Now this is cool!

Float above the ocean. A relaxing moment with a panoramic view awaits you at the Blue Lagoon of our ship, Le Commandant Charcot. After a few laps in its outdoor pool, heated thanks to the energy recovery system, sit comfortably by the fire and enjoy the moment.

Scenic Eclipse just made history in Antarctica.

Guests were taken on the first ever submersible dive within the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. A truly sensational moment.

“We would like to thank the South Georgia Authorities, and our incredible Discovery Team. Without their expertise, this wouldn’t have been possible. They organised all permits, ensured health and safety protocols were followed, and guided guests on a once-in-a-lifetime exceptional experience in Antarctica”.

Scenic Eclipse has once again set the benchmark in unrivalled exploration. What an incredible moment in the most pristine part of the world.
