Cruise Overview

There are few destinations that spark travel wanderlust quite like East Antarctica.

From penguins, whales and seals to icebergs and glaciers, see the southern continent and re-live the stories of those who first navigated it in 6-star ultra-luxury on a Scenic Eclipse Expedition Voyage.

For centuries, avid travellers and explorers have been fascinated by the world’s most southern continent, a place where penguins congregate in the thousands and people are few and far between.

With an ever-changing landscape of glaciers and icebergs, Antarctica’s realms are wild - particularly along the East Coast, where Australia has a rich history of exploration thanks to the pioneering efforts of explorer Sir Douglas Mawson.

You’ll have the rare opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Mawson and his team, navigating remote bays and ravishing coves and islands where wildlife rules supreme.

And you’ll see it in 6-star ultra-luxury on board Scenic Eclipse, in the company of only up to 200 guests.

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.

Cruise Itinerary

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.
