Antarctic Expedition Cruises

With Ice Class 1A Super (Polar Class 6), the highest of any luxury vessel, Scenic Eclipse is well-equipped to venture out into the far reaches of Antarctica.

Taking with it 193 crew, Scenic Eclipse has a 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio, which is perfect for an ultra-indulgent, discovery-focused experience. Our expedition team alone has 16 dedicated members, and is led by our Discovery Team Leader, Kara Weller. Kara is a qualified and highly-experienced biologist, specialising in the polar regions for over 20 years.

With Kara’s team by your side, you can expect to experience up-close, unforgettable Antarctic experiences that will make memories lasting a lifetime.

Being able to visit Antarctica is one thing, but to experience its majesty from the skies, up above in Scenic Eclipse’s on board Airbus EC-130-T2 helicopters, is something else entirely. Guests will also have the chance to dive deep underwater in the World’s First Discovery Yacht’s U-Boat Worx Cruise Submarine 7, seeing the amazing polar region from a very different perspective. Seating up to six people, and built with an optimal viewing experience as a focus, our optional submarine excursions take this already once-in-a-lifetime experience to new levels of ultra-exclusivity.

*Helicopter and submarine activities are weather permitting, may incur additional costs and are subject to availability.

Having access to 90 on board catering staff means that guests are never left short of world-class dining options. From Lumière, Scenic Eclipse’s elegant French restaurant, through to Koko’s delectable Asian fusion and the expansive, spacious, 104-capacity à la carte restaurant, Elements, you can expect to have access to a wide range of premium cuisine each and every night.

Book your 6-star adventure of a lifetime with Scenic Eclipse, and make memories you’ll never forget!
