Expedition

Scenic Ocean

Two helicopters, a submarine, and all-butler service for just 228 guests. Ultra-luxury discovery yachts built for the bold.

Discovery Yachts, Not Cruise Ships

Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Eclipse II aren’t really cruise ships — they’re six-star discovery yachts. At just 228 guests, they’re intimate enough to feel personal, yet equipped with two helicopters and a custom-built submarine that let you explore above and below in ways no other line can match. Scenic’s preferred partner rates are available now — book early for the best suite selection.

Expedition Without Sacrifice

PC6 ice-class hulls take these ships deep into polar regions, carrying just 200 guests when sailing Antarctica or the Arctic. But this isn’t roughing it. Every suite has a private verandah and dedicated butler. The Senses Spa spans nearly 6,000 square feet with a salt therapy lounge, yoga studio, and vitality pools. Up to ten dining venues and nine bars mean you’ll never eat or drink in the same place twice if you don’t want to. It’s the definition of expedition cruising without compromise.

Above and Below

The helicopters open up heli-hiking, heli-fishing, and aerial sightseeing that’s impossible from sea level. The submarine takes small groups below the surface for guided dives — seeing the Great Barrier Reef or Antarctic ice shelves from underwater is the kind of experience that stays with you. These aren’t add-ons or upsells. They’re included.

Destinations & Experiences

Beyond the poles, Scenic Eclipse sails the Mediterranean, Greek Islands, Iceland, and South Pacific. Their small-ship format accesses ports and anchorages that larger vessels can’t reach, and the expedition team includes marine biologists, geologists, and ornithologists who turn every destination into a masterclass.
