Custom-designed with a wealth of world-class features for unrivalled exploration, Scenic Eclipse will welcome a sister ship of equal innovation in 2023. With two Discovery Yachts, we will travel further than ever before.
In 2019, Scenic Group made history by creating The World’s First Discovery Yacht, with Scenic Eclipse setting the benchmark in 6-star ultra-luxury, innovative design and state-of-the-art technology. Nearly three years on, Scenic Eclipse remains the benchmark and jewel in the crown of global luxury cruising.
With the elegant lines of a sailing yacht and the technological prowess of an expedition ship, Scenic Eclipse is truly unique. A Discovery Yacht capable of cruising into polar regions with ease, allowing guests to soar above on one of two on board helicopters^ or explore below on our custom-built submarine^.
In 2023, we will once again make history, welcoming Scenic Eclipse II to our fleet and take guests to more than 357 extraordinary ports in 54 remarkable countries, spanning over seven continents. This is the future of world-wide discovery yacht cruising.
An Abundance of New DestinationsÂ
With two sophisticated Discovery Yachts in our fleet, the 2023/24 release of destinations is our largest yet.  You can snorkel in the tropical waters of Raja Ampat as we meander through the untouched islands of this vast Indonesian archipelago. In Scotland, marvel at a land filled with the rich history of Celts, Romans and Vikings. Take in the breathtaking beauty of Tahiti as we island hop through the Pacific Islands.
When you think you have experienced it all, learn about the oldest civilization on earth as we glide from Darwin to Broome, or jump on the new Scenic flight straight over Drake Passage and into the heart of Antarctica where Scenic Eclipse will be waiting. In total, there will be just under ten new countries added to an already abundance list of destinations you can explore with Scenic.

United by Innovative Design & TechnologyÂ
At the core of the Scenic Eclipse fleet is the seamless combination of 6-star ultra-luxury, with the world-class technological advancements that are required for unrivalled exploration. A Polar Class 6 rating, a strengthened hull and customized stabilizers, ensure your voyage through even the roughest of seas is calm and comfortable. With the activation of our GPS Dynamic Positioning, Scenic Eclipse is anchored without having to ever drop an anchor. It allows us to venture into the most ecologically sensitive areas of the world and leave as small a footprint as possible.
When we reach these extraordinary regions, your experience is fully immersive. You can soar above, below and beyond the horizon on board one of two Airbus H130-T2 helicopters^ and our custom-built submarine, Scenic Neptune^, found on both Discovery Yachts. From the marina deck, enjoy Zodiacs, kayaks, stand-up paddleboard experiences. On our cruise voyages in the warmer waters of the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Australia, venture out by Tiwal sail boats or by Scenic e-bike to explore at your own pace.
Scenic Eclipse II has been designed and built using the latest innovation and we are delighted to announce the introduction of Scenic Neptune II^, the second custom-built next generation submarine of our fleet. Seating up to 8 guests your pilot will take you to a magical underwater world diving down to 200 metres. In the warm waters of Indonesia, marvel as brightly coloured tropical fish swim past. In Antarctica, this unlocks a world that you will remember for a lifetime.
Discovery Meets 6-Star Ultra-Luxury
The Scenic difference is that you, our guests, are at the heart of everything we do. Our world-class staff ensure every detail is taken care of to the Nth degree. For example your personal butler guiding you through the pillow menu in your luxuriously appointed suite to ensure you’ll experience a fully restorative sleep.

They will then take you out on a Zodiac to marvel at this species in their natural habitat. If you have a special occasion or a milestone day, celebrating a birthday or anniversary, then Scenic Eclipse Corporate Executive Chef Tom Götter can create an exquisite dessert that evening exclusively for you. With Scenic, every moment of your journey delivers beyond expectation.
