A World of Discovery

Scenic Eclipse voyages to extraordinary worldwide destinations

Experience the wonders of every continent in 6-star ultra-luxury on board Scenic Eclipse, The World’s First Discovery Yachts™. Cruising further than ever before, the new 2023/24 season includes 85 itineraries sailing to over 50 countries across all seven continents, making it Scenic’s largest-ever collection of ultra-luxury ocean voyages.

Indonesian Archipelago, the Solomon Islands & West Papua

Lying between the Pacific and Indian oceans, Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world comprising of more than 17,000 islands. With many of its people coming from Melanesian, Islam, Portuguese and Dutch descent, Indonesia is a melting pot of culture. Located in the ‘Coral Triangle’, the islands of Raja Ampat are extraordinary: mountainous atolls blanketed with rainforests and thick jungle, some with active volcanoes, fringed by beaches with crystal clear water and coral cays boasting dynamic ecosystems.

Australia

Home to the oldest civilisation on Earth, Australia is an ancient land of vivid contrasts. At its heart a red desert stretches to the turquoise ocean of the Kimberley coast, a region with ample natural wonders such as the Horizontal Waterfalls. While the East Coast is an aquatic paradise, fringed by tropical islands and vibrant reefs. Hidden in the country’s diverse terrain is the story of Australia’s indigenous people, told through sacred sites and rock art, and found throughout the Kimberley and Arnhem Land.

Polynesia & the Pacific Islands

Described as heaven on earth by many, spanning a quarter of the globe and encompassing around 40,000 islands. Home to some of the most isolated communities in the world, with a distinct traditional way of life. No two islands are alike - the volcanic terrain of Tonga’s Hunga Island, the Isle of Pines’ endemic pine trees that line the white beaches, and Fiji’s, Fulanga Island, which hides in a crystalline lagoon, are just some of the incredible landscapes.

A land of pristine beauty, each day in Antarctica will be unique with extraordinary expedition experiences. Explore the remarkable landscapes where wildlife is abundant, from the historic Falkland Islands, busy beaches of South Georgia and incomparable Antarctica. Scenic Eclipse was designed for polar exploration, from Zodiac and kayak excursions past lounging seals and helicopter flights^ over ancient glaciers, to the first permitted submarine^ dives in South Georgia. Experience unrivalled extraordinary moments of wonder only The World’s First Discovery Yachts can offer.

The Arctic & Fjords

Wake up to the majestic fjords of Norway, Greenland’s glaciers and the intriguing geology of Iceland, a voyage to the Arctic is unlike any other. The Arctic region is a magical land where the sun stays up above the horizon well past midnight in the summer. Tales of brave Viking warriors are still shared over an evening drink, and spot the majestic wildlife roaming the land. Dive below the icy landscape of Greenland in Scenic Neptune, submarine^ or view Iceland’s volcanoes from the air in one of two on board helicopters^.
