Experience a different side
of Antarctica
We invite you to join us on a journey of a lifetime to the heart of East Antarctica and the awe-inspiring Ross Sea. Walk in the footsteps of legendary explorers like Mawson, Scott, and Shackleton, and be inspired by this remote and seldom travelled region.
This is Antarctica at its most extreme and breathtaking – where landscapes unfold on an unimaginable scale. Where you can explore the otherworldly McMurdo Dry Valleys, a place like no other on Earth^.
You’ll also have the opportunity encounter the region’s unique wildlife, from the majestic Emperor penguins to the elusive Antarctic blue whale and the formidable Ross Sea orca. With only three exclusive departures remaining from December 2025 to February 2026, this is your time to experience a side of Antarctica few will ever see.
Discover Antarctica
from Australia and NZ
Unlike the Antarctic Peninsula, which requires several days of travel to get to Ushuaia before heading south, voyages to East Antarctica depart directly from Hobart, Queenstown, and Timaru (via Christchurch).
This close-to-home opportunity means you can avoid jet lag and swap long flights with time to relax and indulge in comfort on board Scenic Eclipse II.
Choose from the Mawson’s Antarctica departure in December 2025 or one of the two Ross Sea voyages in January and February 2026.
Each offering enriching visits to unique areas with exclusive experiences to immerse in fascinating explorer history, incredible wildlife, and one-of-a-kind landscapes.
