Getaway airs Saturdays 5.30pm on Channel 9. After exploring the wonders of Antarctica, the Discovery Yacht Scenic Eclipse reached the wildlife mecca of South Georgia. Tina was excited to wake up in her spacious suite, pull back the curtains and see penguins, petrels and seals, all from her private veranda! How fantastic to be in one of the most remote places on the planet but still have all the luxury trimmings at your fingertips. The incredible scenery outside is matched by the spacious interiors, and enhanced by the 6-star service including butlers for every suite and an open bridge policy which gives guests a chance to fully immerse themselves in the exploration experience. South Georgia has a rich history and mind-boggling numbers of penguins, fur seals and elephant seals. At the height of the breeding season the island has the greatest density of wildlife on earth! At Salisbury Plain, on the north coast, Tina was blown away by the dramatic surroundings and the cacophony produced by a colony of King penguins. Standing right there amongst it all she felt extremely privileged to be visiting such untouched wilderness. While the days are filled with wildlife and wonderful sights, the nights offer the ultimate culinary journey. With up to 10 dining experiences on board boasting an impressive selection of cuisines, guests are spoiled with choice, from fine dining to casual cafe fare. Night Market, a private and intimate affair for only 8 guests, offers delicious contemporary Asian fusion flavours. At Fortuna Bay, Tina watched on as fur seal pups played on the rocky beach and in the shallows of the crystal-clear water. With a fleet of zodiacs on board, guests have access to the most secluded places and the rare chance to see nature and wildlife up-close. It’s a photographer's paradise and the Scenic Eclipse Specialist Polar Discovery Team is always there to guide you with stories about the locations, and facts on the resident wildlife.
