Scenic Releases New South America Land Tours On Antarctica Itineraries

 
All-inclusive luxury cruise line, Scenic, has unveiled three new land tours with the release of its 2022/23 Antarctica programme.

The tours in Argentina, Peru and Chile can be added to Antarctica voyages on board the world’s first Discovery Yacht, Scenic Eclipse – giving guests a more in-depth immersion into the stunning landscapes, history and culture of South America.

The nine-day Glaciers & Wilderness – Argentinean Patagonia tour will take guests from El Calafate to El Chaltén on a journey through untouched landscapes and spectacular wild scenes. The highlight of the trip is an overnight stay at explora El Chaltén. Located amidst a private natural reserve with views of the Electric Valley and the Marconi Glacier, where there is an exclusive lodge experience for guests travelling with Scenic, which is the first of its kind in the region and offers breath-taking views.

In Chile, the eight-day Wild Landscapes of Atacama tour sees guests explore the natural landscapes in search of wildlife while staying in all-inclusive luxury.
