  Silversea Cruises is preparing something new for its guests who journey to the Antarctic. The cruise line is putting finishing touches on The Cormorant at 55 South, soon to be the world’s southernmost hotel. Located at the 55 ◦ south parallel in Puerto Williams, Chile, the Cormorant will be exclusively for guests on Silversea’s Antarctica Fly Cruises. Here’s a little background on how the hotel came to be. A few years ago, Silversea began to offer Antarctic cruises that depart from Puerto Williams not by ship, but by chartered plane.

Plus, he or she can repack your bags while you enjoy yourself on the last night of the cruise. Arranging your suite. If you would like to have furniture moved, a different pillow, a board game to play, or other adjustments, just ask your butler...

Although a cruise ship cabin might serve as your landing pad for just a few days, you should think through your choice of cabin as you would when choosing a place to live. When you choose a home, you consider location, size, and surroundings; think about them when choosing a cruise ship cabin , too. Most ships have a few different categories of cabins, and larger ships may have dozens. Anita, your professional travel advisor, can help you sort through it all, but here are some tips to help you get started. Check the size of the cabins you’re interested in, as well as the number of passengers it can accommodate. Some smaller cabins can accommodate four people efficiently, but without much extra space (and with one small bathroom). Knowing a cabin’s square footage can help you decide if the space will be comfortable or if you should consider a larger cabin or suite. If you’re okay without a view to the outside, an inside cabin can be an excellent and economical choice. Some even ...
