Meet some of our Antarctica & South American Discovery Team experts: Jonathan Fuhrmann
Dr. Terence Christian
Geology, Glaciology, Lecturer, Assistant Discovery Leader
Historian, Archaeologist, Discovery Leader
Jonathan’s love of the Polar regions and great mountain ranges of Earth has proven enduring. He has worked on expedition cruise ships on all seven continents since 2015 and enjoys speaking on subjects ranging from glaciology and geology to astronomy, volcanology and photography. Antarctica is a charismatic wildlife framed by a unique backdrop of mountains and glaciers. As a dedicated member of the Discovery Team, helping our guests immerse in the stories this beautiful wild landscape tells us about our planet’s past and present is why Jonathan enjoys returning to the Antarctic.
Terence is a conflict archaeologist and military historian. Bitten by the travel bug from an early age, he has travelled extensively, exploring a majority of the world’s continents and oceans as an expedition leader, expedition guide and Zodiac driver. Terence maintains active certifications in the expedition guiding and maritime industries including Certified Polar Guide status. According to Terence the Polar regions are some of his favourite places to guide guests. When you journey to the Poles, you journey where few have ventured before, where the climate provides unmatched artefact and preservation. Each day feels like a step back in time.
Scott McCormak
Alice Forrest
Kayak & Paddleboard Guide
Marine Biology, Lecturer, Assistant Discovery Leader
Scott runs his own company Cape LaHave Adventures and has over 20 years of experience guiding paddling expeditions in Antarctica and South America as well as the Norwegian Arctic and Canada. As a certified canoe, paddleboard and sea kayak instructor with Paddle Canada, he is an expert in this field. Scott brings a wealth of experience to ensure a safe, enjoyable and insightful environment for all guests and skill levels.

Alice’s passion is the natural world and creatures who inhabit it. She has degrees in Conservation Biology, Marine and Antarctic Science and as a researcher she felt the best way to utilise this scientific knowledge is to share it. Alice has worked extensively in marine tourism, connecting people to the wonder and value of the ocean. Alice’s favourite experience is watching guests fall in love with nature as they snorkel with tiger sharks, kayak with dolphins, see eye-to-eye with humpback whales, or be breathed on by a minke whale in a Zodiac in Antarctica.

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 on board Scenic Eclipse.
Awaken Wake to the whisper of Scenic Eclipse, its hull gently peppered by ice floes enticing you from your cosy 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.

Morning exploration
Afternoon exploration
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 6500 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.
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.
Morning
Late morning
Lunch
After a delicious breakfast, put on your complimentary Polar parka and proceed to the Discovery Centre 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 on board our custom-built helicopters^ or submarine^.
By midday, return to the ultraluxury of your Discovery Yacht. Choose lunch at one of several dining experiences, from the casual Azure Bar & Cafe to the Yacht Club’s grill, to 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 550m2 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.

We loved the scenery, the wildlife, the opportunities to explore, the helicopter flight, the things we learned, and the passion and enthusiasm of the Discovery team. We loved the attitude of the Captain, his willingness and the ship’s ability to respond to things such as whale sightings, and to be flexible to provide the best possible Antarctic experience.

Antarctica guards its secrets in an icy grip 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.

Spring/Early Summer
Summer January – Early February During 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. Ice retreats to allow easier access to the Antarctic Circle and the Weddell Sea and opens up new vistas to enjoy from our two custom built helicopters^. As summer winds down, adolescent chicks fledge and are curious, often approaching visitors before running the leopard seal gauntlet on their first swims.
November – December On the Antarctic Peninsula, Spring is a favourite time for many, especially photographers, who delight in pristine snowscapes. Fast ice clings to bays along the west coast, and one ship’s barrier is another’s gateway to wonder. On board Scenic Eclipse, The World’s First Discovery Yachts™ your dreams become reality. Flightsee^ above magnificent Lemaire Channel, heliski^* hidden powder stashes, and explore the ice edge the rarely-seen sea floor in our custom-built submersible, Scenic Neptune^.
On South Georgia, penguin chicks almost as big as their parents need constant feeding and are old enough to play with juvenile seals. Days continue to be long and temperatures rise above 5°C, the warmest of the year. On board Scenic Neptune^, explore waters never dived before by submarine. Enjoy a seal ballet, schooling pelagic fish and maybe even whales. In the Falkland Islands, Magellenic penguin chicks emerge from burrows, and King penguin chicks hatch.
Watch penguins begin courting, nest-building thievery and egg incubation. By late December, chicks hatch to be fed by parents that share fishing and feeding duties. Minkes, humpbacks and Southern Right whales arrive to feed beneath near 24-hour daylight. Our Into the Weddell Sea voyage visits the famous Snow Hill Island, where thousands of Emporer penguins nurture their young, before returning to the Antarctic Peninsula’s west side. If ice conditions allow, navigating south, further than most expedition ships go, discover exquisite waterways like Lemaire Channel, the Gullet and Crystal Sound to celebrate crossing the Antarctic Circle (66°33’S). Where we may reach rarely-visited Marguerite Bay for a true Discovery Adventure.
Late February – Early March As autumn approaches, cormorant chicks bravely begin to fly and whales, now well fed, group up before beginning their great migration north to breeding grounds. Brilliant sunsets herald nightfall, patches of sea freeze as you watch, courting leopard seals captivate with eerie song and the last gentoo penguins are chased out into the Southern Ocean by winter’s ever-increasing ice barrier. South Georgia is alive with millions of fur seal pups cavorting in swim schools, king penguins packing beaches while the newly-discovered Type D orcas and elusive sperm whales pass nearby.
On South Georgia, testosterone runs high amongst male fur and elephant seals, who battle to create and protect their harems. King penguins balance eggs on their feet and albatross reveal their gawky, gorgeous chicks. By mid-to-late December, in both South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, most penguin chicks have hatched.

Explore the extensive range of up to 10 dining experiences, or your butler will serve you should you wish to dine in-suite.
Whether it’s watching a fluffy chick take its first steps, penguins diving through glassy seas, leopard seals languidly resting on ice floes, packs of crabeater seals swimming along a sapphire ice edge, or orcas rising to match the pace of your Zodiac, your Discovery Team naturalist will be there to enhance your experience by sharing their knowledge of Antarctica. We strive to give you a deeper understanding of the ‘must see’ sights, along with the flexibility to explore at your own pace.
How different it must have been for Irish ship’s master Edward Bransfield in 1820, when he became the first to see the Antarctic Peninsula. Today we follow in his wake, first to the wildlife-rich South Shetland Islands, home to 16 scientific research stations (mostly on King George Island) and mysterious live volcanic islands, then across the strait that bears Bransfield’s name, to the Peninsula. On the east side is the Weddell Sea, a wonderland of fossil fields on ice-free islands, and a series of vast tabular icebergs. We’ll search for big colonies, think 16,000 breeding pairs of Adélie penguins and curious fur seals. It’s here in 1915 that Shackleton and his men made an epic escape, after the sinking of his ship Endurance – one of several incredible survival stories you’ll hear beautifully told by our Discovery Team historian.

With just 200 guests on our Scenic Expedition Voyages, every day on the Antarctic Peninsula offers multiple excursions, each one unique. Land on your seventh continent in the morning, visit a historic hut in the afternoon, soothe your mind, body & soul at the yoga & Pilates Studio to rejuvenate before dinner. Truly where luxury meets discovery. The world-class design and crew of Scenic Eclipse, The World’s First Discovery Yachts™ puts the Antarctic environment first with a GPS Dynamic Positioning system that allows us to maintain our location without dropping anchor onto sensitive seabeds. The latest emissions technology, IMO low sulphur fuel and Advanced Wastewater Treatment Systems allows for minimum impact exploration.

Between South America’s Cape Horn and the Antarctic Peninsula is Drake Passage, the shortest sailing distance and perhaps the world’s most-fickle waterway. Like its namesake (Francis Drake was a pirate to the Spanish, a hero to the English) it can be ‘Drake Shake’ one day, ‘Drake Lake’ the next. However, Scenic Eclipse’s custom-built, oversized zero speed stabilisers are 50 per cent larger than most other ships, bringing greater stability regardless of sea state, and its Comfort Class 1 standard promises the lowest ship noise and vibration. The result? A smooth journey and less time to reach the Frozen Continent.

Enter the Weddell Sea, a frozen world of magic and wonder, where vast tabular icebergs take your breath away, krill-rich waters support emperor penguins and Adélie penguin colonies a hundred thousand strong. Where world-renowned fossil fields mark Antarctica’s last connection with other continents and the greatest stories of Polar survival have been born. With good reason. Nearly half the Weddell Sea is covered by the massive, floating, Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, the second largest in Antarctica, and smaller ice shelves along the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. These ice shelves calve huge, flat-topped icebergs some 30 metres above sea level, 120 metres below and many kilometres long. Powered by deep currents, they slice through fields of frozen sea ice, like icebreakers of the gods. It takes a unique ship to explore these waters and Scenic Eclipse, The World’s First Discovery Yachts™, is in a class of its own. The first to be designed and built to Polar Class 6 standards, its strengthened hull, forward bow thrusters, 50 per cent larger stabilisers and electronic Azipod propulsion system enable safe navigation. Our Polar Discovery Team specialists share their insights into the environment and history of
the region. Their expertise allows us to land in places few others have been before. Most have heard the Shackleton story, of how his ship Endurance was trapped and crushed in Weddell Sea pack ice and how he and his men escaped to Elephant Island in lifeboats. Learn how Shackleton and five others sailed from there, to South Georgia, on an epic rescue mission. Who knows the story of Otto Nordenskjold’s, Swedish Antarctic Expedition, who was here more than a decade earlier? Your Discovery Team historian will share the gripping tale of how Nordenskjold lost his support ship Antarctica to pack ice and how this started a series of events combining the hardship, coincidence, sheer good luck and leadership that brought all but one of his men back alive.
D
B
Whether by Zodiac or helicopter^, we aim to visit Nordenskjold’s Hut on Snow Hill Island and look for emperor penguins recently departed from the northernmost colony nearby. On adjacent Seymour Island, known as the Rosetta Stone of Antarctic palaeontology, scientists have discovered fossils of giant penguins, marsupials and evidence of the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. We’ll search for ephemeral waterfalls on Vega Island, perhaps visit an abandoned British field camp in Duse Bay, and explore volcanic Paulet Island, home to 100,000 breeding pairs of Adélies and the remains of Larsen’s Hut, built in 1903 by the survivors of Antarctica. Explore above, below and beyond the horizon. Our two helicopters^ provide new perspectives on tabular icebergs, the Antarctic Peninsula’s icecap and access to remote fossil fields. Our custombuilt submarine, Scenic Neptune^, enables you to explore the depths of the Weddell Sea where no one else has been. Who knows, there may still be relics of Nordenskjold’s and Shackleton’s lost ships somewhere on the sea floor. Back on board Scenic Eclipse, visit our expansive 550m2 Senses Spa for the pure indulgence of rejuvenating treatments, soak in our Vitality Spa or outdoor Vitality pools, or stretch tightening muscles in our gym. Join your Discovery Leader for an illustrated recap of the day and learn what is planned for the next. After dinner, what better way to finish the day than with a nightcap in one of our nine bars and lounges, admiring evening light playing across the Weddell Sea Ice Factory outside.

Imagine king penguin colonies 150,000 strong, or 870,000 breeding pairs of rockhopper penguins. Add fur and elephant seals, sea lions, white sand beaches, soaring glaciated peaks and a thrilling history of whaling, Polar explorers, pioneers and war, all this on just two of best-known of all Scotia Arc islands – the Falklands and South Georgia.
Our Discovery Team leader plans to land as often as possible, to take extended hikes or sit quietly enjoying busy beach activities. Zodiac cruise beneath cliffs where light-mantled sooty albatross nest, walk up a boardwalk for close encounters with majestic wandering albatross and chicks. Photograph South Georgia pipits, just one of several species recovering after a successful pest eradication program.
Simply put, if you’re planning a trip to Antarctica, add these destinations for the trip of a lifetime. From Ushuaia, indulge in the ultra-luxury experiences of Scenic Eclipse for just over a day to reach the Falkland Islands. Windswept and scarcely populated, this remote archipelago is a birder’s delight. Enjoy close encounters with magnificent black-browed albatross or ‘mollymawks’, sitting on their mud and straw nests. Delight in penguins, from ground burrowing Magellanics to flamboyant-feathered macaroni and rockhoppers, from gentle gentoos to regal kings. Five species of geese, teals and the antics of the flightless steamer duck will also captivate. From clifftop vantages, spy bull sea lions aggressively defending their harems, moving quickly on their flippers like lumbering bears. Watch fur and elephant seals gambolling on beaches, dolphins and orcas patrolling offshore.

Spend a day exploring the very-British capital, Stanley. Choose one of our Scenic Freechoice activities – a walking tour of the town or a Battlefield Tour detailing the Falklands War. If feeling more active, join a Scenic Discovery excursion, walk a wildlife trail and to the Magellanic penguin colony at Gypsy Cove. Whether we approach South Georgia from north or south your first view is unforgettable. It might be waters off Bird Island roiling with penguins, fur and elephant seals; or the south coast’s ice-encrusted Salvesen Range soaring 2,330 glorious metres above. Over the next days, your Discovery team will guide you to the best bays, beaches and mountainsides of this 170 km long island, showing you why this is the world’s most important penguin and seabird breeding area.

Since 1775, when Captain Cook became the first to land on South Georgia, the island has been a base camp for sealers, whalers and Antarctic explorers. Norwegians established the island’s first whaling station in Grytviken in 1904, with six others to follow. Of all the explorers, best known is Ernest Shackleton, who with five of his men, sailed a lifeboat 800 nautical miles across the Southern Ocean, then hiked across the island’s unmapped interior to raise a rescue for the men he left behind on Elephant Island. Join your Discovery Team historian in the Grytviken cemetery to raise a toast at the graves of Shackleton and his right-hand man, Frank Wild, and tour the open-air whaling station, museum and gift shop. Enjoy an all-inclusive kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding excursion, with your Discovery Team guide for an excursion off the island’s largest king penguin rookeries, as birds zoom underneath and all around your craft. Become one of the first people ever to explore the deep waters surrounding South Georgia in the custom-built submarine, Scenic Neptune^.

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.
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.

6 VARIATIONS TO THE SERVICES (1) We expressly reserve the right – before confirming your travel – to make changes for objective reasons to the prices and information stated concerning the contractual travel services and to the catalogue particulars and/or description of travel and, in particular, to correct errors. SCENIC will naturally inform the traveller of all changes before entering the contract. (2) Changes to travel services to the services contractually agreed that become necessary after entering the contract are permitted. This applies in particular but is not limited to changes resulting from the particular characteristics of shipping. This is conditional on the changes being insignificant within the meaning of section 651f, subsection 2, of the German Civil Code, SCENIC not acting in bad faith in their introduction, and the changes being reasonable and not affecting the overall design or the overall character of the booked travel. The same applies in particular also to changes to sailing times and port stays and/or to routes (in particular for safety or weather reasons), which are a matter exclusively for the captain responsible for the vessel to decide. This shall be without prejudice to any warranty claims of the traveller. SCENIC and/or its agents shall inform the traveller of such a change to the services in a clear, comprehensible and prominent manner on a durable medium (e.g. by letter, fax or email) without delay on becoming aware of the reason necessitating the change and before the start of travel, as provided for in section 651f, subsection 2, of the German Civil Code. If objections to the changes are raised, the booking advice shall prevail. (3) If after entering the contract SCENIC can provide the travel only with a significant alteration to one of the main characteristics of the travel services or cannot meet special requirements requested by the passenger which have become contractually agreed, SCENIC is entitled before the start of the travel to propose to the customer a corresponding contractual change or, at its discretion, to offer the customer an alternative tour (substitute travel) (section 651g of the German Civil Code). SCENIC may, before the start of the travel, require the traveller within a reasonable period specified to accept the significant variations to the contract or to terminate the contract without paying a cancellation fee. In the notification of the changes, SCENIC shall expressly draw the traveller’s attention to this deadline. The traveller may respond to the notification by either accepting the contractual change, requesting to participate in substitute travel, where this was offered to him, or terminating the contract without a fee. If the traveller does not respond or does not respond within the specified period, the amendment notified is deemed accepted. This shall be without prejudice to any warranty claims, however, if the amended services are not in conformity with the contract. (4) The traveller must be bear and/or reimburse any additional expenses arising by reason of a quarantine beyond the scope of SCENIC’s responsibility. (5) Please note that the allocation of seats by airlines is limited by the number of seats available in each category. Airlines accept changes to advance seat reservations until shortly before departure. Further, seat reservations are possible, at the earliest, when flight times have been published. In addition, in accordance with official safety rules, certain seats, in particular those in the emergency exit rows with greater legroom (XL seats), cannot be reserved for all categories of traveller. 7 CHANGES TO THE TRAVEL ROUTE (1) Following the start of travel, SCENIC shall inform travellers without undue delay within a reasonable period of any changes to the route of their ocean or river cruise (hereinafter both ocean cruises and river cruises are referred to as a “cruise”). (2) Circumstances that can result in a change to the travel route or cruise, in particular for safety or weather reasons, are, for example, high or low water levels in a waterway or port, ports or locks that are closed, storms, storm warnings and unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of SCENIC. Changes to the travel route or cruise may, in addition, include: (a) the use of substitute vessels for part or all of the cruise; (b) cabin changes on a vessel; (c) additional embarkations and disembarkations; (d) changes to the destinations to be visited and to departure and arrival times; (e) a reduction or increase in the period of stay in a particular location. This shall be without prejudice to any warranty claims. 8 PRICE CHANGES (1) SCENIC reserves the right to change the price stated and confirmed in the booking subject to the following conditions. (a) The period between the date the contract was entered and the agreed date of travel amounts to more than 20 days; the circumstances resulting in the increase occurred after

The amount of the compensation is determined in accordance with the cruise fare less the value of SCENIC’s cost savings and the income SCENIC generates from alternative deployment of the travel services. The compensation will be standardised and differentiated in accordance with the period between the date at which the traveller’s notice of termination is received and the start of the travel and the nature of the travel booked. In application of these principles, SCENIC may claim compensation for each traveller registered in accordance with the following scale:
unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, SCENIC shall, in accordance with Section 651k, subsection 4, of the German Civil Code and subject to the exceptions provided for in Section 651k, subsection 5, of the German Civil Code, bear the cost of necessary accommodation for the traveller for a period not exceeding three nights. In the cases covered by paragraphs 1(a) and 1(b), SCENIC shall offer the traveller a FUTURE TRAVEL CREDIT (FTC) voucher.

(b) Where the increase applies on seat-by-seat basis, SCENIC may require the traveller concerned to pay the additional amount.

(2) Where a price increase exceeds 8% SCENIC may require the traveller either to accept the offer relating to the price increase or to terminate the travel contract in good time (within a period specified by SCENIC) without paying a cancellation fee. An offer relating to a price increase cannot be made where 20 days or fewer remain before the travel is due to start. Following the expiry of the period specified by SCENIC, the offer relating to the price increase shall be deemed accepted unless the traveller has terminated the contract. In the offer relating to a price increase, SCENIC may also offer the traveller an alternative tour. (3) SCENIC must grant the traveller a reduction in the tour price if and to the extent that, after entering the contract and before the start of the travel, the abovementioned prices, taxes or exchange rates have changed, resulting in decreased costs for SCENIC. If the traveller has paid more than the amount due following such reduction, SCENIC must refund the overpayment. SCENIC may, however, deduct administrative expensive actually incurred from the amount to be refunded. At the traveller’s request, SCENIC must prove that the administrative expenses were incurred.

The rules of this paragraph shall apply unless the rules specified in clause 6(1) result in a lower claim being asserted against SCENIC. In connection with the liability provisions governing carriage by sea, SCENIC draws your attention to the following points: (a) Irrespective of the existence of a damages claim, in the event of death or personal injury caused by a shipping incident, SCENIC shall, within 15 days of the identification of the person entitled to damages, make an advance payment in respect of each person and incident and in the case of death no less than EUR 21 000. The advance payment shall not constitute the recognition of any claim whatsoever. The advance payment may be offset against any subsequent damages payable. It must be refunded to SCENIC if the person who received it is not the person entitled to damages (see Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 392/2009). (b) SCENIC’s liability for the loss of and damage to luggage, mobility aids and other special equipment used by travellers and/or members of their party with reduced mobility shall be excluded if in the case of visible damage the traveller and/or members of their party do not report the damage at the latest on disembarkation and in the case of damage that is not immediately visible no later than 15 days after disembarkation. Written notification of the damage is not required if within the period prescribed the parties have jointly agreed the damage. (c) SCENIC shall not be liable for the loss of or damage to valuables (e.g. money, important documents, negotiable instruments, precious metals, gems, jewellery, artworks, photography and film equipment, portable video systems and mobile devices, such as laptops or tablets, together with the corresponding accessories, etc.) unless they were deposited for safekeeping during carriage.

Such services are bought-in services, where we act merely as agent, or are operated by independent third parties, such as, for example, the provision of goods and services (e.g. excursions, sporting events, exhibitions, visits) during the cruise and as such can be identified by passengers as evidently not part of SCENIC’s travel services. This shall not apply where these third parties must be qualified as SCENIC’s vicarious agents or SCENIC creates the impression that it is the operator of the services provided by the third parties. SCENIC shall be liable however if and to the extent that the damage sustained by the passenger is caused by the breach of notification, information or organisation duties incumbent on us.
