At Lush Reserve, we believe that extraordinary destinations deserve extraordinary experiences—and there’s no destination quite like Antarctica, the last great frontier of the Earth. If you’re seeking the ultimate combination of adventure, exclusivity, and unmatched luxury, look no further than the Scenic Eclipse, the world’s first discovery yacht, which takes Antarctic exploration to a whole new level.
Here’s why the Scenic Eclipse is the best way to experience Antarctica in true ultra-luxury.
1. Six-Star Luxury Meets Cutting-Edge Exploration
Traveling to Antarctica is already an extraordinary adventure, but doing it aboard the Scenic Eclipse takes it to a level that few have ever experienced. This state-of-the-art vessel combines six-star luxury with advanced exploration technology, offering guests the best of both worlds—adventure and indulgence.
With a focus on intimate, personalized experiences, the Scenic Eclipse accommodates just 200 guests during Antarctic expeditions, ensuring an exclusive and private environment. Unlike traditional cruises, the Scenic Eclipse gives you access to one of the world’s most remote and pristine landscapes while offering all the amenities and services of a luxury resort. From private butler service to world-class dining, this yacht leaves no stone unturned when it comes to pampering its guests.
2. Truly All-Inclusive Luxury
When it comes to ultra-luxury travel, nothing compares to the all-inclusive experience aboard the Scenic Eclipse. Once you step on board, every detail is taken care of—from gourmet dining to limitless premium beverages, everything is included. You can indulge in eight different dining options, including French fine dining, sushi at the elegant Sushi @ Koko’s, or relaxed al fresco meals on deck, each prepared by Michelin-level chefs.
You’ll also have access to an expansive spa, wellness center, and indoor and outdoor plunge pools, offering the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Whether you’re unwinding in your luxurious suite or enjoying a tailored shore excursion, the Scenic Eclipse ensures that every part of your journey is seamless and stress-free.
3. Unrivaled Exploration Capabilities
What makes the Scenic Eclipse truly stand out is its cutting-edge exploration technology. Unlike traditional luxury cruises, this vessel is designed for polar exploration, giving you the chance to witness the majesty of Antarctica up close like never before. The yacht is equipped with a reinforced hull for navigating through thick ice, making it capable of exploring even the most remote parts of the Antarctic Peninsula.
But it doesn’t stop there—Scenic Eclipse takes exploration to new heights (literally) with two on-board helicopters, offering breathtaking aerial views of glaciers, icebergs, and wildlife. For those looking to dive deeper, the yacht also features a custom-designed submarine, the Scenic Neptune, allowing guests to explore the underwater world of Antarctica—a rare opportunity to see marine life that few will ever encounter.
4. Exclusive Shore Excursions and Expert Guides
Antarctica is a land of extremes, and the Scenic Eclipse ensures you can experience it to the fullest. With a 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio, you’ll receive personalized attention from expert guides and crew members who are passionate about polar exploration. From naturalists and marine biologists to polar historians and geologists, these professionals provide a deeper understanding of Antarctica’s unique environment and wildlife.
The yacht’s fleet of Zodiacs and kayaks allow guests to get closer to the awe-inspiring landscape, offering thrilling shore excursions. Imagine kayaking among icebergs, hiking across untouched snowfields, or observing colonies of penguins in their natural habitat—all while being guided by experts who ensure your safety and comfort.
5. Sustainability at the Forefront
The Scenic Eclipse is not only a luxurious way to travel but also one of the most environmentally conscious vessels exploring Antarctica. With sustainability at its core, the yacht is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to minimize its environmental impact. This includes an advanced propulsion system that significantly reduces emissions, and an anchor-less mooring system to protect fragile ecosystems.
Scenic’s commitment to responsible travel ensures that you can explore the pristine wilderness of Antarctica with peace of mind, knowing that your journey is designed to preserve and protect this unique environment for future generations.
6. Luxurious Suites with Unparalleled Views
Your suite aboard the Scenic Eclipse is more than just a place to rest—it’s a private sanctuary with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer unobstructed views of the Antarctic landscape. Each suite comes with a private verandah, allowing you to take in the breathtaking surroundings in complete privacy and comfort.
From the spacious Verandah Suites to the ultra-luxurious Owner’s Penthouse, every suite is designed with sophisticated elegance and features premium materials, luxurious bedding, and a personalized butler service. The bathrooms are equally opulent, with large, spa-like spaces to relax after a day of exploration.
7. Unforgettable Wildlife Encounters
Antarctica is one of the most remote and wildlife-rich regions on the planet, offering unforgettable encounters with some of the world’s most incredible animals. During your Scenic Eclipse journey, you’ll have the chance to observe species like penguins, seals, whales, and seabirds in their natural habitat.
With expert guides at your side, every encounter is a learning experience, as you gain a deeper appreciation for the wildlife that thrives in this extreme environment.
