In responding to strong demand, Silversea is adding three new Antarctica Bridge voyages for the 2023-2024 season.
The fly-cruise programme provides the fastest, most direct route to Antarctica by enabling travellers to fly over the Drake Passage in business-class comfort.
The programme is fully equipped with three ice-class ships, a broad array of voyage lengths, and fly-cruise options.
Roberto Martinoli, Silversea’s President and CEO said: “In response to exceptional demand, we have added three new fly-cruise voyages aboard Silver Cloud®for 2024, enhancing our industry-leading Antarctica offering and strengthening our destination leadership.
“We offer guests the luxury of choice, with the most diverse offering in ultra-luxury Antarctica cruising.
“Our pioneering Antarctica Bridge option is tremendously popular with time-conscious travellers who prefer to experience the White Continent without crossing the Drake Passage.”
Guests may select from two new five-day expedition voyages aboard Silver Cloud, departing February 2 and 7, 2024, as well as a 6-day sailing departing February 12, 2024.
A highly experienced Expedition Team will guide Zodiac tours, kayaking adventures, and explorations ashore, as well as provide lectures on the region’s fascinating geology, wildlife, and history.
