At North South Voyages, we invite you to experience Mawson’s Antarctica – Along the East Coastlike never before — raw, remote, and truly awe-inspiring.
This life-changing Expedition Voyage to the rarely visited East Coast reveals the continent in its most extreme and spectacular form, where nature reigns and human presence is scarce. With us, you’ll immerse yourself in vast, ice-clad landscapes, encounter curious penguins, and witness majestic whales in one of the most pristine and untouched environments on Earth.

Antarctica has long captivated the hearts of explorers. The isolated East Coast — steeped in exploration history — was brought to global attention by legendary Australian explorer Sir Douglas Mawson. On this exclusive journey, North South Voyages invites you to follow in his footsteps aboard the Scenic Eclipse II, a 6-star ultra-luxury discovery yacht, purpose-built for navigating remote polar regions in exceptional comfort and style.

A true highlight of this voyage is an exclusive helicopter excursion to Cape Denison, where you’ll visit Mawson’s historic huts — a rarely accessed site of deep historical significance.

While onboard, enjoy world-class service, fine dining, a 550m² spa sanctuary, and insights from expert guides, including guest conservationists from the Mawson’s Huts Foundation and seabird researchers led by Dr. Louise Emmerson of the Australian Antarctic Division. Every detail of the journey is designed to elevate your sense of wonder, comfort, and connection with this extraordinary destination.

This is more than a voyage — it’s an expedition of discovery, history, and wildlife. Let North South Voyages be your guide to one of Earth’s final frontiers.
