Scenic Eclipse
A day in the life in the Arctic The Arctic is a rare opportunity to escape into the immensity of this vast wilderness, from the majestic fjords of Norway and the Svalbard Archipelago to Greenland’s glaciers and the geology of Iceland.

Morning exploration
Awaken
Excitement builds as you pull 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 Zodiac cruise beneath the limestone cliffs of Prince Leopold Island bird sanctuary on Canada’s Northwest Passage, where millions of seabirds nest. Or land and carefully approach a walrus haulout in Spitsbergen, a Chukchi village in Siberia or thermal springs in Iceland.
It’s early as you step from your cosy Scenic Slumber Bed to your suite’s floor to ceiling window. Morning sunlight dances across rock walls. Whether in the Norwegian fjords or those of East Greenland, your butler serves a coffee of your choice as you step out onto your private verandah to breathe in pure wilderness. In the Arctic, every day brings new wonder.
Morning
Late morning
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 Leader are alert to changing opportunities – from beluga whales suddenly appearing, to the ‘crack!’ of glacier fronts calving – 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. Given the range of on board expertise, our Discovery Team can tailor each excursion to your interests.
