Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours has confirmed the successful completion of extensive sea trials of Scenic Eclipse, the World’s First Discovery Yacht, as the vessel moves closer to her official launch on August 15, 2019. The sea trials were held in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Croatia, where the six-star ship has been under construction at the Pula shipyard.

The Scenic Eclipse fleet has been designed with a rating of Ice Class 1A Super (Polar Class 6), the highest of any luxury vessel, coupled with state-of-the-art technology, GPS dynamic position, forward bow thrusters and an electronic Azipod propulsion system, allowing for safe navigation through all waters and sensitive marine environments.

Scenic is confident ongoing industrial action by builders at the Croatian shipyard where the company’s first ocean-going vessel, Scenic Eclipse, is being constructed, will have no impact on the already rescheduled timeline for delivery.
