ECLIPSE PREVIEW RELEASE

WELCOME We’ve always sought out that which is beyond the horizon. It’s in our very nature. To seek out new experiences, landscapes and cultures. To venture across the mighty oceans of the world.

It has to be one of the great thrills of being alive. To take the Scenic route. Introducing Scenic Eclipse, the World’s First Discovery Yacht.

– From the Arctic to Antarctica and everywhere in between, ocean cruising has never felt like this. Thanks to 6-star luxury and world-class innovation, every aspect of your cruise has been designed to provide you with the ultimate experience of a lifetime.

Discover a whole new world.

We zoom in over the top of the great caldera.

The entire coastline of southern Italy before me. I never in a million years thought I would ever have the chance to fly high over an actual volcano. A dream come true.

WONDER We all strive to feel a closer connection with our surroundings, moments when we move beyond the physical and become truly emotionally engaged in an experience with all of our senses — a moment of wonder.

Wonder is a personal emotion, it’s about the heart and the mind, joy, surprise, curiosity and awe.

Wonder can be a whole day or a fleeting moment.

Travel is about more than distance.

It offers us not just a journey across the world to see new sights but to the heart of what it means to be human.

It allows us to step outside our normal parameters and become enriched by what we encounter. It presents us with limitless possibilities to become more than we were before.

At Scenic we celebrate the art of wonder through travel. Our aim is to elevate your trip from a mere holiday into a journey of discovery.

Never lose your sense of wonder.

Some of the finest archaeological records of ancient Greek life can be found in the vast wealth of its pottery. Made from local clay and fired many times before being painted with complex patterns and scenes from both daily life and Greek mythology, these relics are undeniably beautiful and have endured the test of time.

Spend time discovering the myths and fascinating world of this volatile creature, along with the bustling cities of Messina and Catania.

Dramatic, colourful and surreal, the rock formations of Greece’s Milos Island are a revelation. Famous for being the birthplace of the iconic sculpture ‘Venus de Milo’, we give you plenty of time to explore.

The epicentre of glamour, movie stars and wealth, Cannes is a must-see. Spend the day getting to know this decadent enclave, then, after dinner on board Scenic Eclipse, you can venture out once more to see the sights by night. French Champagne and star-spotting are compulsory.

Bustling Barcelona A beautiful seaside location, endless art and culture, world-class restaurants and bars, an architectural heritage that goes back 2,000 plus years and a vibrant and welcoming local population, Barcelona has got to be one of the most exciting cities in the world right now.

Embrace this feisty and passionate city through a series of shore excursions designed to showcase this Spanish gem.

Basilica beauty World Heritage-listed and a mosaic lover’s dream, the Italian city of Ravenna is today a modest town with a hidden and fascinating heritage. For over 300 years it was the capital of the Western Roman Empire, chief city of the Ostrogoth Kingdom of Italy and nexus of a powerful Byzantine exarchate. During this time art in the capital flourished, particularly in the medium of mosaics. We give you plenty of time to discover the 4th to 6th century gold, emerald and sapphire masterworks that the author Dante called ‘a symphony of colour’.

Visit the Basilica di San Vitale in Ravenna.

Dating from the mid-6th century, this beautiful domed church contains what are probably the finest Byzantine mosaics in the western world.

Mount Etna

The essence of Sicily

Explore Sicily’s Mount Etna. The largest active volcano in Europe, it’s in an almost constant state of activity. The volcano emerged about 35,000 years ago, and not surprisingly the ancients viewed it with awe.

Along a curved harbour, the city of Messina is a gateway to the treasures of Sicily.

With a magnificent cathedral and wide boulevardes, it’s a bustling hub worth spending time in - if for no other reason than to sample the local swordfish, which is famous among foodies.

The Greeks believed that Vulcan, god of fire and metalwork, had his workshop here, and that Polyphemus, the one-eyed Cyclops, lived in a cave on its slopes.

Spend time discovering the myths and fascinating world of this volatile creature.

Soar above this incredible volcano in our helicopter* to experience its sheer size, before returning to earth to take a cable car ride to the top - walking around the rim of an active volcano has to be one of the most exciting experiences in the world.

Catania on the other hand is a Sicilian town known for its many beautiful Baroque buildings and adept use of the lava which has at times invaded the town. The Teatro Romano (Roman Theatre) was built in the 2nd century BC on the site of a Greek building. The steps are made of lava, while the orchestra and seating rows are covered in marble. Adjacent to the Teatro Romano is the Odeon, a small theatre built entirely of lava. You’ll have plenty of time to explore these curios.

Mystical Morocco Let yourself be swept away by the nostalgia and romance of Casablanca. A city of contrasts, with one foot firmly in its rich past, it is also a city looking firmly towards the horizon. One of the great monuments to its future is the extraordinary Hassan II Mosque. With strong Moorish influences and perched on a platform high above the Atlantic Ocean, over 6,000 Moroccan master craftsmen and artisans were employed to work with local materials to create the intricate decorations that embellish the entire structure.

In ancient times, the Greeks and Phoenicians believed that there were two points which marked the limit to the known world. The Rock of Gibraltar was one of these Pillars of Hercules and was known to the Romans as Mons Calpe, the other pillar being Mons Abyla or Jebel Musa on the African side of the strait.

From its castle to the magnificent Roman amphitheatre, this is a history buffs dream come true. Our itinerary will offer up plenty of chances to unearth this unique slice of antiquity yourself – take a walking tour, kayak around the harbour or listen to the many stories our Discovery Team have about this unique place.

Cadiz comes alive The port town of Cadiz in Spain is generally considered to be the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in Europe, founded as Gadir by the Phoenicians in about 1,100 BC. Encircled by water it is the ultimate Mediterranean wonderland. It is a place that has inspired the architecture of places far across the sea from Havana, Cuba to Puerto Rico’s San Juan. Its magnificent cathedral is but one reason to visit and thanks to Scenic Eclipse’s discovery elements you’ll be able to explore even further. Get out on the water in a kayak, explore the depths of the Atlantic in our submarine* or take an e-bike for a tour of the ancient sea walls and lively city centre filled to the brim with welcoming locals.

Maritime legacy

Discover the wonders of Porto. Scenic Eclipse takes you right into the heart of this gorgeous town’s harbour where you’ll stay the night giving you plenty of time to discover its charms. In the Old Town, Roman, Medieval and Baroque influences create a delightful architectural mix and the friendly locals will make your heart sing.

Discover the maritime history of pretty Cobh on the south coast of Ireland.

Perched on the edge of the secondlargest natural harbour in the world - after Sydney Harbour in Australia - Cobh (pronounced ‘cove’) is one of Ireland’s prettiest waterfront towns. With a rainbow of colourful buildings and watched over by the imposing St. Colman’s Cathedral with its carillon of 47 bells, it’s a bustling place situated in the food capital of Ireland, County Cork.

Medieval masterpiece Visit the place where medieval pilgrims once walked the Way of St. James for months to arrive at Santiago Cathedral, home of the relics of St. James in Santiago de Compostela. In fact there is a groove worn into the stone on the pillar just inside the entrance, a reminder of the sheer amount of hopeful pilgrims who have walked through these doors.

Infamous as the final port of call for the Titanic, Cobh also possesses a poignant past when during the horrific Irish Famine years more than 70,000 people left Ireland through the port of Cobh to escape starvation and begin new lives in countries like Australia and the United States.

Twelve kilometres off the coast of southwest Ireland the Skellig Islands lie in wait. Skellig Michael and Little Skellig are steep, remote and windswept, and have also played a major role in Irish history and culture. One of the early wonders of Christian Ireland, Skellig Michael is the home of a monastery that dates back to the 6th century. Abandoned in the 12th century, its remains are now an important World Heritage-listed Site. Skellig Michael was also the site where key scenes from the most recent Star Wars film, The Force Awakens were shot in 2015. Together with Little Skellig (which is closed to the public), both islands are at the centre of a 364
