Cruise Overview

The White Continent has piqued the imagination of explorers for centuries.

Let it inspire yours when you voyage to East Antarctica’s Ross Sea aboard Scenic Eclipse, witnessing the whales, orcas, penguins and seals, the icebergs and glaciers that fascinated Shackleton and Scott all those years ago – and still leave you lost for words today.

Unlike anything you have experienced before, an expedition to Antarctica’s Ross Sea Region on board Scenic Eclipse will leave you breathless.

End-of-the-Earth landscapes, gem-like glaciers, immense icebergs and jagged mountain ranges are the setting for some of the planet’s most prolific wildlife displays, whether whales and orcas, penguins and seals or migratory seabirds.

This is nature writ large.

Over 24 days, you’ll follow in the footsteps of some of the world’s greatest explorers.

But unlike those early pioneers, you’ll be enjoying the spine-tingling outlook from the comforts of Scenic Eclipse, in 6-star ultra-luxury.

The itinerary provided is an example of what you may experience.

Antarctica is an incredible destination, and you will be exposed to the unpredictability of the region.

The expert team on board will work with the weather and ice conditions to deliver a wonderous voyage.

Aboard Scenic Eclipse II

Launch Year: 2021 Length: 168 Width: 22 Currency: USD Capacity: 228 Crew Count: 172 Deck Count: 8 Cabin Count: 114

The second discovery yacht in the Scenic Eclipse fleet will set sail on her maiden voyage from Athens to Lisbon, before her debut season, when the luxury ocean cruise ship will chart its way to the European and Russian Arctic, sailing through both the White Sea and Northwest Passage.

Russia’s White Sea is still in many ways a great mystery due to geographic isolation; however, it is one of the most naturally stunning locations on the planet, and an ideal destination for avid explorers. Meanwhile, the Northwest Passage, which routes from the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean, along the coast of North America, offers an exceptional polar exploration experience.
