Touted as the most technologically-advanced and innovative vessel in the world, the Scenic Eclipse is a sight to behold. The sophisticated 228-passenger luxury cruise ship was christened on September 10, 2019, in New York City.

What makes ultra-luxurious expedition ship a SIX-star product?

Let's begin the endless list of amenities with two six-passenger helicopters and one six-passenger submarine, providing eye-catching experiences both in the sky and below the sea. The ship boasts 114 luxurious suites across five decks, a massive Senses Spa, ten dining venues, butler service to suites, and a staff-to-guest ratio of 1:1.

The entire Scenic Eclipse experience is seamlessly-designed with all-inclusive coordination. All airplane flights, transfers, land-based shore excursions, restaurants, premium-brand beverages, pre-departure hotel, in-suite mini-bar and staff gratuities are included in one set fare.
