Your Captains & Crew

Explore the furthest horizons of the globe led by a team of experts, whose passion and enthusiasm will help you truly immerse yourself into your destination. The 6-star, ultra-luxury and highly advanced Discovery Yachts are helmed by our expert Captains and Crew. They are the finest professionals in their field, selected for their experience, expertise and ability to safely navigate the ship in all climates and conditions. During your voyage, you will have an opportunity to interact with the Captain in a number of ways. Attend drinks hosted by the Captain where they will share more about their role and your journey, and they will be available to answer any questions. Take advantage of the Captain’s open bridge policy visiting the navigational hub and witness a side of cruising you haven’t seen before, enjoying the best view on the ship.

The Discovery Team are experts in their fields including history, geology, science, glaciology, archaeology, nature, photography and marine biology, to name a few. Be safely guided and learn from their insights every step of your cruise so you can truly appreciate many facets of each destination you visit. The Discovery Team are incredibly passionate about their roles and bringing to life every element of your voyage. You come away with a deep understanding and lifelong memories of the cultures, landscapes and wildlife you will encounter. Join them in the Discovery Yacht’s theatre for information sessions or the Observation Terrace. Follow their lead on guided kayak excursions or nature walks. Seamlessly disembark by Zodiac and cruise with your Discovery Team member past dramatic glaciers and fjords. For many past guests, the connection formed with their Discovery Team members becomes one of their most treasured memories.

Your Culinary Team

The culinary team of over 38 chefs from 15 countries is headed by Corporate Executive Chef, Tom Götter. Chef Tom ensures your dining experience on Scenic Eclipse is a multi-cultural epicurean journey of the highest standards. Chef Tom personally oversees the menu development, as well as the Scenic Épicure masterclass tutorials where you can shop with chefs at local markets and watch as they prepare exquisite meals back on board. A highlight for many guests is the Chef’s Table @ Elements experience, a by-invitation-only evening featuring an 11-course dégustation matched to fine wines.

Your Butlers

All guests can enjoy the services of a professional butler, specifically trained to meet Scenic’s exacting standards and cater for your every need. Our butlers take pride in looking after you, ensuring you have every chance to relax while you leave all details and arrangements in their capable hands. They’ll start by unpacking your luggage (if you wish), as you settle into your luxurious suite, and help you select from the pillow menu, as well as learning about your premium beverage preferences so they can re-stock your mini-bar daily. On any given day, they may bring you your morning coffee, take care of your laundry, serve your in-suite dinner or afternoon drinks on your private verandah and make your dinner and spa treatment+ reservations. They will provide a discreet yet trusted and friendly presence throughout your voyage, offering you complete peace of mind to truly unwind.

Your Hotel Director & Team

Consistent with the 6-star standards of our suites, which exceed many of the best hotels, we have the finest team of Hotel Directors on board to take charge of all accommodation and catering operations. The Hotel Director and their dedicated team ensure every detail meets your expectations, starting from the moment you check in through to the services desk, housekeeping, butler team, room service and the exemplary cleanliness and hygiene standards throughout the entire ship.

Your Spa Team

Stepping into Senses Spa, you’ll feel an immediate sense of calm and tranquility, not only due to the wafting scented aromas of essential oils, the thoughtful lighting and design, but also the warm greeting by our expert Senses Spa practitioners. The Spa team is headed by Raj Dhariwal who oversees spa operations and staff – and Scenic’s partnership with ESPA, an internationally recognised spa provider offering luxurious pampering treatments+ designed to cater to all your needs.
