Now guys Im a scenic tragic with almost all of my cruising experience on Scenic river boats with this being the first on their "mega " yacht Eclipse.
Let me say from the outset it looks spectacular with an outstanding interior finish ,paintings and general overall "vibe" ( aussie expression for the feeling of the thing)

The destinations themselves, the Falklands, South Georgia, and the Antarctic ...
We had sailed on the Scenic Pearl river cruise and it was wonderful so we were anxious to try the Scenic Eclipse. We were scheduled for the cruise in 2018 but the ship did not get built in time. We then rebooked for the 2019 cruise. As on the river cruise the staff was professional and friendly. The discovery team (expedition team) did a great job of educating us about the areas we were visiting ...
