ITINERARY
VOYAGE NUMBER WI260111006
Day 1: Santiago, Chile
When you arrive in Santiago, Chile, make your own way to the included
pre-night luxury hotel (Ritz Carlton Santiago or a similar luxury
hotel) in the heart of the city. Visit the Silversea hospitality desk
located at your hotel where you will receive the departure information
for the following day’s flight to Punta Arenas. Enjoy the
evening in Santiago on your own.
Day 2: Punta Arenas, Chile
In the morning, breakfast will be served before you are transferred to
the charter flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas. Here you will be
greeted and transferred to your Punta Arena hotel where guests will be
briefed and will receive the complimentary gear provided for the
expedition. Enjoy the evening in Punta Arena on your own or take an
optional excursion.
Day 3: King George Island
You will take a Private Flight in Business Class from Punta Arenas to
King George Island. This 2-hour flight will be in business class with
extra leg room for comfort. Guests will benefit from 23 kilos of
checked luggage, plus a hand luggage allowance of 8 kilos. A regionally
inspired lunch is included. A member of the Silversea Expedition Team
will escort you.
As the largest of all the South Shetland Island, King George is
considered the gateway to Antarctica. At just 120 kilometres from the
Antarctic Peninsula and the only airport in the South Shetlands, it is
the connection between “real life” and
“Antarctic life”. More than 10 different nations
have year-round or summer-only scientific research stations on the
island (considering that 90% of the island is covered by snow and ice,
that is quite an achievement!). Maintaining a base on the island allows
membership of the Antarctic Treaty. There is even a Russian Orthodox
church, with a permanent on-site priest. The island might be home to a
few international scientists, but they are very much outnumbered by the
diverse wildlife that considers King George Island rightfully theirs.
Adelie, Chinstrap and Gentoo Penguins all commute to and from the
Antarctic peninsula from the island, while Weddell and leopard seals
are regular visitors and can be spotted either in the water or on the
shore. Naturally, this brings a huge amount of birdlife: skuas and
southern giant petrels are regular summer residents, attracted by the
warm climate (warm being a relative term, average temperature is
between 1.5 and -6.5 °C). The island was named after King
George III after British explorer discovered it in 1819. Since then the
island has been claimed by both Chile (1940) and Argentina (1943), but
remains part of British Antarctic Territory.
Day 4: Antarctic Sound
Few voyages ignite the imagination like a journey down to one of the
planet’s most remote, extreme and enchanting wilderness,
Antarctica. An adventure in its purest form, only a handful of people
will ever be lucky enough to experience the majestic beauty of these
monochrome landscapes first-hand. The Antarctic Sound will be one of
your first encounters of this whitewash kingdom, located at the
northerly tip of the Antarctic Peninsula - which sprawls up like a
tentacle towards Tierra del Fuego, South America’s most
southerly point, otherwise known as the ‘End of the
World’. Taking its name from the first ship to brave the
passageway between the peninsular and the Joinville Island groups back
in 1902, the Sound is a raw, sensory assault of imposing iceberg slabs,
broken away from the disintegrating Larsen Ice Shelf. Come face-to-face
with stadium-sized islands of ice and meet the extraordinary birdlife
that call this whitewash kingdom home. Watch on, as colonies of Gentoo
penguins hop around, and cape petrels sweep overhead, as the
continent’s unique wildlife thrives around you. If
you’re planning your first venture into Antarctica,
you’ll want to brush up on your photography skills in
advance, to capture this unforgiving continent in all of its
unrestrained glory. Read our blog for tips on how to ensure that your
photos do justice to the adventure of a lifetime.

Days 5-7: Antarctic
Peninsula
The Antarctic Peninsula unravels upwards towards South America,
reaching out a beckoning finger to the adventurous, who dare to explore
this untamed realm. Stretching up from the heart of the
world’s southernmost continent, the Antarctic Peninsula lies
a mere 620 mile from Tierra del Fuego and, for many, offers a
spectacular first taste of the snow-blanketed landscapes and colossal
ice sculptures, which make up Earth’s least-explored
continent. Unseen by humans until 1820 - a blink of an eye ago in
relative terms - this is an adventure sure to make your hairs stand on
end, as you experience the thrill of the truly unknown and
extraordinary. The vast peninsula is sprinkled with research bases,
which are at the frontline of human scientific endeavour, pushing to
study and understand this unique landscape, its exceptional wildlife,
and the impact that humans are having on this pristine continent.
Witness cathedral-sized icebergs up close, and blue-hued glaciers,
slowly slipping from imposing locations like Hope Bay. Blanched
mountain peaks cover the peninsula, and you’ll find thousands
of adorable Adelie penguin pairs thriving undisturbed in this
peninsula’s unique setting.

Day 8: South Shetland
Islands
The ice-coated Antarctic Peninsula forms perhaps the most accessible
region of mainland Antarctica, lying a mere 480-miles away from South
America, across the fabled waters of Drakes Passage. Lying close to the
northwestern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, separated by the
Bransfield Strait, the South Shetland Islands fall under the
jurisdiction of the Antarctic Treaty, suspending claims on their
sovereignty. Several countries maintain research bases here, and with
plump elephant seals, and crowds of Gentoo, Chinstrap and Adelie
Penguins also calling the islands home, it can even feel a little
crowded at times. King George Island is the largest and most hospitable
island, hosting the majority of the research stations - some of which
are populated all-year-round by tiny, hardy crews. Don’t be
fooled though, these islands offer extraordinary adventure in one of
the most remote locations on earth. The triple peaks of Mount Foster
tower above the archipelago, and you’ll feel your heart
pumping a little quicker, as you sail into the core of Deception
Island’s magnificent collapsed volcano caldera. Hike the luna
landscapes within, and even dip into the improbably warm,
geothermally-heated waters of Pendulum Cove. Elephant Island,
meanwhile, is written deep into the annals of Antarctic expedition
legend, as the site where Ernest Shackleton and the stricken crew of
the Endurance miraculously survived a harsh Antarctic winter, in 1916.

find out why many consider the South Shetland Islands to be the jewel
in Antarctica’s Crown, by reading our blog.

Silversea Expedition Team will escort you on this flight and back to
your luxury hotel in Punta Arenas
Day 10: Punta Arenas/
Santiago
In the morning, breakfast will be served before you take the charter
flight from Punta Arenas to Santiago. Arrival at the Santiago airport
is estimated to be late in the afternoon when the Silversea
all-inclusive program ends.
Silver Wind (Luxury Expedition, 298-guests)
Break new waters with Silver Wind. Still timelessly elegant, still luxuriously relaxed, her improved cruising versatility means she is able to whizz from the Polar Regions at the ends of the earth to the iconic ports of the Mediterranean with fluid ease.
