Scenic Eclipse II will make its inaugural sailing to New Zealand in November, covering both the north and south islands.

In April, the much-anticipated ship arrived in Sydney Harbour for its first exploration of Australian waters, and come November, it will head to Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Scenic Group’s General Manager, Sales and Marketing APAC, Anthony Laver says the ship is, “a game-changer for the local cruising industry with its unrivalled ultra-luxury spaces, new culinary experiences, two helicopters and next-generation submersible”.

He says Scenic is very proud to now be able to take guests to New Zealand.

“We can’t wait to share the wonders of New Zealand with our guests as Scenic Eclipse II commences her maiden voyages in November, December and February, marking a new era in Discovery Yacht cruising in the region.”
