With a fleet of three purpose-built expedition ships that sail from pole to pole, you can explore much of the unknown world with Silversea — and all while enjoying the signature distinctions that have made Silversea the icon in luxury travel.

All suites and staterooms are ocean-view, many with private verandas and butler service for all suites.
