Onboard Scenic With Us...

Antarctica has been on our bucket list for an (ice)age and it didn’t disappoint. We joined the Scenic Eclipse new luxury private expedition yacht in Ushuaia, the southernmost tip of South America and the southernmost port, fondly known as The End of The World.

Scenic Eclipse is a 6-star ultra luxury discovery yacht with state-of-the-art comforts and the latest stabiliser systems ensuring the smoothest journey possible. As we were to navigate the notoriously rough Drakes Passage with swells of up to 10 metres, we were very grateful to be onboard the worlds’ leading latest new built, wizard of a ship!

Scenic Eclipse has a Capacity of 228 with crew of 178 but for the Antarctic route they limit themselves to 200 lucky passengers. The crew to guest ratio guarantees sublime personal comfort and impeccable service. The latest GPS Dynamic Positioning also means the ship maintains its location without dropping anchor onto sensitive sea beds, thereby protecting the fragile environment. This ships environmental credentials and capabilities are important for the environmentalist, wildlife, and expedition team onboard.

We expected first class service and total luxury and that is exactly what we experienced.” ~ Karen & James
