WHAT TO EXPECT ON ECLIPSE DAY – DECEMBER 4, 2021

by Eclipse Meteorologist Jay Anderson

The 2021 total eclipse over Antarctica and the nearby South Atlantic Ocean presents a challenge for both access and viewing—a challenge that is complicated by the low altitude of the Sun during the magic moments of eclipse.  Those electing to take their chances aboard ship are confronted by statistics marked by very high levels of average cloudiness. Yet, in spite of this pessimistic beginning, the situation for shipboard observers may not be as bleak as the cloud data would suggest. Our position near the start of the eclipse track places us outside the gloomiest parts of the Southern Ocean, at a location where the cloud cover is not as obstinate. Images acquired from orbit over the past 20 years give us some hints of the weather patterns we may encounter, and the movement needed to break into sunshine. By keeping sailing plans flexible and taking advantage of real-time satellite images, as well as hour-by-hour numerical models of the atmosphere, we can use the ship’s mobility to nearly double our chances of seeing the eclipse. Mother Nature still has the stronger hand, but we’ll hope to wrestle a view of the eclipse from her basket.     

-

After the big event, with seabirds wheeling overhead, we continue on toward the Falklands as our onboard experts prepare us for the coming days with presentations on the islands’ unique wildlife and complicated history.

DATE(S): Saturday–Sunday, December 4–5, 2021

MEALS: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner daily

ACCOMMODATION: National Geographic Endurance

The Falklands boast a wide array of seabirds, including albatross and king cormorants, along with large colonies of rockhopper and Magellanic penguins, which nest in burrows in the green tussock grass.

MEALS: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner daily

ACCOMMODATION: National Geographic Endurance

On our final day at sea, enjoy one last chance to view the marine and bird life of these southern waters, then celebrate your epic adventure as we gather for a farewell dinner.

MEALS: Breakfast / Lunch

Optional Add-ons

If you’d prefer to arrive in Buenos Aires a night ahead of your TravelQuest eclipse cruise, we’re reserving a limited number of rooms at the Alvear Icon Hotel (or similar). 


Pricing

TRIP LEVEL

Level 3 – Moderate – Short to long walks over uneven hilly terrain, in easygoing to rugged travel conditions – passing through wet, muddy and snowy environments at varying elevations. Rugged sea conditions are possible. Travelers must be able to negotiate steep gangways, as well as climb into and out of Zodiac boats and kayaks for optional excursions.

Important

  • TravelQuest, working with our partners, makes every effort to follow the published itinerary. However, please keep in mind that it is subject to change depending on weather and other local conditions.
  • Extraordinary adventure is a guarantee every day of this Antarctic eclipse cruise. Flexibility is critical, as the shipboard day-by-day itinerary will likely change, enabling us to take full advantage of rare wildlife sightings, watching whales feed off the bow, or perfect conditions for a late-day kayaking excursion.
  • Viewing a solar eclipse is particularly weather-dependent, and as such, we can offer no guarantee that local conditions will cooperate.

National Geographic Endurance - Welcome!

The all-new National Geographic Endurance (debuting in April 2020) is a next-generation expedition ship, purpose-built for polar navigation. As a fully stabilized, highly strengthened, ice-class Polar Code PC5 (Category A) vessel, it is designed to navigate polar passages year-round, and safely explore unchartered waters, while providing exceptional comfort. Its patented X-BOW® is key to its design; its powerful wave-slicing action provides an extremely smooth ride in even adverse conditions, and reduces spray on deck, for superior observation. She carries a full suite of expedition tools and offers a variety of experience-enhancing amenities.

Special Features

  • Expedition Leader & expert naturalist staff
  • Full-time doctor
  • Undersea specialist
  • Expert photographer
  • Lindblad photo instructor and video chronicler
  • Wellness Specialist
  • Internet café
  • Laundry service
  • Tools for Exploration

 

The luxury of comfort on expedition

National Geographic Endurance comfortably accommodates 126 guests in 69 outside-facing cabins. Cabins are efficiently designed, with sizes ranging from the 140-square-foot solo cabin to the 430-square-foot category 7 suite. Fifty-three of the 69 cabins, including all 12 of the solo cabins, will feature small balconies with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that bring in the spectacular views and ample natural light.

 

 

Comfort & convenience in every room

Every cabin has a large window or balcony, and temperature controls. Bathrooms are modern and stocked with botanically inspired hair products, soap, shower gel, and a hairdryer. Cabins are equipped with expedition command centers with tablets and USB/mobile device docking, TVs, and Wi-Fi connections. 

 

 

 

Deck Plan & Cabin Details

Dining

Food served aboard is fresh, local, delicious, and sourced from suppliers who share our values of sustainable use whenever possible. Meals aboard are almost always served in the dining room, located aft of the lounge deck. When weather conditions allow, lighter fare may be served on the observation deck. There is no assigned seating and our dining room accommodates the entire expedition community. During meals, your expedition leader, naturalists, and any guest speakers aboard will join you. The ship features two restaurants, featuring local, sustainable choices and open seating for flexible, inclusive dining; plus, a Chef’s table for intimate, small group dining. The main restaurant has 270º views, and the Observation deck restaurant features lighter, made-to-order fare.

Public Areas

Public areas include an Observation Lounge with bar, gym, Wellness area, infinity-style outdoor hot tubs, library, main lounge with full-service bar, 24-hour beverage station, state-of-the-art facilities for films, slideshows and presentations, and a photo workshop area; plus, an expedition base with lockers for expedition gear, and an “open bridge” for access to our captain, officers and the art of navigation. The vessel is staffed by our wellness specialists and features a glass-enclosed yoga studio, gym, treatment rooms and spa relaxation area, and high- and low-heat saunas with ocean views.

 

Electronic Charts

An electronic chart showing the ship’s location, course, and speed is almost always on display in the lounge.

Open Bridge

You’ll find our captains are engaged, knowledgeable members of your expedition who are eager to share their passion with you. National Geographic Endurance’s open bridge features comfortable spaces to sit, enjoy the view, drink your morning coffee, or simply chat with the officers.

Expedition Landing Craft

Key to our operation is our fleet of expedition landing craft, which we use to land in places that would otherwise be inaccessible. With 14 of these boats and two loading stations used every time we disembark, we’re able to transfer guests off the ship quickly, so you can be out on adventures, not idly waiting. The expedition landing craft we use are 19 feet long, powered by four-stroke outboard engines, and are capable of comfortably carrying 10-12 people. They are widely recognized as the safest and most versatile small boats afloat.

 

Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)

Capable of reaching 1,000 feet, far beyond the range of any Scuba diver, the ROV allows you to literally view parts of the undersea that are as unexplored as the Moon. Chances are, you, like many of our guests, will be struck by how surprisingly colorful undersea life is in these unlikely places. This glimpse may fundamentally change how you view the ocean!

Kayaks

National Geographic Endurance will be equipped with a fleet of kayaks large enough to ensure everyone who wants to can paddle at every opportunity, conditions permitting. Prior kayaking experience isn’t necessary—many of our guests have their first kayaking experience in extraordinary locations. Our custom-designed floating platform lets us deploy kayaks from the ship, or any location we want—including far from shore. Kayakers are usually free to explore where they want within boundaries set by the undersea specialist and officer of the watch.

Underwater Camera

Our undersea specialist will dive often during your expedition, even in the polar regions, with cold-water gear, to shoot high-definition, Cousteau-like footage of the deep. Colorful nudibranchs, swimming, plant-like crinoids, and mysterious fish with antifreeze blood that thrive in the frigid sea will give you an entirely new appreciation of the marine environment.

Video Microscope

Naturalists will use the video microscope to help explain all elements of the environment, including tiny organisms that are the building block of the marine ecosystem. Spellbinding live views of krill at 80x magnification populate the high-definition screens in the lounge with vivid detail and fills every onlooker with a sense of wonder at the importance of otherwise unobservable creatures.

Hydrophone

This underwater microphone is deployed to listen to the vocalizations of marine mammals. Real time transmissions of their eerie, haunting sounds can be broadcast or recorded for later playback. Few experiences in nature are as captivating as watching humpback whales feed close to the ship as their vocalizations play through the ship’s PA system.

Traveler Health

We at TQ want to be sure you find the trip that best suits your interests and level of fitness.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance protects you from the unexpected “what-ifs” on your travels. What if your bags go missing, what if you have to cancel, what if you need medical assistance?

You may purchase this insurance on your own or you may contact our friends at Travelex who are familiar with our trips and offer a selection of coverages to suit your needs. To be eligible for the waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusion, their plans must be purchased within 15 days from the time you make your initial deposit to TravelQuest. Otherwise, the plan may be purchased any time prior to departure.

A Note About Fuel

In the uncertain, often volatile oil market, it is difficult to predict long-term fuel costs, and more specifically, costs at the time of the voyage. Our prices are based on the prevailing fuel rates at the time of the brochure publication, which is well in advance of departure. While we will do everything possible to maintain our prices, if fuel prices increase significantly at or before the time of the voyage, it may be necessary to institute a fuel surcharge.
