Silversea has announced The Cormorant at 55 South, a new 150-room luxury hotel in Puerto Williams, Chile, designed to offer seamless and immersive access to Antarctica.
Opening for the 2025/2026 Antarctica season, it will be the southernmost hotel on Earth and a key part of Silversea’s continued leadership in luxury expedition travel.
“The Cormorant is a tribute to Puerto Williams’ natural beauty and cultural heritage, providing unmatched comfort before guests set off on their Antarctic adventures,” said Silversea President Bert Hernandez.
Each room will feature sweeping views of Patagonia’s landscapes, with handcrafted items by local artisans, and interiors reflecting the earthy tones of the region.
The hotel will enhance Silversea’s six-day Antarctica Fly Cruise program, allowing guests to fly over the Drake Passage for faster access to the continent.
With dedicated staff trained in Silversea’s signature hospitality, the hotel ensures a consistent luxury experience from arrival through embarkation.
The Cormorant connects guests with nature and local culture, offering two room view options—forest and Beagle Channel vistas—and a warm, authentic design. Silversea’s renowned expedition team will continue to lead on-shore adventures and educational lectures throughout the cruise.
The brand has also launched Stories by Silversea, a new content series that includes behind-the-scenes insights on The Cormorant’s development.
