Sailing across the famed Drake Passage. We adjust to the rhythm of the ocean and explore the yacht's amenities — 9 restaurants, bars and lounges, Senses Spa. The expedition team shares plans for the landings during a presentation in the theatre.
Scenic Eclipse
Today we enter Antarctic waters — on the observation deck we watch for the first iceberg and the wandering albatross. In the evening — New Year 2027 celebration with an exquisite gala dinner on Argentine time.
Scenic Eclipse
Six days in Antarctica. Icebergs of every shape and size, ice mountains, whales and seals on ice floes. Zodiac landings, kayaking, and paddleboarding. On one of the days — a complimentary helicopter flight or a submersible dive. An opportunity for a polar plunge — a rite of passage for travellers to Antarctica.
Scenic Eclipse
Heading back to Ushuaia. We continue watching whales and seabirds from the deck. The crew hosts onboard activities that bring the journey back to life. On the final evening — a farewell captain's dinner.
Scenic Eclipse
We say goodbye to the crew and disembark after breakfast. Flight to Buenos Aires and onward home — taking with us memories of two New Year celebrations in Antarctica.
