CHOOSE ULTIMATE LUXURY AND SUPERIOR DESTINATION EXPERTISE

Few people visit the Canadian Arctic. Fewer still experience it in such superlative style as an expedition with Silversea. Go where great explorers have gone before, only in ultimate comfort.

EXPLORE THE SECRETS OF THE CANADIAN ARCTIC

Our state-of-the-art ships travel earlier in the season when there’s still ice, and go further into hidden and unexplored areas of the island. You’ll go on thrilling expeditions with experts by Zodiac® and on foot, and marvel at sights from our ships’ 270˚ panoramic viewpoints including a high chance of seeing Polar Bears. Our unrivalled 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio means fascinating anthropologists, historians, marine experts and more are on hand to enrich your understanding of the Canadian Arctic and help your appreciate its natural beauty – while our staff make sure your every need is met.

SEE EPIC SCENERY AND RARE WILDLIFE

Spectacular frozen fjords, strange architecture shapes of huge icebergs glowing blue in the eerie stillness, infinite sweeping ice-sheets framed by majestic snow-topped mountains rising above it all and colourful dots of human habitation punctuating the shoreline – prepare for sights you’ve never seen. Incredible wildlife can also be seen on land, in the sea and across the skies. These include chances to see Beluga whales playing in the nutrient-rich water of Hudson Bay, rare bird breeding cycles and migrations, and of course the mighty Polar Bear stalking imposingly among the rocks and ice.

CONNECT MORE CLOSELY WITH LOCAL CULTURE

Despite the remoteness of the Canadian Artic, even these parts of the world have been inhabited for centuries. Adapted to the biting cold, challenging landscape and harsh way of life, its people have developed a wonderfully rich culture and storied history for you to uncover. Silversea has gone deeper into these local communities by creating meaningful partnerships where travellers and inhabitants learn from each other and benefit from their shared experiences. Fascinating cultural views, ancient beliefs and timeless traditions are reflected in the wonderful art and more that awaits you.
