A World of Luxury and Exploration Awaits on Scenic Eclipse
Scenic Eclipse, known as “the world’s first discovery yacht”, offers a distinct experience compared to traditional cruise ships. Juna Ueda, Scenic’s General Manager of Sales, Canada, emphasizes the yacht's spaciousness and exclusivity, stating, “I don’t want to use the words ‘small ship’ because that conjures up tight quarters… there are no crowds, but there’s plenty of space for our guests.”
Unparalleled Luxury and Spacious Accommodations
Stepping onto Scenic Eclipse is like entering a world of understated elegance. The Scenic Lounge, with its high ceiling, resembles a boutique hotel lobby more than a cruise ship atrium. The Scenic Bar, boasting a tower displaying over 130 whiskeys from around the world, adds to the luxurious ambiance.
Accommodations are all suites, ranging in size from 344 square feet to the expansive 2,637 square feet 2-Bedroom Penthouse. Each suite features private balconies, stocked minibars, illy coffee machines, and butler service. The soothing color scheme and soft carpeting create a calming sanctuary for guests.
A Culinary Journey with Eight Dining Venues
Despite its relatively small size (17,085 gross registered tons), Scenic Eclipse boasts an impressive eight dining venues. The Azure Bar & Café and Yacht Club Bar & Grill offer casual dining options with outdoor seating, while dinner venues cater to diverse palates. Elements offers Mediterranean cuisine, Koko’s features Asian Fusion cuisine with an adjacent Sushi & Sake Bar, and the Night Market Teppanyaki grill serves international street food. Lumiere provides a refined French dining experience, and Chef’s Table @ Elements offers an exclusive invitation-only dinner experience.
Exclusive Exploration Experiences
Scenic Eclipse offers two unique exploration experiences that elevate the journey to new heights. The yacht carries two Airbus H130-T2 helicopters designed for sightseeing, allowing guests to take to the skies for breathtaking aerial views. For those seeking underwater adventures, the submersible, capable of diving down to 328 feet, provides an intimate glimpse into the ocean's depths.
A Relaxed and Intimate Atmosphere
Travel advisors who have experienced Scenic Eclipse are impressed by its spaciousness and luxurious yet laid-back vibe. Sandra McMurray of Centrum Travel describes it as “luxury… in very subtle ways,” while Faith Sproule of Niche Travel Group highlights the “laid-back, no-jacket-required atmosphere” that sets it apart from other luxury brands. Owen Hargreaves of Expedia Cruises praises the yacht's minimalist design and “stunning views from every suite and public area.” Stewart Grant of Stonetown Travel believes that the experience offered aboard Scenic Eclipse offers “great value” for clients seeking a memorable life experience.
