How can guests make the most of their culinary journey?

I always say: try something you would never normally order. It’s very easy to elevate a lobster. Instead, we want to surprise with really humble ingredients. When guests say ‘I’ve never had food like this’, then I know we are doing the right thing.

What inspires you when creating these ultra-luxury dining experiences?

A lot of people say cruise ships aren’t as good as restaurants on land. So, I want to prove them all wrong. And that comes down to the crew - we truly believe we can make a change here. We’ve done it in many aspects already, like elevating street food to luxury at the Night Market experience.

Choose from over 130 whiskeys at the Scenic Lounge Bar, sip on a cocktail in your cabana near the Sky Bar or unwind in the Observation Lounge with a specialty tea or coffee. Our skilled bartenders will craft the perfect drink to enhance your on board experience.

Scenic Eclipse - Oceania Guide 30
Vitality Pool

Workout gear for sessions in the PURE: Yoga & Pilates studio or at Scenic Eclipse’s state-of-the-art gym. Swimwear if you want to relax in the inviting Vitality Pools or enjoy water activities on postcard perfect beaches. Light jumper or scarves or shawls to layer up if it gets colder at night.

What to wear on board?

A good guideline is to keep it casual and comfortable during the day, and smart casual – or even a little dressed-up if you wish – in the evening. Some male guests choose to pack a sports coat or blazer with a collared shirt. Women may chose to wear smart dresses or attire, especially when dining at specialty restaurants or watching a performance in the theatre.

Your ultra-luxury suite amenities

Each Scenic Eclipse suite is fully stocked with luxurious ESPA products and a Dyson hairdryer.

Complimentary Scenic water bottle

Reflecting our commitment to a sustainable future, you’ll receive an insulated water bottle to refill at our on board filtered water stations during your journey.
