Thursday - Dec 3, 2026
Day 1
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Welcome to Buenos Aires, where you'll have an overnight hotel stay. Perhaps plan to spend some time in the city, nicknamed the 'Paris of South America'. Resplendent with Belle Epoque buildings, sidewalk cafes, and green spaces, there's the fiery passion of Latin America - a collective love for football, flame-cooked meats (asado), and the tango. Some of the highlights are La Boca, a colorful, creative mecca with a must-do art walk, and San Telmo, a former aristocratic neighborhood that was abandoned during a 19th-century epidemic. Mansions were turned into conventillos (shared housing), boutique hotels, antique shops, and tango clubs, exuding a captivating bohemian vibe. ... Read More

Day 5
Cruising Antarctica, Antarctica
The Weddell Sea is as mesmerizing as it is extreme.

Today, it's one of the most pristine and intact ecosystems on Earth. Onboard Scenic Eclipse, you'll comfortably wind your way through dense ice floes and tabular icebergs, enjoying the eerie stillness and grandeur. From your verandah, listen for the haunting call of the Weddell seal welcoming you to their kingdom. They are one of the toughest mammals on the planet, permanently living further south than any other mammal. Discovery: Daily experiences may include cruising on Zodiacs, stepping ashore to view vast penguin rookeries or historic huts, and kayaking around icebergs. Wherever your voyage takes you, you will have countless "pinch me" moments. Inclusions: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. ... Read More

Portal Point - a former British refuge hut - may be a potential landing site during your voyage. Walk up to the hut and look back over the ice-filled ocean towards the ship. Or you may visit Deception Island as part of your itinerary. Nestled in the South Shetland Islands archipelago, it is one of the only places in the world that ships can sail directly into the center of a submerged caldera of an active volcano. With her world-class design and state-of-the-art technology, Scenic Eclipse can squeeze through a rocky gap into the horseshoe-shaped harbor. The island is also home to a few small scientific outposts and hundreds of thousands of chinstrap penguins. Tonight could be the night you enjoy Sushi @ Koko's with your new friends.

Cruising Antarctica, Antarctica
Be sure to pack your swimming costume because you could be going for a swim today. For many, the polar plunge is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a rite of passage on an expedition to Antarctica. Once throughout your voyage, Scenic Eclipse will stop, and the team will set up the marina ready for the brave people who want to jump into the freezing Antarctic waters. Excitement will spread through the Discovery Yacht, and you will start hearing the contagious nervous laughter. As you stand on the edge, ready to jump, you will feel the adrenaline rush while you second-guess whether this is a good idea. When you jump, the moment before you hit the water will feel like it goes forever, but soon, an invigorating, exciting, and surprisingly refreshing sensation will take over. If you choose to skip the polar plunge, make sure you find a good viewing location as you feel the chills of everyone coming out of the water.
