Ocean Experiences with the New Worldwide Discovery Yachts Collection

Vancouver, BC, July 13, 2026 - Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours has elevated its truly all-inclusive ultra-luxury to extraordinary new heights, with the launch of its new 2028 and 2029 worldwide collection featuring Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Ikon. With more exclusive suite inclusions available only on Scenic Discovery Yachts, guests will enjoy an unparalleled experience, across 100 plus countries and all seven continents.

Included Helicopter Flightseeing Experience

Scenic Discovery Yachts stand alone in ocean discovery, equipped with two Airbus H130 helicopters that carry guests far beyond the coastline inland into areas other luxury ships cannot reach other than by long bus rides or even not at all. Their exclusive range of unique helicopter landing experiences have been specifically designed and developed for Scenic Eclipse guests on board the ships and the launch of Scenic Ikon in 2028.

Scenic’s renowned truly all-inclusive philosophy will now extend to a complimentary helicopter flightseeing experience with Super Earlybird bookings on voyages departing between April 2027 and April 2029 including a 20-minute flight across a range of destinations, or a 30-minute flight over Antarctica.

“We know from guests’ feedback that a helicopter flightseeing experience can reframe a journey,” said Jason Flesher, Scenic Group Director of Discovery Operations. “By including helicopter flightseeing experiences, we are quite literally elevating ultra-luxury discovery, giving guests perspectives that few travellers will ever experience by making these life-changing moments part of the extensive inclusion already provided and our guest’s personal stories for life.”
