The World’s First Discovery Yachts
Inspired by the sleek contours of a sailing yacht, Scenic Eclipse sets the benchmark in ultra-luxury ocean cruising.
Scenic Eclipse & Scenic Ikon
With three Discovery Yachts visiting more than 350 extraordinary destinations across 63 remarkable countries, Scenic Discovery Yachts take you further than ever before to explore all seven continents.
Scenic Eclipse
Scenic Eclipse set the benchmark for ultra-luxury ocean cruising. The Discovery Yacht sails between the Antarctic Peninsula and Arctic each year with voyages also sailing in the Mediterranean, Europe, and Americas. Be immersed in rich history, vibrant cultures, pristine beaches, breathtaking polar landscapes, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Discover Scenic Eclipse II
The sister ship to Scenic Eclipse, our second Scenic Discovery Yacht is exploring the South Pacific, New Zealand, East Antarctica and the Ross Sea until March 2026. She will then journey from pole to pole, sailing in Antarctica, the Arctic, Europe and the Americas, before returning to the Oceania region from April 2028.
