Cruise Destination

Elephant Island

Elephant Island, a remote and icy outpost in the South Shetland Islands, is famous for its role in Sir Ernest Shackleton’s legendary Antarctic expedition. In 1916, Shackleton’s crew took refuge on its harsh, windswept shores after their ship, Endurance, was crushed by ice. The island is mostly covered in glaciers and has no permanent human inhabitants, but it is home to seals, penguins, and seabirds. Despite its extreme conditions, Elephant Island remains a significant historical and wildlife site, visited mainly by expedition cruises.

Puerto Williams - Chile Silversea - Silver Endeavour, Silver Cloud
18 Night Antarctic Cruise with Silversea on the Silver Cloud Expedition from Puerto Williams, return. Ship Highlights Personalized service – the best crew-to-guest ratio in expedition cruising Open-seating dining options – dine when and with whomever you please Enrichment lectures by a highly qualified Expeditions Team Guided Zodiac, land and sea tours, and shoreside activities led by the Expeditions Team After an extensive refurbishment, your favourite ship will be the most luxurious ice class vessel in expedition cruising. Her service and space ratios will be the highest in expedition cruising. And she’ll boast more dining options than any other ice-class ship to the White Continent. Along with panoramic public rooms and broad, sweeping decks, almost all suites will include verandas so that a breaching whale or a few cavorting penguins are always within sight. With her ice-strengthened hull, she will easily maneuver through the ice flows. Her limited capacity is only at 260 guests to a maximum of 200 in polar waters. That’s important, since crowds reduce the number of landings permitted in these fragile environments. And with her 18 new state-of-the-art Zodiacs, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for exploring the wonders ashore.
