SCENIC Luxury Cruises & Tours’ Scenic Eclipse II has achieved its first submersible dive in New Caledonia (pictured inset), visiting hidden reefs, a historic shipwreck, and thriving marine life 100 metres below the surface.
Guests aboard the Neptune II submersible experienced rare below-water perspectives at Tubou Reef off Amedee Islet, including views of the La Dieppoise shipwreck, a former wooden naval vessel.
Neptune II seats up to eight guests alongside an expert pilot, and can journey up to 100 metres beneath the surface.
Eclipse II is now cruising her final Oceania voyages before departing the region in Mar for the Mediterranean and the Baltics via the Caribbean.
Guests still have time to secure an all-verandah suite on board for a close-to-home journey, from East Antarctica to New Caledonia, Fiji, Norfolk Island, French Polynesia, and the Marquesas.
They can also enjoy on-water experiences by Zodiac, kayak and stand up paddleboard, as well as above-horizon perspectives from the two state-of-the-art on-board helicopters, guided by the specialist Discovery Team.
Scenic’s submersibles have become a key part of the product offering of their Discovery Yachts, with the newly announced Scenic Ikon (CW 04 Nov) to feature Scenic Neptune III. MS
