“As part of Silversea Expeditions, I’ve visited more than my share of wild, remote places. But the Arctic with its vast, silent wilderness and awe-inspiring landscapes, keeps me coming back for more.”
CONRAD COMBRINK, SVP EXPEDITIONS, DESTINATION AND ITINERARY MANAGEMENT, SILVERSEA
“Guided by world-class expedition experts, you’ll witness a wildlife spectacle here where polar bears navigate frozen landscapes, seals gracefully traverse icy waters, and vibrant birdlife fills the air, creating a living tapestry of biodiversity.”
BOB SIMPSON, AVP EXPEDITION PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGIC PROJECTS

12 SPECIES OF MARINE FAUNA
Watch out for whales (beluga, bowhead, humpback and killer), ice seals (bearded, ribbon, ringed, spotted, harp and hooded), walruses, harbour porpoise and more.
OVER 1,700 SPECIES OF PLANT
Tundra vegetation features sedges, grasses, dwarf shrubs, wildflowers, mosses and lichens. Discover how the plants developed surprising strategies to survive.
FOLLOW THE FIRST EXPLORATION OF 1906
For centuries, Arctic explorers searched for the Pole and Northwest Passage. Norwegian pioneer Roald Amundsen discovered both; join us as we follow in his wake.
AN ENTIRE POPULATION OF JUST 4 MILLION
The sparse, mainly indigenous communities endure a harsh climate and limited resources, following a traditional lifestyle, all of which shapes their way of life.
A LAND FORMED ALMOST PURELY OF ICE
The Arctic’s ice sheet is a vast expanse of frozen water averaging 2-3 metres in thickness, although this varies greatly. The region is 98% ice, 2% barren rock.
68% OF OUR FRESHWATER IS IN ICE SHEETS
One tenth is in the Greenland Ice Sheet. This means 20% of the world’s freshwater is right here, inside an ice sheet covering a staggering 1.71 million sq km.
SUMMER TEMPERATURES
Arctic temperatures in summer range from around 3°-12°C (37°- 54°F). The weather can change rapidly, with sudden shifts in temperature, wind and visibility.
3 Arctic regions, infinite experiences
Extensive access to the Arctic with pioneering expertise
VENTURE INTO THE SVALBARD ARCHIPELAGO
Welcome to the High Arctic. A deserted, other-worldly archipelago full of rugged mountains, towering ice caps, immense glaciers and plunging fjords. Sailing 80 degrees north, depending on conditions, you may find yourself anywhere from 600 to 400 miles from the North Pole. The stillness creates a tranquillity unrivalled anywhere else. There’s nothing like suddenly hearing chunks of ice break off a millennial glacier while floating on the icy sea. Look out for walruses, whales breaching the icy water and the King of the Arctic – the mighty polar bear.
GO BEYOND THE EXTRAORDINARY IN GREENLAND
Explore the world’s largest island and meet the warm-hearted people who live in such isolated places as Sisimiut and Ittoqqortoormiit. Our intimate ships go where others can’t, such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ilulissat where you’ll see the Kangia Glacier and one of the
largest ice fjords creating ‘bergs that drift into the bay. The wildlife is diverse, and you may see whales, seals, Arctic foxes, wild reindeer, puffins and possibly even shaggy muskoxen. The surrounding waters provide rich habitats for many species, offering you once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to see these incredible creatures.
FOLLOW FAMED CANADIAN ARCTIC EXPLORERS
Follow in the footsteps of famous explorers to fantastical fjords, fierce wildlife and fractured lands in Canada’s far north. Sail the Northwest Passage to islands few have seen, witnessing wonders and hearing unearthly sounds. Our ice-class ships take you deeper into the beauty of these remote locations in unparalleled comfort, while our experts show you luminous icebergs, majestic barren landscapes, and perhaps even a polar bear or two roaming the land. Join us on a voyage of discovery you’ll be recounting for years to come.

GET CLOSER TO THE ARCTIC BY ZODIAC
There is simply no other experience anywhere on Earth to match hearing vast chunks of ice break away from an ancient glacier as you skim over frigid waters safely in a Zodiac. And there are no other sights to equal witnessing a magnificent humpback whale as it spyhops vertically out of the crystal-clear waters to introduce itself. Our Expedition Team members will get you up close to the action; all you have to do is step onboard.
TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
Experience the extraordinary with an Arctic hiking expedition, immersing yourself in the untouched beauty of remote fjords, hiking through pristine landscapes to unveil incredible vistas. You'll also engage with the heartwarming charm of the locals, forging unforgettable connections with the region's rich culture. As you lace up your boots, get ready for a journey where every step tells a story and prepare for an adventure that goes beyond exploration.
CAPTIVATE YOUR SENSES IN A KAYAK
The Arctic’s towering, blue-green icebergs and the sight of a huge humpback whale breaching the water’s surface look amazing from afar, but there’s nothing like floating alongside the immensity of a glacier in silence or having a curious seal glide right beside you in the water. Under the guidance of certified kayak instructors, you’ll be able to experience all this and so much more as you witness the seas, bays and inlets of the Arctic first hand.
UNDERSTAND THE ARCTIC MORE DEEPLY WITH FASCINATING LECTURES
To make the most of your excursions, we’ve recruited some of the world’s leading experts who have lived and worked in the Arctic. From naturalists and biologists to historians and geologists, they'll provide you with incredible insights on what to expect ashore and at sea. And they’ll capture your curiosity with intricate details about the land, water, ice and wildlife of this region, quenching your thirst for exploration knowledge with their enthusiasm every time.

That’s why we’re excited to invite you to these untouched realms with a front-row seat to nature's grand spectacle. Sailing beside icebergs, witnessing glaciers calving with a thunderous roar, and navigating icy waters, you’ll feel the draw of the undiscovered. Stepping ashore, you’ll be immersed in these wildlands as far-off whales breach frigid waters and seabirds dance swirling in the sky. The
thrill of such encounters is indescribable. Yet the Arctic isn't just about nature; it's about the people who call it home. You’ll connect closely with the region’s cultural soul, sharing stories with locals and experiencing traditions that breathe life into this frozen wonderland. It really is the voyage of a lifetime to see the Arctic, but Silversea elevates it to an experience beyond your expectations. Join us on a journey where each day unfolds like the chapters of a gripping novel, where every moment is an invitation to discover, and where your every wish is fulfilled.
EXPERIENCE DRAMATIC SCENERY ON AN EPIC SCALE
Fantastical fjords reaching up to the icy sky like mountains from some imaginary land, the strange architecture shapes of gargantuan icebergs glowing blue in the eerie stillness, the infinite sweeping ice sheets as far as the eye can see framed by majestic snow-topped mountains rising above it all, and the vividly colourful dots of human habitation punctuating the deserted shoreline – prepare for sights you’ve simply never seen before.
ENCOUNTER RARE AND EXTRAORDINARY WILDLIFE
The Arctic is a wonderland for anyone who loves to experience incredible wildlife. Here, nature can be seen at play along the land, on the icy seas and across the skies. This includes your chances to see Beluga whales playing in the nutrient-rich water of Hudson Bay, rare bird breeding cycles and mass migrations, and of course there is always the possibility of sighting the mighty polar bear stalking imposingly among the rocks and ice.
CONNECT MORE CLOSELY WITH LOCAL CULTURE
Despite the remoteness of the Canadian Arctic it’s been inhabited for centuries. Adapted to this cold, challenging life, its people have developed a rich culture and storied history for you to uncover. We’ve gone deep into these communities to create meaningful partnerships where you and the inhabitants learn from each other, sharing experiences. Cultural views, ancient beliefs and timeless traditions are reflected in the wonderful art and more that awaits.
THE MIDNIGHT SUN AND THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
Our Arctic itineraries offer rare chances for awe-inspiring experiences. You’ll experience the eery Midnight Sun in summer which never sets below the horizon. You’ll learn all about this endless Arctic sunshine and what causes it. And, depending on the weather and time of year, you might witness the incredible natural spectacle of the Northern Lights (aurora borealis): beautiful bright bands of red-green-blue colour rapidly changing in time and space, dancing in the sky.

Monacobreen Glacier, Svalbard
Adventure into Iceland and Svalbard
Discovery the fiery side of the Arctic
Sail to the land of fire and ice to explore its rugged shores, rich natural habitats and Arctic deserts, then onto the pristine wilderness of Svalbard. Iceland is steeped in mysticism. Here, you’ll discover a different side of the Arctic with surprises along the way. Soulful scenery abounds, unspoilt nature unfolds everywhere, there’s no light or air pollution and over half the population believes in elves.
But it’s not all about the great outdoors; Icelandic culture is rich and varied. Going back to before the arrival of Norsemen in 874 AD, it’s a land where Viking traditions still play a large part in everyday life. The Svalbard archipelago is just as alluring, known for its desolate landscapes and unique wildlife, including the polar bear. Remote and remarkable, both lands offer an unparalleled experience.
