You will be led by our Discovery Team experts, venturing further within your destination via our on board fleet of Zodiacs and kayaks, diving below the ocean depths in our Scenic Neptune submarine, and witnessing the landscapes from above in our state-of-the-art helicopters.
Discover the world in true luxury, basking in exceptional wellness experiences and the spacious surrounds of Scenic Eclipse. Your 6-star voyage with Scenic Eclipse will be the perfect harmony of discovery and luxurious wellness, placing your well-being at the epicentre.
Truly once-in-a-lifetime moments of discovery
Cherish unforgettable moments of wonder that will last a lifetime with Scenic Eclipse.
Your journey on board the World’s First Discovery Yacht™ will be filled with unique encounters with local wildlife and breathtaking sights that enrich both the body and mind. The awe-inspiring surrounds of the Arctic glaciers will set your heart racing, the iconic wildlife of South America will enchant you, and the ancient landmarks along the Mediterranean will capture your imagination.
Discover ocean depths in Scenic Neptune
As well as venturing to places less travelled, you’re invited to explore the mysterious underwater worlds in Scenic Neptune, our on board submarine^. Scenic Neptune is able to dive up to 300 metres (984 feet), holding just six guests at a time. This exclusive and intimate experience will take you where few have gone before, letting you witness the serene stillness and majesty within the ocean’s depths. The two large ultra-clear acrylic spheres, revolving platform and seats that swivel 280 degrees allow you to take in the views from all around you.
Enjoy extraordinary aerial views in our on board helicopters
Soar beyond the horizon in one of the two on board 6-seater helicopters^. Observe iconic locations from a new perspective, such as the tips of snowy glaciers and the rocky terrains of active volcanoes. A large wrap-around windscreen, Bose® noise cancelling headsets, custom-designed leather seats, air-conditioned interior, and cameras to record your memories in HD further enhance your experience.
See your destination intimately through enriching excursions
From our exploratory Scenic Discovery excursions to our exclusive Scenic Enrich experiences and our flexible Scenic Freechoice activities, your voyage will be complemented by a choice of enriching shore excursions. Handcrafted by our expert Journey Designers, our shore excursions are designed to allow you to immerse yourself in the local culture and gain unique insight into your destination. Led by our specialist Discovery Team in polar regions and local guides in other destinations, you’ll benefit from their knowledgeable expertise. You can adapt each excursion to suit your preferred pace, revelling in deeply engaging interactions with local cultures, wildlife and environments.
Exclusive Scenic Enrich experiences – such as a classical concert in the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco and a Norwegian folk music performance inside a cathedral in Tromsø – are designed to enhance your journey. Scenic Freechoice allows you to tailor your day to suit you, choosing from activities such as exploring an authentic Viking village in Vikøyri or a tour of the ancient city of Pompeii.
When Scenic Eclipse is in Discovery mode, our fleet of kayaks and Zodiacs take you to the heart of less explored environments, allowing you to seek comfort in the serenity of Mother Nature. Paddling in azure waters amid the ocean breeze, waiting for native wildlife to appear around you will be just one of the many highlights of your trip.
Optimum space for relaxation
From luxuriously appointed suites to carefully designed lounges, there is always space for relaxation on board Scenic Eclipse.
The modern and sleek yacht design evokes an aura of peace; in the words of Scenic Eclipse Godmother, Dame Helen Mirren: “just to walk down the corridor is a very calm feeling”.
After an exciting day of onshore exploration and sensational wildlife encounters, your Discovery Yacht is the perfect idyllic setting to return to for relaxation.
