Back in 2019, Scenic unveiled the World's First Discovery Yacht - a ship that truly changed the cruising game by combining cutting-edge technology and bucket-list-ticking adventures with serious sophistication and pure six-star luxury. Thanks to its expedition equipment and state-of-the-art design, the mighty Scenic Eclipse is perhaps best known for its polar itineraries, but five amazing new voyages in Europe and the Mediterranean have recently been revealed, bringing enriching and eye-opening experiences a little closer to home...
Discover
Aptly described as a 'Discovery Yacht', every element of Scenic Eclipse was designed to offer complete luxury as you embark on your adventure, and the ship has recently been reimagined for long summer days in the Mediterranean. The sun-kissed Deck 10 has been enhanced with plush new cabanas, deck chairs, two vitality pools and the Panorama Bar - perfect for (complimentary) drinks in the Mediterranean sun. What's more, The Yacht Club has been redesigned to offer ample space for dining and relaxing alfresco.

Scenic Eclipse is known (amongst other things) for its exceptional discovery equipment - including Zodiacs, kayaks, the Scenic Neptune submarine and not one but two state-of-the-art helicopters for bird's-eye exploration. Now it's venturing to warmer waters, these will be joined by Tiwal sail boats, stand-up paddleboards, wakeboards and large inflatable trampolines. Fear not though, the ship's Discovery Team will remain on hand to ensure you get the most from your voyage.
Expertly handcrafted by Scenic Journey Designers, there is an extensive range of shore excursions all included in your Mediterranean voyage. Scenic Discovery excursions will whisk you on exploratory guided itineraries aboard Zodiacs, kayaks and e-bikes, allowing for a full adventure experience, while Scenic Enrich brings you exclusive cultural experiences - from flamenco performances to cookery demonstrations. Alternatively, Scenic Freechoice allows the flexibility to pick excursions based on your interests and preferred activity level. Whether you want to learn more about culture, explore by e-bike, unearth some history or delve into the landscape, there will be an excursion to inspire as you explore Europe on one of these exciting new adventures...

We're talking transfers, tips, Wi-Fi, shore excursions, use of the incredible Zodiacs, kayaks and e-bikes, and all the dining options I talked about earlier. Not only, that you can enjoy the finest selection of premium branded beverages (with a choice of over 100 whiskeys) plus soft drinks, speciality teas and Illy coffees at no additional charge - whether in the bars, restaurants or your full in-suite mini-bar that is restocked daily. With sustainability in mind, you'll receive a refillable water bottle for all onshore excursions.
