The Far North
A wilderness shaped by ice and ocean.
The Arctic is vast, varied and constantly changing. Immense glaciers meet the sea, fjords cut deep into mountainous coastlines and icebergs drift through waters rich with wildlife.
Expedition days may include Zodiac exploration, guided hikes, visits to remote communities and patient searches for whales, walruses, seals, seabirds and polar bears.
Travelling with Silversea combines this genuine sense of discovery with beautifully designed accommodation, expert guidance and an exceptional standard of onboard hospitality.
