Sights, sounds and the South Pacific
On October 21, 2024, Canadian singer, songwriter, actor and author Jann Arden will join the Scenic Eclipse II on a nine-day cruise across Fiji and the South Pacific.
The once-in-a-lifetime voyage take place on what the brand describes as its “newest 6-star ultra-luxury, all-inclusive discovery yacht.” It will depart from Lautoka, Fiji, and explore the South Pacific’s natural beauty, including lagoons, reef ecosystems and volcanic landscapes.
As noted on the Scenic website, this experience will offer “a unique blend of musical magic and tropical paradise, creating memories to last a lifetime with Jann Arden” (scenic.ca/jannarden).
To date, Arden has released 15 albums, achieved 19 top-10 singles and received eight Juno Awards, including for Female Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. In 2020, she was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Alongside being a musician, she’s the author of six books. The most recent, The Bittlemores, was released in November 2023. She is also an actor, co-creating and starring in the show Jann.
Arden’s presence on the ship marks her fourth collaboration with Scenic Eclipse, and she will make various personal appearances throughout the voyage. These include a welcome reception on the opening night, an up-close-and-personal Q&A session and a special evening concert with the rest of her band.
The ship caters to up to 228 guests and boasts both indoor and outdoor spaces, including dining experiences, bars, lounges, a spa, observation lounges and terraces. Whether guests want to relax or stay busy, there’s no shortage of activities.
“WORLD-CLASS DINING, WORLD-CLASS ACCOMMODATIONS AND, OF COURSE, SOME OF THE WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL SCENERY.”
The cruise’s Discovery Team of onboard experts offers guests the opportunity to take to the skies in an Airbus H130-T2 helicopter for some “flightseeing,” dive into the depths of beautiful oceans with the Scenic Neptune II submersible or float somewhere in the middle with a kayak tour.
“I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to be going on the beautiful Scenic Eclipse this October, one of the world’s most beautiful yachts,” says Arden. “We will be winding around the Fijian islands, gazing out from our extraordinary verandah balconies. Only 228 guests will enjoy the most luxurious nine days of their lives. World-class dining, world-class accommodations, and, of course, some of the world’s most beautiful scenery.”
