She’s been dubbed the ‘World’s First Discovery Yacht’, which will not only introduce cruisers to 6-star expedition cruising but also mark a new direction for Scenic.

A little over a year before her launch, the cruise and tour operator is giving travellers a sneak preview of what they can expect in each Scenic Eclipse itinerary with the release of three new brochures.

On shelves today are Scenic Eclipse, Scenic Discovery Voyages: Europe & The Americas, and Scenic Polar Voyages – Arctic and Antarctica.

Here’s what you and your clients can expect:

 

Sail the seas in luxury fit for royalty

Scenic 3

The 6-star ultra-luxury mega yacht for only 228 guests – 200 in the Arctic and Antarctica –launches in the Mediterranean on 31 August 2018. Scenic Eclipse takes ocean cruising to a whole new level – marrying luxury, discovery and safety, and giving guests the opportunity to explore above and beyond what was previously imaginable. The ship’s intimate size means you’ll dock in unique locations and smaller ports that larger ships simply cannot reach.

 

Sleep in the most luxurious suites

Akin to the finest hotels in the world, ranging in size from the generous 32 square metre Verandah Suites to the 247 square metre two-bedroom Penthouse Suite, a Scenic Eclipse suite is one of the greatest luxuries you’ll have.
