Celebrating 5 Years of Scenic Discovery Yachts

We're delighted to be celebrating five extraordinary years of Scenic Eclipse, our pioneering Discovery Yachts designed to push the boundaries of expedition cruising. Five years of revolutionary innovation have taken us further than ever before, operating in extreme environments while setting the benchmark in 6-star ultra-luxury and prioritizing the guest experience. This journey has taken us to the ends of the Earth, constantly innovating to ensure Scenic Eclipse remains in a class of its own.

5 years of setting the benchmark

Custom-designed with a wealth of world-class features for unrivalled exploration, Scenic Eclipse sets the benchmark in ultra-luxury cruising. Built to operate in the most extreme environments, and with a Polar Class 6 rating, on board helicopters^ and a submersible^ allow the expert team to deliver unparalleled experiences by sea, land, and air – all in 6-star ultra-luxury.

Perfectly suited to sailing some of the world's most unique regions, we’ll take you close to majestic scenery and wildlife by Zodiac, kayak, and stand-up paddleboard, guided by an expert Discovery Team who’ll bring a breadth and depth of knowledge that’s truly unmatched.

5 years of continuous innovation

Scenic Eclipse I & II are built to allow guests to discover parts of the world inaccessible to ordinary traveler. Feel like a pioneering explorer as you take off from the ship’s helipad in a state-of-the-art Airbus H130-T2 helicopter^ to become part of a select group to fly over lesser-explored locations, like Antarctica’s Snow Hill Island^, home to a colony of more than 4,000 emperor penguins.

Submerge to depths of up to 650 feet on board our custom-designed submersible which, in 2022, made history with the first dive in South Georgian waters in 40 years and, later, conducted the world’s first commercial night dive by an expedition ship off Mexico’s Oaxacan coast.

5 years of raising the bar

Understanding every guest’s needs before they do is what we call the Scenic Nth Degree. Up to 10 all-inclusive dining experiences satisfy every palate. Open galleys reveal expert craftsmanship, while an on board herb garden at Chef’s Garden @ Epicure reduces waste and emissions, and specially arranged trips to source local ingredients ensure we use only the highest quality produce.  

All-inclusive beverages include champagne, 100 varieties of whiskey, and cocktails created with 10,000-year-old glacial ice, and every beautifully designed suite features a verandah or terrace with butler service. Enjoy new enhancements like a Salt Therapy Lounge, KLAFS infrared seats, and a new bar area on Deck 10, as well as a larger oval swimming pool and luxurious cabanas on board Scenic Eclipse II, for a complete appreciation of warmer climates.

The Story So Far

  "The revolutionary idea of Scenic Eclipse is that it’s a yacht, like any other private ultra-luxury yacht, but with state-of-the-art design equipment so we can travel further and safer." - Senior Captain Erwan Le Rouzic
