Scenic Eclipse Submarine and Helicopters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Scenic Eclipse<\/a> submarine and helicopters stand out as two of the most distinctive features in expedition cruising today. Together, they allow guests to explore polar regions both above and below the surface, delivering perspectives that very few ships in the world can offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many travellers, these capabilities become the deciding factor when choosing Scenic Eclipse. Not only do they enhance an already exceptional expedition cruise, but they also create a far more immersive experience. As a result, guests gain access to viewpoints of the polar regions that only a handful of travellers will ever encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
