Scenic Tours, Australia’s leading and first tour operator to privately charter a luxury small ship to Antarctica, has launched its 2015 Antarctica program which not only sees the addition of a third private charter but also a number of new itineraries and extensions.
Due to overwhelming demand, Scenic will be operating three private charters to Antarctica in 2016 on 5-star luxury small ships, Le Boréal and Le Lyrial – the newest and the first all-balcony stateroom and suite ships to cruise to Antarctica. Travelling with up to 200 like-minded Scenic guests, all guests can enjoy complimentary beverages all day every day in 2016.
New itineraries now showcase even more of South America in combination with an Antarctic cruise. This expanded touring program includes a three night stay at Iguazú Falls on the Taste of Brazil tour, two new itineraries that take in the Amazon or the Galápagos Islands, plus all Peru itineraries now include a visit to the floating islands of Lake Titicaca.
For those wanting to continue their exploration of the Southern Ocean on a small ship luxury cruise in small groups of up to 30 Scenic guests, there are two new destinations – the intriguing island of South Georgia which offers unprecedented wildlife viewing, or the spectacular Chilean Fjords; home to the biggest glaciers in the Southern Hemisphere.
Louise Hill, Product Manager for Antarctica, commented: “Antarctica continues to be one of the most sought after destinations and the extraordinary response we have had year on year since we launched our luxury private charters in 2014, is proof of that. We are delighted to be chartering Le Boréal and Le Lyrial for three cruises in 2016 and with only 200 guests on each cruise we anticipate the 2016 season to sell out extremely fast.”
Scenic Tours is offering some fantastic new Earlybird offers for bookings made by 15 December 2014, including a saving of up to $2,500 per couple with an airfare credit plus a further $2,000 airfare credit for all suite upgrades. Solo traveller offers and business class upgrades are also available.
