Introducing Scenic Eclipse I and II

When Scenic Eclipse I launched in 2019, it set a new benchmark for ultra-luxury ocean cruising. And in 2013, the launch of sister-ship Scenic Eclipse II cemented that standard. These two Discovery Yachts offer the best of both worlds, with custom design and world-class features that provide unrivalled exploration, , all set in the epitome of luxury. Together, they visit over 350 destinations worldwide, giving new meaning to discovering the world in comfort and style.

⚓ State-of-the-Art Design and Technology

Scenic’s luxury yachts are equipped with state-of-the-art design features and technologies that allow them to explore the most remote corners of the earth. These Polar Class 6 rated Discovery Yachts are truly unique, with custom stabilisers that are 50% larger than those found on other ships, providing exceptional stability. The reinforced hull, forward bow thrusters, and electronic Azipod propulsion system ensure safe navigation in the harshest conditions of regions like Antarctica and the Arctic.

The yachts are also equipped with GPS Dynamic Positioning, which helps maintain their location without disturbing sensitive seabeds. Additionally, their Advanced Wastewater Treatment Systems and highly efficient engines result in reduced emissions, noise, and vibrations, ensuring minimal impact on the precious environments they visit. With these unique innovations, Scenic’s luxury yachts are not only luxurious but also environmentally responsible.

⚓ Immersive Observation

Scenic Eclipse I and II both venture to far-flung destinations of the world, and while on board, you’ll want to fully immerse yourself in the experience, not just observe from afar. That’s why both yachts have been thoughtfully designed with a spacious observation terrace at the front of the vessel, providing panoramic views of your surroundings. Additionally, the Observation Lounge offers prime viewing spots equipped with Swarovski telescopes. Scenic Eclipse I and II offer more than just a way to see the part of the world that you’re visiting – they offer a way to truly connect with and experience it. 

⚓ In-depth Exploration

Besides being able to obvserve the hard-to-reach destinations that few others will ever visit, Scenic also offers the most in-depth ways to explore them. Take a helicopter ride above stunning landscapes, uncovering hidden wonders beyond the horizon. Or dive into the deep blue sea to unravel the mysteries below. A fleet of zodiacs are always on hand to take you into the heart of your destination, and you can get up close and personal with nature on a kayak or stand-up paddleboard. With all-inclusive, active discovery at its core, Scenic offers a whole new level of exploration.

           

⚓ Life On Board

Both yachts were meticulously designed for both exploration and 6-star luxury. Each Discovery Yacht boasts ten exquisitely designed decks, with the heart of of the vessel located on decks 4 and 5.
