Scenic has abandoned plans to bring its ultra-luxury yacht, Scenic Eclipse, to Australian waters next month.

Scenic is set to offer guests aboard its six-star Scenic Eclipse yacht the opportunity to take to the mountain slopes of Antarctica on a heli-skiing experience.

Scenic has confirmed plans to deploy its six-star, ultra-luxury yacht to Australian waters for the first time in mid-2021.

Australian luxury cruise operator Scenic has unveiled its 2022 Preview Europe River Cruising brochure, offering Super Earlybird offers on a collection of itineraries.

Scenic Group has launched its 2022/23 Scenic Eclipse Worldwide Discovery Voyages Collection. The program will see Scenic Eclipse explores six continents, visiting 35 countries across 48 voyages and provides travel agent partners with a range of new destinations to offer clients.

Scenic has unveiled its 2021/22 Australia program, introducing a new journey through the Kimberley and smaller group sizes which will be capped at 24 passengers.

Luxury travel company, Scenic, has become only the second Australian firm accepted into the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) as a full-fledged operator.

The Scenic Group’s newly formed shipbuilding company, MKM Yachts, was granted a sub concession of the 3. Maj Shipyard in Rijeka, Croatia, at an official signing ceremony on 2 July 2020. The arrangement provides Scenic with more than 21,400 square metres of the shipyard’s dock for the development and production of its ultra-luxury polar yacht fleet over the next 10 years.

Two Operators, five provisional Operators and five new Associates have joined the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO).

Work has officially commenced on Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours’ second polar cruise ship in Croatia. The first sheets of steel for the hull of Scenic Eclipse II were cut last Friday [24 April 2020] at the 3. Maj dockyard in Rijeka following a low-key ceremony.

It would be an understatement to say the global coronavirus pandemic is morphing the entire travel and cruise industry landscape at the moment. The business downturn continues to exacerbate as tens of thousands of travel and tourism jobs are paused in an effort to ride out this storm.

LATTE was recently a guest aboard Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours’ Discovery Yacht, Scenic Eclipse, where we sailed the Caribbean Sea visiting ports in Jamaica, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and Mexico. We took the opportunity to speak with a number of crew and personnel while on board to learn more about their cruise industry background, their reason for joining Scenic Eclipse in its inaugural season, and some of their favourite ports and parts of the World’s First Discovery Yacht.
