Scenic Eclipse

A day in a life in Antarctica Antarctica is a land of pristine beauty, breathtaking wildlife and invaluable importance. Each day will be unique, with discovery experiences enveloped in 6-star ultra-luxury onboard Scenic Eclipse.

Morning exploration

Awaken

Excitement builds as you travel away from Scenic Eclipse. Its size and unique design allows you to explore places that larger vessels can’t reach. What will it be today? Perhaps a landing near the largest gentoo penguin colony on the Antarctic Peninsula, where some 6,500 noisy pairs raise chicks; a cruise through a sculpture garden of exquisitely eroded icebergs, or a snow hike to an island summit for stunning views.

Wake to the whisper of Scenic Eclipse, its hull gently peppered by ice floes enticing you from your cozy Scenic Slumber Bed. At the suite’s floor to ceiling window, catch your breath at the stunning views, as your butler serves a coffee of your choice. Take in the early morning sunlight illuminating ice-clad mountains that soar above.

8

Morning

Late morning

After a delicious breakfast, put on your complimentary Polar parka and proceed to the Discovery Center where your insulated boots await. Join your group at the Marina entrance and board a Zodiac for your morning excursion. With only 200 guests in Polar regions, disembarkation goes smoothly and enables multiple landings each day.

No two excursions are alike. Your Discovery Leaders are alert to changing opportunities, from humpback whales suddenly breaching, to leopard seals hunting just offshore – and flexible enough to get you there. Monitoring weather, sea state and ice, they will safely guide and share their insights into the region’s environment, wildlife and history. Add our next level exploration onboard, our custom-built Helicopters^ or our Submarine^.

Discover the Antarctic Region

Seasonal Guide

Antarctica guards its secrets for all but five magical months, when the sea ice slowly retreats and penguins, seabirds, whales and seals make their way south for an intense breeding and feeding season. Purpose built for Polar regions, Scenic Eclipse’s strengthened hull and Polar Class 6 rating allows safe access to places many others can’t. Walk straight on to sea ice from the ship, see the arrival of seal pups and humpbacks – every voyage offers unique experiences. Add South Georgia and the Falkland Islands to your itinerary for the voyage of a lifetime. Here are some seasonal highlights to help you decide which voyage is ideal for you.

SUMMER

AUTUMN

(January – Early February)

(Late February –Early March)

Peak season on the Antarctic Peninsula, rookeries are full of chicks, parents dodge leopard seals and skuas scan for the unattended. Crabeater and Weddell seals lounge on ice floes, females often nursing newborn pups.

As autumn approaches, cormorant chicks begin to fly and whales, now well fed, group up before beginning their great migration north to breeding grounds. South Georgia is alive with millions of fur seal pups and king penguins packing beaches.

Afternoon exploration Scenic Eclipse’s limited guest numbers means multiple landings a day, and soon it’s time to set off again. From fascinating historic huts, to seabird colonies, pods of whales to the thrill of calving glaciers, your Discovery Guides will interpret what unfolds before your eyes. Ignite the explorer within, joining an all-inclusive guided kayaking or paddleboard trip, sharing protected waterways with curious crabeater seals, porpoising penguins or navigate through the diamond glisten of brash ice.

Lunch By midday, return to the ultra-luxury of your Discovery Yacht. Choose lunch at one of several dining experiences, from the casual Azure Bar & Cafe to the Yacht Club’s grill, contemporary fine dining. While you eat, rest and take in the sights, Scenic Eclipse repositions to a new location for another excursion, holding its place using its GPS Dynamic Positioning System, without dropping anchor onto sensitive seabeds.

After-dinner What better way to finish the day than with a nightcap in one of our all-inclusive nine bars and lounges, as alpenglow tinges the passing summits outside.

Afternoon rejuvenation Back on Scenic Eclipse, visit our expansive 5920 ft2 Senses Spa for the pure indulgence of rejuvenating treatments, soak in our Vitality Spa or outdoor pool, or stretch tightening muscles in our gym, or yoga and Pilates studio. Join your Discovery Leader for an illustrated recap of the day and learn what is planned for the next.

^Helicopter, helicopter experiences and submarine at additional cost, subject to regulatory approval, availability, weight restrictions, medical approval and weather & ice conditions. Helicopters are unable to operate in South Georgia.

20-Day Antarctica, South Georgia & Falkland Islands Salisbury Plain, South Georgia

Extraordinary landscapes Little islands with big tales to tell. The South Georgia Islands are teeming with wildlife and exploration history, while the intriguing Falkland Islands are unique, as is the great white wonder of Antarctica. In South Georgia, photograph the impressive jagged mountain vistas and walk through some of the world’s largest king penguin colonies. Penguins nest, and voraciously hungry chicks grow quickly as their parents work hard feeding them. The waters are teeming with whales feasting on krill, orcas hunt in packs and elephant seal beachmasters are busy guarding their harem. In the Falkland Islands, we explore the historic town of Stanley and the wildlife endemic to the region.

Visit the very British capitol, Stanley and its small but thriving community. Today, choose one of our Scenic Freechoice activities or join a more active Scenic Discovery excursion. Freechoice: Take a walking tour of the small capitol, or on a Battlefields Tour visit the key sites of conflict.

At sea Sailing towards South Georgia gives you time to slow to the rhythm of the sea. There will be plenty of time to relax and be entranced by the many seabirds you’ll encounter on your way. You may decide to join the avid whale watchers hoping to get a glimpse of one of these giant mammals, or simply contemplate the vastness of the ocean. Meals: B.L.D

South Georgia

d

South Georgia is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the world. The island is a speck in the vast South Atlantic Ocean, one of the most remote parts of

our planet. A 3,000-metre mountain range forms the spine of the long, narrow island. Between the mountains, shattered glaciers carve their way through tussock grass to the deeply indented coastline. Despite being such a small outpost in the vastness of the South Atlantic, the sea around South Georgia is one of the liveliest areas on Earth. The abundant marine life supports millions of seals, whales, penguins and seabirds. Ernest Shackleton and five of his crew sailed from Elephant Island in the James Caird for 16 days and 1,300 kilometres and finally found safety in the tiny entrance of Cave Cove. This epic story of survival began with the sinking of Shackleton’s ship, the Endurance, in the Weddell Sea, six months earlier. As you explore South Georgia, you will have the opportunity to reflect on Shackleton’s epic journey. Discovery: Equipped with a fleet of custom built Zodiacs and kayaks, your discovery excursions will take you to the places of your wildest dreams. Meals: B.L.D

tussock grass to the deeply indented coastline. Despite being such a small outpost in the vastness of the south Atlantic, the sea around South Georgia is one of the most productive areas on Earth. The abundant marine life supports millions of seals, whales, penguins and other seabirds. Elephant Island: The island from which Shackelton and five of his crew sailed in the James Caird for 16 days and 1,300 kilometres and finally found safety in the tiny entrance of Cave Cove. This epic story of survival began with the sinking of his ship, the Endurance, in the Weddell Sea, six months earlier. As we explore South Georgia, we will have the opportunity to reflect on Shackleton’s epic journey. Meals: B.L.D
