The most expensive cruise in 2024 will be Silversea Cruises' 125-day "pole-to-pole" itinerary.
Silversea says this expedition voyage will stop in destinations like Antarctica and Svalbard, Norway.

Next year, Silversea Cruises will operate the vacation of a lifetime: a "pole-to-pole" cruise. And at a cool $95,000 per person, this 125-day trip will also sail as the most expensive cruise of 2024.

The luxury Royal Caribbean Group brand is in the business of selling expensive vacations. The luxury cruise line's newest vessel, the Silver Nova, set sail in August with itineraries starting at $500 a day.

And recently, the cruise line has seen plenty of success for its longer — and subsequently more expensive — "Grand Voyage" itineraries.

The luxury brand will be operating a diverse collection of these longer cruises in the coming years.

But in 2024, none of these itineraries will be as pricey (or icy) as its "Grand Pole to Pole Expedition."

Sailing from "pole-to-pole" isn't a new concept — this year, Holland America Line also unveiled its own iteration of this concept.

Throughout the 125 days at sea, the ice-class Silver Wind and its up to 274 guests will travel to 21 countries.

The trip is an amalgamation of eight segments starting in Puerto Williams, Chile on February 22, 2024 and ending in Longyearbyen, Norway on June 26, according to Silversea's itinerary.

After five days in the northern and southern parts of Svalbard, the 125-day-long vacation will finally conclude in Longyearbyen, Norway, the largest settlement in the archipelago, according to Silversea.

Throughout the vacation, travelers can dine at one of the Silver Wind's four restaurants, take in the views in the observation library, freshen up at the spa, or catch a show at the theater.

A luxury cruise ship means there are no dingy interior staterooms.
