​Scenic Eclipse departs on maiden voyage

The ultra-luxury Scenic Eclipse, which is been dubbed the world’s first ‘discovery yacht’, has set sail on its maiden voyage from Reykjavik to Quebec.
 
The delivery of the ship to the cruise line was nearly a year later than planned due to several delays at the Uljanik shipyard in Pula.

​Scenic Eclipse departed the shipyard on 26 July 2019. The maiden voyage which departs Reykjavik, Iceland is a 13-night sailing to Greenland and Eastern Canada.
 
The 228-guest (restricted to 200 in Polar regions) six-star cruise ship has been designed and built as a Polar Class 6 vessel, allowing her to cruise to the Antarctic. The ship features two six-person helicopters and its own private six-person submarine, Scenic Neptune, which is capable of diving to depths of over 300 metres.
 
The ship features 114 suites, all which private verandas. Guests can choose from 10 dining options, enjoy a 550m² luxury spa, complete with a fitness centre and separate Yoga and Pilates studio.
 
Scenic Eclipse also features a 240-seat theatre, indoor and outdoor plunge pools as well as various bars and lounges. There is butler service for all guests with an almost 1:1 guest-to-crew ratio.
