Antarctica is unlike anywhere else on Earth. In this Season 2 premiere of World’s Greatest Cruises, Lynn Elmhirst journeys to the White Continent aboard Scenic Cruises in search of one of the most elusive birds in the world: the emperor penguin. From crossing the legendary Drake Passage to Zodiac landings among elephant seals and nesting penguins, this expedition combines adventure with refined comfort at sea. With the help of Scenic Eclipse’s Discovery Team and on-board helicopters, the voyage culminates in a rare landing near a remote emperor penguin colony in the Weddell Sea. A colony of emperor penguins, their fluffy grey chicks, and a wildlife encounter that remains one of the rarest experiences on Earth. This is expedition cruising at its most extraordinary.
