Silversea has unveiled the first spaces and name of its new 150-room hotel in Puerto Williams, Chile, scheduled to open during the 2025-26 Antarctica season. Upon completion, Silversea’s new hotel, The Cormorant at 55 South, will offer guests a comfortable and seamless way to visit Antarctica.
The location of the property at 55° S makes it the southernmost hotel on Earth. Each room at The Cormorant at 55 South is designed with expansive windows that frame forest views or water vistas overlooking the Beagle Channel. Every room will incorporate handcrafted items created by regional artisans, celebrating local and regional culture.
The hotel will facilitate a frictionless journey to Antarctica, allowing guests to enjoy personalized service throughout their entire experience. Silversea’s six-day "Antarctica Fly Cruise" expeditions allow guests to fly over the Drake Passage, providing a shorter option without compromising on the time spent in the destination.
Silversea offers a range of adventures in Antarctica, led by an expedition team that comprises up to 28 experts in their field, kayak instructors, and more. Silversea’s expedition experts host guided walks ashore, identifying wildlife species, unique glacial and geological structures, and other features only found on an Antarctic expedition. Onboard, the team’s lectures provide an overview of the day’s sightings and experiences.
Silversea has also announced the launch of “Stories by Silversea,” its new content series with authentic storytelling and resources. It has released the first two episodes, “Embrace the Unknown” and “A Legacy in the Making: Part 1.” Designed to speak to the topics that matter most to its guests, Stories by Silversea will publish new content focusing on different topics, stories and moments unique to Silversea, establishing an important educational tool to learn more. Included in the series will be a multi-part highlight on the development of The Cormorant at 55 South, including new resources and information, regular updates and a behind-the-scenes look at creating the southernmost hotel in the world.
