Silversea’s naming ceremony for its newest expedition ship, the 200-guest Silver Endeavour, took place in November in a highly unusual setting – the Lemaire Channel in the heart of Antarctica.
Godmother Felicity Aston, the first woman to ski solo across Antarctica, first presided over a blessing of the ship in a ceremony Nov. 15 at the Cape Horn Sub-Antarctic Center in Puerto Williams, Chile – a new homeport for many Silversea Antarctic voyages and the southernmost city in the world.
The actual christening was in the Lemaire Channel in Antarctica during the ship’s inaugural Antarctic voyage; it was a shakedown cruise with media guests and travel advisers on board.
