Embark on a life changing expedition with this Beyond the Antarctic Circle itinerary to Antarctica, the southernmost continent and the world’s final frontier. Enter the formidable frozen landscape made up of never-ending icefields, towering rock faces, snow-capped peaks, immense glaciers, glistening blue icebergs, and an incredible amount of unperturbed wildlife.
A true immersion into Antarctica will see you crossing the Antarctic Circle beyond 66°33” South, to the region officially known as ‘The Antarctic’, a place where a mid-summer day lasts 24 hours. As your Antarctic Circle cruise threads its way through the icy waterways in the Weddell Sea, you will find yourself lost for words at the majestic scenery that envelops you. Finally, at landfall, the sight of large bustling penguin rookeries and lazing seal colonies will welcome you, as pods of whales breach off the shore and pristine snow petrels soar above.
Scenic operates this itinerary on their brand new, purpose built luxury expedition ship the Scenic Eclipse. Designed to deliver the ultimate experience of a lifetime for only 200 guests in Antarctica, Scenic Eclipse marries luxury, discovery and safety while giving guests the opportunity to explore above and beyond what was previously imaginable. Featuring submarine and helicopter excursions in addition to their included landings mean guests have the option to explore Antarctica like never before.
