Silversea’s Silver Endeavour — the world’s most luxurious expedition ship — has returned to the U.K. ahead of its 2025 Northern Europe & British Isles and Arctic & Greenland seasons, calling in Portsmouth today before departing on a 10-day voyage to the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly, and Scottish islands.
Silver Endeavour’s immersive itineraries and unique expedition offering promise the highest levels of discovery and comfort. The ship will complete three expeditions across the British Isles & Northern Europe, before undertaking seven sailings in the Arctic & Greenland, taking in scenic coastlines, ice-capped landscapes, and remote communities.
From remote Scottish islands and Icelandic fjords to lesser-known harbours along the rugged Irish coast and beyond, these itineraries will immerse travellers into each destination, connecting them with history, culture, and natural beauty – often in regions and ports that only smaller ships can reach.
From October 26th, 2025, Silver Endeavour will host guests on Silversea’s Antarctica Fly Cruise sailings, offering travellers the chance to seamlessly visit the continent by flying directly to King George Island.
Set to open during the 2025/2026 Antarctica season, Silversea’s new 150-guest hotel in Puerto Williams, named The Cormorant at 55 South, will enhance the company’s leading polar offering by facilitating a uniquely frictionless journey to Antarctica, allowing guests to enjoy Silversea’s personalised service and warm hospitality throughout their entire experience.
