Scenic Eclipse Frequently Asked Questions

Scenic Eclipse sets the benchmark in 6-star ultra-luxury, offering guests unrivalled on board and onshore experiences in the extraordinary destinations in Europe, the Mediterranean and the Americas. Here are some of the questions we get asked the most by our guests.

Why is Scenic Eclipse’s design important when visiting Europe and the Americas?

Scenic Eclipse’s design enables access to small ports, villages and unique destinations. With a strengthened hull and custom-built stabilisers, 50% larger than any ship of its size, the Discovery Yachts glide with sophisticated ease through all water conditions. Your journey will always be comfortable and safe. What is a GPS Dynamic Positioning system?

Scenic Eclipse features state-of-the-art technology with an advanced GPS Dynamic Positioning system that holds the Discovery Yacht in position, negating the need to drop anchor on ecologically sensitive seabeds. This technology ensures we can visit the most remote regions and leave as small a footprint as possible.

Who are the Discovery Team?

Each Discovery Voyage features up to a 15-member and Cruise Voyages feature up to 4-member Discovery Team onboard, each handpicked for their diverse expertise. Marine biologist, ornithologist, historians and naturalist are just a few of the experts on board, elevating the guest experience in the extraordinary destinations we visit. The Discovery Team will lead you to remarkable sites on once-in-a-lifetime excursions. On board, they are on hand to share their incredible insights and highlights of the region.
