Scenic Eclipse, the World’s First Discovery Yacht, has been years in the planning. The launch heralds a new direction for the award-winning luxury travel operator. Three brochures – Scenic Eclipse, Scenic Discovery Voyages: Europe & The Americas, and Scenic Polar Voyages – Arctic and Antarctica – have just landed.
Sail the seas in luxury fit for royalty
The 6-star ultra-luxury mega yacht for only 228 guests – 200 in the Arctic and Antarctica –launches in the Mediterranean on 31 August 2018. Scenic Eclipse takes ocean cruising to a whole new level – marrying luxury, discovery and safety, and giving guests the opportunity to explore above and beyond what was previously imaginable. Scenic Eclipse’s intimate size means you’ll dock in unique locations and smaller ports that larger ships simply cannot reach.
Sleep in the most luxurious suites
Scenic sets the benchmark for the standard of ocean-cruising suites. Every one of the 114 spacious and beautifully designed suites features a private verandah and lounge area. Akin to the finest hotels in the world, ranging in size from the generous 32 square metre Verandah Suites to the 247 square metre two-bedroom Penthouse Suite, a Scenic Eclipse suite is one of the greatest luxuries you’ll have.
Fine dining and drinks for every tastebud
Nine dining venues are available, from the laid-back Azure Bar & Café to Lumière French fine dining, plus 24-hour in-suite dining. Menus feature the finest fare, including regional specialities sourced from local suppliers. Not to mention unlimited complimentary beverages, including an in-suite minibar.
All-inclusive, opulent extras
Scenic has thought of everything so guests don’t have to lift a finger (or wallet): personal service with an almost 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio; butler service for every guest; Spa Sanctuary and plunge pools; expert Discovery Leaders an all cruises; indoor and outdoor swimming pools; all tipping and gratuities, and much, much more.
All-inclusive shore excursions
From exclusive Scenic Enrich experiences to expert-led Scenic Freechoice activities and discovery excursions by Zodiac, kayak, e-bike, snorkelling and more, guests will have myriad activities to choose from – without paying anything extra.
Innovative design
Inspired by the sleek contours of a sailing yacht and designed to glide through ocean currents with ease, Scenic Eclipse is built to the highest international safety standards, utilising state-of-the-art technology and GPS dynamic positioning, plus a host of safety features including stabiliser fins. A rating of Ice Class 1A^ (Polar Class 6), the highest of any luxury vessel, enables the safest navigation through Arctic and Antarctic waters.
Beyond adventure
Scenic Eclipse will take you to places previously thought inaccessible, thanks to on board helicopters and a submarine. For an additional fee, guests can explore a whole new dimension of wonder, from above and below. Scuba experiences are also available.
