Luxury expedition ship Scenic Eclipse will feature in two upcoming episodes of Channel 5’s Cruising with Susan Calman this February.
The episodes will chronicle Scottish comedian Susan Calman’s once-in-a-lifetime journey to Antarctica aboard the 228-guest luxury vessel. From braving the Drake Passage to experiencing close encounters with the incredible wildlife of the White Continent, the episodes will highlight the extraordinary experiences offered by Scenic Ocean Cruises on their signature 12-night ‘Antarctica in Depth’ itinerary.
Now in its third season, Cruising with Susan Calman continues to shine a spotlight on some of cruising’s biggest names, along with a few best-kept secrets. Over the past four weeks, we’ve had episodes focused on Carnival Cruise Line, Riviera’s Douro river cruises, and a two-part look at Windstar Cruises’ legendary Tahiti programme.
Scenic Eclipse – Antarctica in Depth
While various cruise lines offer Antarctica itineraries, we’ve always believed that Scenic stands out in its class. Setting sail roundtrip from Ushuaia, the 12-night Antarctica in Depth voyage includes six full days of exploration.
Each journey, led by the Scenic Eclipse Discovery Team, treats guests to a packed activity programme. This includes Zodiac excursions, shoreside landings, and hikes. For those seeking more adventure, there’s the option of a helicopter ride or a journey below the waves in the custom-built submarine Scenic Neptune.
When not exploring ashore, the Scenic Eclipse serves as a sanctuary of six-star relaxation. Boasting stunning all-suite accommodations, a full-service spa, and world-class dining, the yacht truly distinguishes itself. Perhaps best of all, nearly every aspect of your experience is included in the fare.
As seen on Maritime Masters
Of course, Scenic Eclipse is no stranger to the spotlight. Last year, the Discovery Channel offered viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the operations of The World’s First Discovery Yacht as it journeyed from Mexico to Antarctica. The high-production series, ‘Maritime Masters: Expedition Antarctica,’ offered a fantastic insight into the meticulous efforts of the crew to ensure these expeditions operate seamlessly.
(If you missed watching this fantastic programme last year, you can watch every episode on YouTube).
