There’s never been a better time to plan a luxury sailing to Antarctica aboard sister brand Silversea. That’s because the leader in luxury expedition travel recently announced it’s developing a hotel in Puerto Williams, Chile—the southernmost city on Earth—to create an unrivaled experience for guests to explore the rugged landscapes of South America and Antarctica. 

The new hotel will facilitate a uniquely turnkey experience, so you’ll enjoy Silversea’s personalized service and warm hospitality throughout your adventure. Guests embarking on the cruise line’s innovative Antarctica Bridge fly-cruise program, the fastest and most direct route to Antarctica, will fly directly to Puerto Williams from Santiago, Chile, and be whisked to the hotel to begin their bucket list escape.

Overlooking famous Beagle Channel, and surrounded by pristine forest, the hotel will feature views of the water and stunning snow-capped Patagonian mountains. Amenities will include an expansive restaurant ideal for group gatherings, a bar and lounge, fitness center, and gift shop showcasing crafts by local artisans. Due to its innovative architectural design, the hotel will blend seamlessly into the surrounding environment drawing inspiration from local traditional art, architecture, and materials.

“We’re thrilled to enhance the Antarctic travel experience by offering seamless journeys that remove traditional barriers for guests to this region,” said Silversea President Bert Hernandez. “This development not only differentiates us from other polar expeditions, but also reaffirms our commitment to innovation and excellence as Silversea continues to set the standard in experiential luxury travel.”

Silversea is the only cruise line that homeports from Puerto Williams during the Antarctica season. Located in the sub-Antarctic zone of the Patagonia region of Chile at the southern tip of South America, Puerto Williams is an ideal gateway to explore the world’s least visited continent.

The new 150-room hotel is currently under construction with completion scheduled for the end of 2025. Plan your Silversea Antarctica adventure today, and be among the first to stay in this incredible new hotel at the edge of the world.
