island

King George Island is the largest of the South Shetland Islands and home to several international research stations. Colonies of gentoo and chinstrap penguins and leopard seals share the island with scientists from around the world.
