Also: first cruise call for Puerto Cisnes, Chile
Silversea’s 260-guest Silver Cloud will make the first cruise ship call at Puerto Cisnes in Chile’s Aysén region in mid-November 2026 (exact date TBA), Cruise Industry News reports. The stop is part of a 20-day voyage from Valparaíso to Puerto Williams that includes Antarctica.
What it means for airline travelers
- Book early if you want a specific sailing. Sales open October 8. Travel-industry rates are not mentioned in the coverage.
- Caribbean gateways: Miami (MIA), Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and San Juan (SJU). All three have frequent service, but winter standby loads are heavy. Fly in a day early.
- Grand South America is a round trip. It leaves and returns to Fort Lauderdale, so there is no open-jaw ticket to plan.
- Asian Markets sailings are one-way. Singapore (SIN) to Hong Kong (HKG) means two different long-haul listings. Allow two buffer days.
- Silver Cloud in Chile: Valparaíso is reached through Santiago (SCL). The voyage ends at remote Puerto Williams, so confirm onward travel with Silversea before listing for flights.
