SCENIC Group has unveiled Scenic Ikon (pictured), set to join its Discovery Yacht fleet in Apr 2028 (CW breaking news).
First flagged by Cruise Weekly earlier this year (CW 16 Jun), the ultra-luxury vessel will host up to 270 guests in 135 all-verandah suites across five decks, making her bigger than the 228-pax Scenic Eclipse and Eclipse II.
Scenic Ikon will be purpose-built for both polar regions and warm-water destinations, with a Polar Code 6 rating and an Ice Class 1A super-strengthened hull.
The ship will be decked out with two Airbus H130-T2 helicopters, a custom-designed Triton AVA submersible, Zodiacs, and superyacht Fassmer tenders.
On board, guests can enjoy 15 dining venues, expansive lounges and social spaces, as well as a 1,700m2 two-level Senses Rejuvenation Spa complete with world-class fitness offerings.
Scenic Ikon will also offer exclusive helicopter landings at golf courses, local restaurants, and historic landmarks, as well as some of the world’s most remote wilderness regions.
These experiences are included for Chairman’s Club members and for guests in the Penthouse and Owner’s Suites.
“Scenic Ikon has been conceived, engineered and built with our in-house ship building division at MKM Yachts and will be operated entirely by our own dedicated Scenic crew,” said Glen Moroney, founder and Chairman of Scenic Group.
“This remarkable vessel is the result of more than three years of passion, innovation and development by our team, and we are delighted to share the Discovery Yacht with our valued guests, travel advisors and partners,” he added.
“Every element of Scenic Ikon’s design has been optimised to deliver unrivalled experiences across diverse destinations and environments, from its primary base the Mediterranean to the wilds of Antarctica.”
The upcoming Discovery Yacht will embark on her sold-out inaugural voyage from Venice in Apr 2028, with the rest of her maiden season through to Mar 2029 spanning 110 ports across the Mediterranean, Aegean and Egypt, Antarctica, and more. JM
