The Scenic Eclipse twins are scheduled to rendezvous for the second time — the first occurred in the Arctic in August — in Marguerite Bay. This will take place during Scenic Eclipse's Jan. 7 'Antarctica in Depth,' a 13-day sailing, and Scenic Eclipse II's Jan. 8 'Beyond the Antarctic Circle,' a 15-day trip.

A meet-up will occur again during the Jan. 18 (Scenic Eclipse) and Jan. 21 sailings of the same itineraries.

A limited number of suites are available on both yachts at the reduced price.

'An experience that may never be replicated'

'Bringing both ships together will be a historic moment, not only for Scenic, but for every guest and crew to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime experience,' according to Jason Flesher, director of discovery operations, Scenic Group. 'We expect to have all the Zodiacs, kayaks, paddleboards, submersibles and helicopters together, side by side in one of the most remote and magnificent places on the planet — an experience that may never be replicated.'

Marguerite Bay is known for its abundance of icebergs and intense blue waters as well as leopard seals, adelie penguins and humpback whales.

Plans for 'armada' photo opp and Zodiac regatta

Plans are afoot for a photo opportunity showcasing the armada of passengers in all 24 Zodiacs together, the rest on the ships' bows, four helicopters flying, plus all the kayaks and paddleboards together. And, if the weather allows, a Zodiac regatta, pitting yacht against yacht.
