Film Features Scenic Eclipse Exploring the White Continent
Warner Bros. Discovery in mid-May will debut a new docu-series, “Maritime Masters: Expedition Antarctica,” showcasing the Scenic Eclipse as it visits the White Continent.
The series, which will be seen on the Discovery Channel, provides an insider’s view of all areas of the ship, its staff, cuisine, amenities and more.
Scenic Eclipse entered service in 2019 and accommodates 228 people, although polar region cruises are limited to 200 guests. The ship offers an immersive polar experience with helicopter and submarine tours, Zodiac excursions, and a team of destination and adventure experts who guide cruisers along the journeys.

A sister ship, Scenic Eclipse II, made her debut on April 13, 2023, after delivery from the 3. Maj Shipyard in Rijeka, Croatia. She currently is operating her maiden voyage from Lisbon to Barcelona. Scenic Eclipse II will spend the summer cruising the Mediterranean and the fall in the British Isles.
Expedition-style cruising is a growing industry niche, offering unique educational voyages and professional guides who are experts in specific destinations. Several luxury lines in recent years have expanded their fleets to include vessels that can navigate the Arctic and Antarctica regions.
“We are delighted Warner Bros. Discovery has chosen Scenic Eclipse to showcase the benchmark in ultra-luxury and expedition cruising. With the inaugural voyage of our new Discovery Yacht Scenic Eclipse II on 13 April, this partnership provides the perfect platform for us to share real life insights into our innovative ship designs, exceptional crew and the ultimate guest experiences, with the Warner Bros. Discovery global audience,” said Scenic Group Chairman and Founder Glen Moroney.

“This original ‘Maritime Masters: Expedition Antarctica’ docu-series features a journey narrated via our passionate captains and professional crew, as they deliver unique experiences to the discerning guests. Viewers will gain deep insights into the diverse wildlife, landscapes, challenges and operation of the world’s most advanced discovery yacht,” said Twynam.
