We’ve always sought out that which is beyond the horizon.

It’s in our very nature.

The drive for discovery.

Seeking out new experiences, landscapes and cultures.

To venture across the mighty oceans of the world.

It’s got to be one of the great thrills of being alive.

To seek out wonder, to take the Scenic route.

Introducing Scenic Eclipse, the world’s first discovery yacht.

“They dive and pirouette, zooming around our Zodiac. Dozens of penguins rocketing up from the depths. I was utterly mesmerised by the power, agility and grace of this underwater Antarctic ballet… and I had the best seats in the house.” Pippa, 49 Antarctica S 63° 50’ E64° 0’

“I awoke this morning in the 19th century. The sounds of simplicity all around, horses clip-clopping along cobblestones, birdsong instead of traffic, local musicians serenading me as I walk along multi-coloured colonial streets. Time stands still in this sweet slice of Cuba and I’m more than happy to stand still for a while too.” Grant, 56 Trinidad, Cuba N 21° 48’ W 79° 59’



From local shore excursions to ZODIAC, KAYAK and SNORKELLING adventures, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to locations larger ships can’t reach and unique moments that showcase the

SOARABOVE DIVEBELOW GOBEYOND

atmosphere and wonder of the many destinations we travel to - with Scenic Eclipse, it’s all-inclusive.

Scenic has always sought to go beyond the horizon and with our six-seat, twin engine HELICOPTERS,

there’s no limit to where we can go. Imagine flying low over the dramatic crags of the Scottish Isles, the volcanic wonders of Italy or the sparkling coral cays of the Caribbean. Venture further inland than most

on the Antarctic continent, land on the ice and have the thrill of seeing marine life in their natural habitat.

Explore the delights and mysteries of the deep on board our SUBMARINE. Custom-built for optimal

sightseeing, an excursion into the wide blue sea will be a truly unforgettable part of a Scenic Eclipse

Ocean Cruise. Unearth ancient underwater ruins in Greece and Turkey, kaleidoscopic coral reefs in the Caribbean or gasp in awe at the giant form of a polar bear searching for food in the crystal Arctic waters.

Exclusive access to some of the world’s most spectacular, unique and least visited locations. From majestic

Antarctica to the sparkling Caribbean, the Greek Islands to the breathtaking Norwegian Fjords. For an

additional fee you can select a range of HELICOPTER and SUBMARINE excursions that let you venture above, below and beyond anything you’ve ever imagined – enabling you to discover a whole new world.




“A polar giant swims alongside us. It edges closer, dipping in and out, from ocean depths to ice sheet and my heart takes flight. From the safety of our submarine we watch it observing us. Eye to eye with nature at its most majestic.” Dominic, 59 Svalbard, Norway N 79° 33’ E 10° 40’


YOU’RE INSAFE HANDS Travelling to the Antarctic and Arctic regions can be challenging thanks to the unpredictability of the elements. As a result we’ve built a discovery yacht that is the safest and most technologically advanced in the world, which in turn allows us to design the most innovative and exciting itineraries possible. Scenic Eclipse will have: - Custom-built stabilisers that are 50% larger than standard, which will give us even greater stability when crossing the Drake Passage. - State-of-the-art fins which can adjust themselves to cope with even the biggest swells. - Dynamic positioning which utilises GPS to ensure accurate and smooth mooring. - A one-of-a-kind ‘mud room’ to enable our guests to easily embark and disembark from their Zodiac, kayak excursion or other activities, no matter what the weather or conditions. This ability to get you on and off the yacht faster means that you’ll have even more time to spend exploring this big, wonderful world. - Scenic Eclipse has been designed according to the old adage, ‘safety in numbers’. Along with an ice-strengthened hull, we have two engine rooms in separate fire zones, two wheel houses and two galleys and refrigeration units. Guests’ safety and comfort remains our number one priority. POLAR RATING Scenic Eclipse will have a Polar Class 6 / 1A Super Rating*, which enables navigation through Arctic and Antarctic waters in summer. Our cruises will be limited to 200 guests in these regions which gives us access to the broadest range of landing sites. *Subject to regulatory approval



“The bluest of seas, a sun-dappled wonderland and before me giant, sun-bleached cliffs rising up, up, up to those extraordinary cobalt domes. As we sail into the harbour a warm breeze kisses my shoulders and I have never felt more alive. I doubt there’s a more romantic place in the world than Santorini.” Ingrid, 53 Santorini, Greece N 36° 23’ E 25°27’
