Scenic Eclipse II: From polar to tropical expeditions

The 228-passenger Scenic Eclipse II from Scenic is a luxury expedition ship — dubbed a "discovery yacht" — that provides an ultra-luxury cruise experience. It's designed for both polar and tropical expeditions, offering guests the opportunity to explore remote and pristine areas around the world. The ship is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and the 176 crew members on board ensure a high level of personalized service.

Amenities on Scenic Eclipse II include spacious all-suite accommodations, multiple dining options ranging from casual to fine dining, a spa and wellness area, indoor and outdoor pools, and a discovery center for educational presentations. The yacht provides Zodiacs, kayaks and a submarine for exploration. It also comes equipped with a helicopter for scenic flights, offering unique perspectives of the destinations visited. The combination of luxury, adventure and the focus on intimate, immersive experiences makes Scenic Eclipse II a standout in the world of cruise travel.

Scenic Eclipse II launched in April 2023 as the sister ship to Scenic Eclipse and includes several features not found on the original Eclipse,  including a new bar with indoor and outdoor seating as well as an oval-shaped pool.
