For over 30-years, Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours has been providing adventure lovers with new and exciting ways to explore the world.
In its quest as the leading luxury cruise brand, Scenic offers something few travel companies can emulate – sophisticated, deeply immersive tours, delivered in luxurious fashion.
For those who’ve experienced a Scenic river cruise in Europe or Asia, the emphasis placed on sights and attractions, as well as the local culture and food, is very evident.
Now, Scenic is about to take that brand of cruising to the world’s oceans as it launches its new yacht-style ship, Scenic Eclipse.
Setting a new standard in high-seas luxury, Scenic Eclipse will be the benchmark for design and innovation as the first 6-Star Discovery Yacht.
Built for just 228 passengers, (200 when sailing the Arctic and the Antarctic), Scenic Eclipse will spoil guests with its luxurious accommodations, state-of-the-art amenities and almost 1:1 guest-to-crew ratio. But wait until you see what else Scenic has in store for those lucky enough to sail on her …
There’s a reason the company chose the name Scenic Eclipse to define its new ships. Surpassing anything at sea, these amazing vessels feature a mini-submarine and their own helicopter – what you’d expect on a ship that can take you to the far reaches of the globe.
Here’s what else you can expect on board the new Scenic Eclipse.
Truly all-inclusive
Extending the same all-inclusive approach found on Scenic’s river cruises, Scenic Eclipse guests never have to worry about the added costs that come with on board essentials like meals, beverages and shore tours.
Forget about ‘room charges’ and those fiddly dockets when ordering your favourite cocktail or glass of wine, or when sitting down to dine on a gourmet meal. There’s no fussing with gratuities either. With the exception of submarine and helicopter tours and some spa services, everything is included in the price of the initial fare.
On board, guests can expect spacious, all-verandah suite accommodation; butler service for every cabin; 24-hour dining and beverages; access to the Spa Sanctuary; a gym, yoga and Pilates studio; professional entertainment; expert lectures; free Wi-Fi; and even airport transfers.
Choose from a comprehensive range of all-inclusive shore excursions in each port too, with active discovery options, exclusive Scenic Enrich experiences, and Scenic Freechoice activities.
