The Drake Passage is considered the most treacherous voyages for ships to make. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which runs through it, meets no resistance from any landmass and waves top 40 feet (12 metres).

Silversea Expedition cruises continue to lead the way and have created a seamless journey with their exclusive ‘Antarctic Bridge’, bypassing the rough seas via chartered flights from the tip of South America directly to Antarctica’s South Shetland islands – 90 minutes of smooth flying saving two days each way of potentially treacherous seas.

In addition, for our exclusive comfort, Silver sea is applying the finishing touches to the world’s southern-most hotel, the 150-room luxury ‘Cormorant at 55 South’ in time for this Antarctica season.

Luxury Bridge Holidays have been offered an special package deal including three extra nights staying at the Ritz Carlton, Santiago. All this plus a special single supplement offer for a limited number of guests.
