Visit the diverse beauty, the lush jungles and native cultures of the Americas and the marine sanctuary of the Sea of Cortez, dubbed the ‘Aquarium of the World’ by Jacques Cousteau. In Japan, explore the centuries’-old traditions and rituals and savour the world-class cuisine; or delve into European history and unique treasures as you cruise the glistening, azure Mediterranean and Aegean seas, stopping right in the heart of historic cities, pristine islands and small ports where larger ships can’t dock.
Unrivalled Discovery
One of the many unique aspects of our Discovery Yachts, is the up to 20-member specialist Discovery Team. The curated group of experts on board your Scenic Eclipse voyage are at the very core of Scenic’s Expedition and Discovery Voyages. Top experts in their fields, the Discovery Team is made up of professionals including historians, geologists, glaciologists, archaeologists, marine biologists, scientists and photographers. They are as eager as you are to reconnect with the many incredible locations that we visit and to share their passion for, and knowledge of these magnificent regions with you.
The Discovery Team will lead you ashore on thrilling expeditions by Zodiac, kayak or stand-up paddleboard, taking you up close to the marine life of such pristine locations as the Arctic and Antarctica. Guests of Scenic Eclipse are able to soar both above and below the horizon – by either taking to the skies in one of two on board Airbus helicopters^ on trips catering up to six guests, plus your expert pilot. Or go where few have ventured before and submerge up to 300 metres beneath the ocean's surface, as one of six guests, plus your expert pilot in our state-of-the-art submarine, Scenic Neptune^.
In warmer climates such as the Aegean and Mediterranean seas, you can access an expanded range of water-sport activities including kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, Tiwal Sailing boat or snorkelling in the clear waters to view a diverse array of underwater marine life.
Enrich the Soul
People are social beings, wired to connect with the others and the animals that we share Earth with. More than anything, it’s these moments that leave the biggest imprint on our soul and enrich our journeys to the world’s most alluring destinations. In opening our hearts and minds to new cultures, history, cuisines, landscapes and wildlife, we come away with not only a richer understanding of the destinations that we visit, but a deeper knowing of our selves too.
The Scenic Eclipse expert team has a unique set of skills, as well as world-class equipment at their disposal, to restart you on your journey of discovery – taking you close to the people and places that will enrich your lives.
Imagine feeling the crisp air on the Observation Deck in Antarctica's Weddell Sea as you listen with your Team leader for the sounds of the haunting, synthesised sounds of the Weddell seal, or cruising in Zodiacs past glaciers as you spot fur seals or whales surging from the water. In the Arctic’s Svalbard archipelago, watch a mother polar bear playing with its cub on the ice. In Japan, hike Mt Esan, an active volcano rising 618m above sea level.
