Scenic has released three new Scenic Eclipse II ultra-luxury voyages to the East Antarctic and Ross Sea regions as part of its newly released 2024/25 Antarctica brochure collection.
These itineraries will give guests the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the world’s greatest explorers such as Dr Douglas Mawson, Robert Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton, and are exclusively available to a limited number of guests. With only three departures of 200 guests each per year, including Christmas or the New Year, guests are encouraged to book and plan with the limited-release Special Earlybird offers.
2024/25 will be Scenic’s fifth season in Antarctica, and the three new itineraries that will unlock regions traditionally unexplored and inaccessible to many expeditions cruise lines. Guests will be among the few to discover the far reaches of Antarctica’s southeast, with opportunities to witness seldom-seen landscapes, historical sites and remote Islands teeming with seabirds, penguins, whales and seal species.

“We have introduced these new voyages in response to the demand for exclusive destination experiences in the polar regions,” said Claudius Docekal, Scenic Group Vice President Ocean Deployment. “Scenic Eclipse II will be the newest and most modern ultra-luxury expedition ship operating in remote East Antarctica and the Ross Sea region, setting the benchmark in providing once-in-a-lifetime journeys for our guests.
“We are the only operator to offer an abundance of exploration by helicopter^, submarine^, Zodiac, kayak and stand-up paddleboard. Guests can enjoy exclusive experiences such as exploring the McMurdo Dry Valleys, a landscape that has been compared to the surface of Mars and is only accessible by helicopter^.”
