Imagine being surrounded by 150,000 King penguins in South Georgia. Playful sea lions, fur and elephant seals also thrive in the “Galapagos of the Southern Ocean”. Discover the Falkland Islands’ storied wartime history. Explore the lesser-visited Weddell Sea, famous for its massive tabular icebergs, and Snow Hill Island’s Emperor penguin colony, which can be witnessed via an exclusive helicopter excursion at the start of the season^. Pushing further south than most expedition ships, enjoy an immersive journey to the rarely visited Marguerite Bay, Lemaire Channel, and Crystal Sound to celebrate crossing the Antarctic Circle. The World’s First Discovery Yachts’ innovative technology, combined with the benefits of only up to 200 guests, delivers the ultimate Antarctic experience. Whether you wish to see the Peninsula’s highlights or to venture further into remote regions, there’s a Scenic Eclipse voyage to suit your expedition dreams. From South Georgia’s wildlife sanctuary to the historical Falkland Islands, prepare to be amazed. Why numbers matter IAATO limits visitors on shore to 100 at a time and also restricts ships over 200 guests from reaching several sights. With only 200 guests, on Scenic Eclipse you will enjoy multiple landings each day and more time on shore. ^Flights on board our two helicopters are at additional cost, subject to regulatory approval, availability, weight restrictions, medical approval and weather and ice conditions. Helicopters are not available in South Georgia.
