So you’ve always fancied travelling to Antarctica, in the footsteps of some of the greatest explorers. But you’ve also always wanted to see a solar eclipse. Fortunately, aptly named Australian Eclipse Travel is offering a unique combination of cosmic event and epic adventure during its 2021 cruise to Antarctica aboard the 100-passenger Akademik Ioffe (read about our adventures aboard this purpose-built expedition ship here), which will be perfectly positioned to capture the eclipse on December 4th.

Prior to the eclipse, the itinerary will explore the wildlife-rich Falkland Islands and the remote island of South Georgia, both home to a proliferation of unique wildlife and birdlife, including king penguins, elephant seals and leopard seals.
The path of totality for the eclipse lies near the South Orkney Islands, where the Ioffe will be carefully positioned to provide the maximum possible exposure to the eclipse for viewing from large observation decks.
The journey continues south to Antarctica, passing icebergs of all shapes and sizes, with shore excursions accompanied by naturalists, marine biologists, ornithologists and a resident photography professional.
