Scenic Ocean Cruises

Scenic is a proudly Australian company that began its journey in 1986 as a coach touring specialist. Over the decades, it has evolved into one of the most highly regarded luxury tour and cruise operators in the world. In 2008, Scenic launched its European river cruise programme, quickly followed by expansion into Asia. The brand entered the world of ocean cruising in 2019 with the debut of Scenic Eclipse, a revolutionary expedition yacht that set a new benchmark in luxury exploration, and a second yacht, Scenic Eclipse II followed in 2023.

Scenic Eclipse yachts combine five-star service with a spirit of adventure, offering small-ship luxury cruises that don't compromise on comfort, even in the world's most remote destinations. Whether you're heading to Antarctica or island-hopping in the Mediterranean, Scenic ensures an unforgettable, all-inclusive experience.

Exceptional Dining on Scenic Eclipse Yachts

Dining on board the Scenic Eclipse yachts is nothing short of exceptional. Guests can choose from ten unique culinary experiences, an impressive offering for ships that accommodate just 228 guests each (reduced to 200 in Antarctica).

The main restaurant, Elements, serves Italian cuisine plus prime cuts and seafood, and within this venue, the invitation-only Chef's Table offers an exclusive 11-course degustation menu for an elevated optional experience. Elsewhere on board, Koko's serves contemporary Asian fusion cuisine, with sushi and sake served at the Sushi Bar, and for French fine dining and champagne, head to Lumiére Restaurant. Azure Bar and Cafe offers relaxed dining and the option to enjoy the sea breeze from the outdoor terrace, and for a private meal, enjoy the luxury of in-suite dining.

Scenic Eclipse Yachts' Outstanding Accommodation

Scenic Eclipse's suites are designed to impress. Every suite comes with a private balcony, floor-to-ceiling windows, and luxurious furnishings including a king-sized bed, comfortable seating area, and modern en-suite bathroom. The spacious layout ensures maximum comfort, and amenities include butler service, a stocked minibar, HDTV entertainment system and more.

From the entry-level Verandah Suites to the opulent Spa Suites, featuring spa baths, to the expansive Owner's Penthouse, every detail has been considered to provide a sanctuary at sea on board your Scenic Eclipse yacht.

Enriching Scenic Eclipse Yacht cruises in 2026, 2027 and 2028

Scenic Ocean Cruises offers a broad range of itineraries that balance luxury and adventure. Expedition voyages to Antarctica and the Arctic are a highlight, showcasing the Scenic Eclipse yachts' impressive polar capabilities. However, Scenic also caters to guests who prefer warmer climates, with cruises through the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and South America.

The versatility of the Scenic Eclipse yachts makes them ideal for travellers seeking a hybrid cruise experience, blending the intimacy of expedition-style travel with the comfort and indulgence of classic ocean cruising. Each voyage on board the Scenic Eclipse yachts is categorised into one of three types: 'Cruise Voyages' which offer a classic cruising experience with select included tours and events; 'Expedition Voyages' which are adventures to remote regions including immersive and intrepid excursions; and 'Discovery Voyages' offering a blend of both experiences, with some classic tours and some Zodiac exploration.
