Antarctica Cruises
Silver Cloud Expedition
The most luxurious way to discover Antarctica
After a sophisticated conversion that essentially makes her a brand-new ship, the Silver Cloud Expedition cruises the oceans of the world as one its most luxurious expedition vessels in its class with an unmatched crew to passenger ratio.
Suites range in size from a comfortable 22m2 to a sprawling 122m2, all of which feature butler service to help you unpack and plan your daily adventures. Four out five suites include a veranda, meaning you can watch a breaching whale or a few cavorting penguins without leaving your room.
Guest space is limited to just 200 passengers in polar waters, meaning that with her 18 zodiacs and a team of 19 handpicked passionate and dedicated experts – including marine biologists, geologists and ornithologists – shore excursions are shared in small groups of no more than 14 people.
There are five on board dining options, with fine dining at Champagne to pasta in Le Terrazza, convivial meals in the Main Restaurant, eating out under stars at the Hot Rocks grill or private dining in your cabin. Also on board is a state of the art lecture theatre (lectures can also be live-streamed to your suite), library and spa while broad sweeping decks with multiple open spaces and a swimming pool complete this distinctive expedition vessel.

Places to combine Silver Cloud Expedition with
Antarctica Cruises
Purpose-built for modern exploration, World Voyager is a sleek expedition cruise designed to journey deep into Antarctica in comfort, safety and style. Every detail aboard reflects a profound commitment to discovery and learning.
The cruise accommodates 168 guests across 84 well-appointed cabins, most with walk-out balconies. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer uninterrupted views of drifting icebergs, remote coastlines and wildlife in its natural habitat. At the cruise’s science hub, engage with resident scientists and expedition guides as part of the vessel’s onboard enrichment programme. Beyond exploration, World Voyager is a sanctuary of wellbeing. Unwind in the sauna as snow flurries dance against the glass. Sink into one of two jacuzzis under open skies, or book a treatment at the spa, where L’Occitane products enhance a menu of massages, facials and body therapies. A fully equipped fitness centre and an outdoor running track provide opportunities to stay active amidst the breathtaking surroundings.
The main restaurant serves menus inspired by global cuisine. Breakfasts and lunches are often presented buffet-style, while dinner is plated and served à la carte, with dishes prepared fresh to order. In the evenings, the well-stocked bar becomes a convivial space to share stories with fellow travellers and expedition leaders over carefully selected wines and cocktails.
The auditorium serves as the main venue for expert-led lectures, films and educational briefings. Meanwhile outside, the observation platforms are accessible whenever conditions allow, making it easy to spot whales, seabirds or ice formations with the help of onboard guides.
