Scenic Eclipse Creates Iconic Memories
Closing in on 4 decades of redefining luxury travel with award-winning luxury cruises and land journeys, Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours continues to elevate.
Since its debut in 2019, Scenic Eclipse has redefined the meaning of ultra- luxury at sea. The launch of the Scenic Eclipse, The World’s First Discovery Yachts ™ heralded a new era of ultra-luxurious ocean cruising, blending state-of-the-art technology, sophisticated design and extraordinary experiences.
As Scenic celebrates the fifth anniversary of its groundbreaking voyage, its pioneering Discovery Yachts continue to set the gold standard in ocean exploration, providing guests with unparalleled journeys to some of the world’s most awe- inspiring destinations.
What is most important to understand is that Scenic Eclipse is not just a cruise ship — it is an expedition yacht: a six-star vessel purposefully designed to combine world-class luxury with exploration, offering a level of comfort and sophistication all while pushing the boundaries of what is possible on the high seas.
With the introduction of Scenic Eclipse II in 2023, the company solidified its place as a leader in ultra-luxurious cruises, navigating all seven continents and venturing into remote regions, like Antarctica, the Arctic and the South Pacific.
The Discovery Yachts boast an impressive collection of onboard amenities and cutting- edge features, thus ensuring that every guest can enjoy the vessels’ luxurious suites, multiple dining options, a world-class theatre and exclusive access to a variety of unique experiences that cater to the curious traveller seeking to explore the world’s most breathtaking destinations. In fact, at any point, if a guest wants to embrace new levels of freedom, they can embark on one of the state-of-the-art Airbus H130-T2 helicopters and the custom-built Scenic Neptune II submersible, which allows travellers to explore both above and below the waterline in ways few other cruises can offer.
Just imagine having the option to soar above some of the planet’s most stunning landscapes in helicopters, enjoying bird’s-eye views of remote islands, vast glaciers and volcanic landscapes or experiencing the depths of the ocean and witnessing what very few have: the beauty of undisturbed marine life with 360-degree panoramic views.
But Scenic Eclipses’ true defining feature is its destination-immersive itineraries, which are carefully crafted to offer the most extraordinary travel experiences across the globe. Whether exploring the polar regions, cruising through the Mediterranean or visiting the cultural hubs of Asia, each journey provides an opportunity to immerse oneself in the cultural beauty and diversity of some of the world’s most iconic destinations.
In the polar regions, travellers can witness the majestic landscapes of Antarctica and the Arctic while observing unique wildlife. The Chilean Fjords, Iceland and the Mediterranean also feature heavily on Scenic Eclipses’ itineraries, offering opportunities for travellers to experience natural beauty, history and culture.
For those drawn to the sun-kissed shores of the South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, Scenic Eclipse offers a chance to explore volcanic rainforests, coral reefs and the rugged outback.
Destinations in Europe, from the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean to the quaint coastal towns of the United Kingdom, provide a charming contrast to the dramatic landscapes of the polar regions. In Asia, Scenic Eclipse ventures to the mystic lands of Japan and Indonesia, where history, spirituality and nature merge seamlessly.
On board, the emphasis is on indulgence and comfort. With just 114 suites across five decks, Scenic Eclipse ensures that each guest has ample space to relax and unwind. The suites are designed to be both elegant and functional, featuring floor- to-ceiling windows that let in natural light, private verandas and luxurious amenities, like the yachts’ sophisticated butler service that will cater to every need, from morning coffee to evening cocktails.
With up to 10 distinct dining venues and nine bars and lounges, guests are treated to world- class cuisine that celebrates local ingredients and international flavours. From casual dining to fine dining, every meal is a true taste of the regions you visit as the menu evolves with each destination.
After a delicious meal, you can enjoy the ship’s world-class theatre, which offers a space for guests to relax and enjoy captivating lectures and performances. The Open Bridge concept allows guests to observe the inner workings of the ship and interact with the navigational team, providing a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the operation of a cutting-edge discovery yacht. With an almost 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, the service aboard Scenic Eclipse is unparalleled, ensuring that every moment is attended to with the utmost care.
Whether you are soaring through the skies, diving beneath the waves or simply enjoying the serenity of the ocean, Scenic Eclipse offers a journey like no other — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the world’s wonders in an ultra-luxurious style.
