Silversea has unveiled the name and latest details of the world’s southernmost hotel.
Named The Cormorant at 55 South, the new 150-room hotel in Puerto Williams, Chile is scheduled to open during the 2025/2026 Antarctica season.
“The Cormorant at 55 South will immerse guests in their destination before embarking on their journey to Antarctica,” said Bert Hernandez, president, Silversea.
“Every aspect is thoughtfully designed with our guests in mind, ensuring a comfortable and uniquely Silversea experience. Each room offers panoramic views of Patagonia, and the hotel creates a deep connection to the local community.”
The Cormorant is a nod to the location at 55° S and the cormorant aquatic bird.
The hotel rooms will feature sweeping views and handcrafted items created by regional artisans.
Silversea says the hotel will facilitate a seamless journey to Antarctica allowing guests to fly over the Drake Passage, and providing a shorter option.
The six-day Antarctica Fly Cruise expeditions feature expedition experts hosting guided walks ashore, identifying wildlife species, glacial and geological structures, and other features only found on an Antarctic expedition.
Back on board, lectures provide an overview of the day’s sightings and experiences.
Silversea also announced the launch of Stories by Silversea, its new content series featuring storytelling and resources. Silversea has released the first two episodes, “Embrace the Unknown” and “A Legacy in the Making: Part 1.”
Included in the series will be a multi-part highlight on the development of The Cormorant at 55 South, including new resources and information as well as regular updates and a behind-the-scenes look.
