Antarctica's Ross Sea: Majestic Ice & Wildlife
The White Continent has piqued the imagination of explorers for centuries. Let it inspire yours when you voyage to East Antarctica’s Ross Sea aboard Scenic Eclipse, witnessing the whales, orcas, penguins and seals, the icebergs and glaciers that fascinated Shackleton and Scott all those years ago – and still leave you lost for words today.
Unlike anything you have experienced before, an expedition to Antarctica’s Ross Sea Region on board Scenic Eclipse will leave you breathless. End-of-the-Earth landscapes, gem-like glaciers, immense icebergs and jagged mountain ranges are the setting for some of the planet’s most prolific wildlife displays, whether whales and orcas, penguins and seals or migratory seabirds. This is nature writ large. Over 24 days, you’ll follow in the footsteps of some of the world’s greatest explorers. But unlike those early pioneers, you’ll be enjoying the spine-tingling outlook from the comforts of Scenic Eclipse, in 6-star ultra-luxury. The itinerary provided is an example of what you may experience. Antarctica is an incredible destination, and you will be exposed to the unpredictability of the region. The expert team on board will work with the weather and ice conditions to deliver a wonderous voyage.
