Embrace the beauty of the polar south, a world where thunderous calving booms in ice-gripped bays and wildlife is abundant and unconcerned by human presence. With up to just 200 guests on board, Scenic Eclipse offers unrivalled access to the region’s remotest corners, maximising your time onshore with multiple landings. Experience Discovery excursions by Zodiac, a comprehensive kayaking program and a wealth of engaging on board lectures – it’s truly all-inclusive ultra-luxury, in a class of its own.
Pristine landscapes of snow and ice are punctuated by colonies of cheeky penguins and curious seals. Kayak or stand-up paddleboard crystal-clear waters or gaze out into crystalline vistas from your private verandah.
Once the go-to for former explorers, now an unparalleled wildlife sanctuary. Here you’ll have the chance to see one of Antarctica’s most famous residents, the king penguin. The landscape dominated by mountain peaks and rich in ancient glaciers is also a highlight.
Behold a world almost entirely covered in thick, permanent ice, and along the coastline, breeding colonies of White Continent wildlife. Custom built to navigate ice-choked waters, Scenic Eclipse II will take you into this seldom-explored side of Antarctica.
Welcome to one of the richest marine ecosystems in the world, a breeding ground for whales, home to countless colonies of penguins and seals. Dive below by submersible on board Scenic Neptune II^, capable of depths of up to 200 metres.
In Antarctica, the difference is in the details. Scenic Eclipse has been custom designed for unrivalled access to the most remote and remarkable landing sites in this region, including full access in South Georgia. With site landings restricted to only 100 people at a time, we limit our on board guest numbers to 200. Scenic Eclipse guests enjoy multiple landings each day, and extended time at each site. Ensuring we take guests further than others.
Whether you’re stepping onto the White Continent for the first time or the third, there is a truly all-inclusive ultra-luxury Scenic Eclipse Expedition Voyage to suit your every polar dream and preference. Hike past penguin rookeries, visit working scientific bases or explore crystalline ice formations with our Zodiacs. Photography with your expert Discovery Team is unmatched; there could be a visit to Lemaire Channel, celebrated for its spectacular scenery, or a penguin-covered iceberg floating by.
With her sleek design, Polar Class 6 rating and customised stabilisers, Scenic Eclipse safely navigates waters well beyond the capabilities of others to reach the most remote parts of the continent. Consider it the perfect marriage between state-of-the-art technology and limitless grandeur enabling you to traverse the extreme Southern Ocean in style and ultimate comfort.
Experience the theatrics of wildlife at play; gentoo penguins leaping alongside your kayak, a humpback advancing closer to your Zodiac and Antarctic fur seals lazily waving their salutations. On foot, by steady oar or perhaps deep within the confines of our opulent offering, you’ll have every opportunity to witness Antarctica’s wildlife in their ice-dusted element, thus forging memories for a lifetime.
Unleash your inner explorer and join enthusiastic Discovery Team historians on once-in-a-lifetime expeditions to scientific outposts and explorers’ camps perfectly preserved by the Antarctic chill. From Shackleton’s hut on Ross Island and his grave at Grytviken, to abandoned whaling stations on South Georgia and Carsten Borchgrevink’s hut at Cape Adare, there’s no better opportunity to embrace the ‘Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration’.
Soar above the remotest parts of East Antarctica by helicopter^, dive below the surface by submersible^ where few have gone before, and take in the silence by kayak. Setting the benchmark in 6-star, ultra-luxury cruising, Scenic Eclipse enables unrivalled exploration of each destination.
Antarctica guards its secrets in an icy grip for all but five magical months. Here are some seasonal highlights to help you plan which voyage to choose:
October – December
On the Antarctic Peninsula, Spring is a favourite time for many, especially photographers, who delight in pristine snowscapes. Flightsee^ above the magnificent Lemaire Channel and submerge to the rarely seen sea floor in our custom-built submersible^
By November in Antarctica, watch penguins begin courting, nest-building and egg incubation. Mid-to-late December, chicks hatch to be fed by parents sharing fishing and feeding duties. Minkes, humpbacks and southern right whales arrive to feed beneath near 24-hours of daylight.
On South Georgia, male fur and elephant seals battle to create and protect their harems. King penguins balance eggs on their feet and albatross reveal their gawky, gorgeous chicks.
January – Early February
Peak season on the Antarctic Peninsula sees rookeries full of chicks and sunlight is at its peak. 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.
On South Georgia, penguin chicks almost as big as their parents need constant feeding and are old enough to play with juvenile seals. Long days continue and temperatures rise above 5°C, the warmest of the year. Almost entirely covered in thick, permanent ice, East Antarctica and the Ross Sea region are only accessible from late December into January, which means three exclusive departures each season.
Late February – Early March
As autumn reaches Antarctica, cormorant chicks bravely begin to fly and whales group up for their migration north to breeding grounds. Brilliant sunsets herald nightfall, patches of sea freeze, courting leopard seals captivate with eerie songs and the last gentoo penguins are chased 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 pack beaches while newly discovered Type D orcas and elusive sperm whales pass nearby.
^Flights on board our two helicopters and submersible are at an additional cost, subject to regulatory approval, availability, weight restrictions, medical approval and weather and ice conditions. Helicopters are unable to operate in South Georgia. ^Submersible at an additional cost, subject to regulatory approval, availability, weight restrictions, medical approval and weather and ice conditions.

Where the ocean meets the outback, the Kimberley is world-renowned for its rugged beauty, natural wonders and sacred rock art. Each journey offers an abundance of Scenic Discovery activities that will unlock the exceptional natural wonders of this unique region. Experience the famous phenomenon of the Horizontal Falls — and take to the sky for unrivalled views on board a Scenic Eclipse helicopter^ Witness the marvel of Montgomery Reef, which appears to rise from the sea when the tide drops rapidly. Each day is an opportunity for once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
Stretching across two states from New South Wales to Queensland, Australia’s east coast is home to two World Heritage-listed sites: Fraser Island (K’gari), the largest sand island in the world, and the Great Barrier Reef, the most extensive living structure on Earth. The expert Discovery Team will reveal the true glory of the iconic reef’s complex ecosystem. Comprising of 3,000 coral reefs, 600 islands, 300 coral cays and 2,000 species of fish, whales and dolphins, it’s an astonishing
place that should be explored with the region’s top specialists and marine biologists. Discover the Whitsundays, a jaw-dropping archipelago of 74 islands. Spend a decadent afternoon on Whitehaven, which is sure to become your new favourite beach. Lounge around on Lizard Island’s pure white sands, where giant clam gardens are within snorkelling distance of the shore. When you think you’ve seen it all, we’ll take you to idyllic places that others haven’t even heard of.
Scenic Eclipse has been custom designed for unrivalled access to smaller waterways that larger cruise ships can’t reach, including World Heritage-listed site Fiordland National Park. Including Dusky, Doubtful and Milford Sound, experience the majestic scenery,
seamlessly sailing past mountainous postcard views and waterfalls as high as 1,000 metres that only multiply in their magnificence as it rains. The on board Swarovski Telescopes in the Observation Lounge and binoculars in each suite are there to help you get a closer look at New Zealand’s incredible flora and fauna.
Your Discovery voyage is also a journey through the region’s authentic culture. In Australia, gain insights into traditional life, from native food to rock art, storytelling, and bush remedies, along with sacred smoking ceremonies. Hear stories of how knowledge is passed onto each generation of the world’s oldest living culture. In New Zealand, experience the power and hospitality of the Maori culture which has become part of the country’s allure.

Spanning a quarter of the globe, the Pacific Islands are home to around 40,000 islands and some of the most isolated communities in the world. Discover this region’s natural beauty and cultural diversity in 6-star ultra-luxury as the Discovery Team guides you through remarkable experiences. Kayak and stand-up paddleboard over crystal clear waters, get a bird’s-eye view from our on board helicopter^ and see what lies below the surface on a snorkelling excursion or in our custom-built submersible^.
Spanning across the equator, the Indonesian archipelago has around 17,000 islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans, including the Spice Islands, Bali and Komodo Island, where your Discovery Team can introduce you to the world’s largest lizard.
A pristine island paradise in the West Papua Province, Raja Ampat is where some of the world’s most diverse coral reef and fish life, including around 75% of the world’s species, can be found between stunning rock islets and thick jungles.
In the middle of the Pacific, this French territory is a memorable mix of French and Melanesian cultures. It is where you can swim, snorkel and possibly even dive below the horizon by submersible^ in World Heritage-listed lagoons and coral reefs.
They may have around 1,000 islands, but with most of the population living on just six of them, the Solomon Islands are one of the wildest destinations in the Pacific. Expect idyllic beaches, wild jungles and blue lagoons with significant pieces of World War II history.
The delights of sailing the Pacific Islands on Scenic Eclipse, The World’s First Discovery Yachts™, goes beyond the refined elegance of the ship. With up to just 228 guests, you will spend more time onshore, enjoying more intimate experiences and more opportunities for helicopter^ and submersible^ excursions. Take advantage of the all-inclusive experiences like kayaking«, stand-up paddleboarding«, snorkelling and Zodiac excursions before returning to your ultra-luxury yacht to relax by the Vitality Pools, rejuvenate at the spa or indulge at your choice of dining venue or bar.
The Pacific is home to atolls and rainforests that have remained mostly untouched by human life and include a number of World Heritage-listed sites and biosphere reserves. As you sail through fragile ecosystems, rest assured that Scenic Eclipse’s GPS Dynamic Positioning will enable her to maintain location without dropping anchors onto sensitive coral reefs and seabeds, while the Azipod propulsion systems deliver the lowest noise and vibration levels possible to ensure minimal disturbance to the marine and wildlife that you’ll be seeing first hand.
The Pacific Islands archipelago is home to the largest and most diverse population of seabirds in the world, including the vulnerable fairy tern and masked, red-footed and brown boobies, while the abundance of marine life includes whales, dugongs, sharks and sea turtles. Our Discovery Team experts lead lectures and education programs about the wildlife you’ll encounter on your journey, and the Swarovski telescopes in the Observation Lounge and on the Observation Deck allow for closer inspections when you spot something special.
The history of the Pacific Islands dates back to before written records began with ancient carvings and rock paintings providing some clues. Everywhere we visit has a story, including the Spice Islands – which were once known as the world’s largest source of nutmeg, cloves and pepper – and the Solomon Islands, where some submerged World War II ship and plane wrecks can be seen by snorkellers. Gain a deeper appreciation for the history of the islands during in-depth lectures in our state-of-the-art theatre.
Soft sandy beaches, sparkling lagoons and colourful coral reefs abound in the Pacific. Kayak or stand-up paddleboard along the pristine waters, get a glimpse into the world below with a snorkel, or simply lie down under a palm tree and breathe it all in. Your 6-star sun and sea time continues on board when
you slip into one of your Discovery Yacht’s Vitality Pools and lie back in a cabana, the perfect place to enjoy your favourite afternoon drink. You can even feel the sun on your face and breathe in the salt air on your suite’s verandah as your butler delivers your latest choice from the 24-hour in suite dining menu.
