Why Scenic Ocean Cruises

Scenic Ocean Cruises

Scenic Ocean Cruises blends ultra-luxury with expedition-style cruising, offering intimate, all-inclusive voyages aboard its Discovery Yachts. With a focus on design, comfort, and exploration, Scenic reaches some of the world's most striking and remote coasts. Cutting-edge ships, personalized service, and included excursions make each voyage a confident mix of luxury and adventure.

The Scenic Eclipse Fleet: Pioneering Expedition Yachting

Scenic Ocean Cruises operates the Scenic Eclipse and its sister ship, Scenic Eclipse II, two Discovery Yachts built for ultra-luxury exploration. The sleek, modern vessels carry up to 228 guests (200 in polar regions), which keeps the atmosphere intimate. A near 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio means every traveler gets attentive, five-star service throughout the voyage.

All-Inclusive Luxury Onboard

Scenic Ocean Cruises is fully all-inclusive, so guests can relax into the voyage without tallying extras. Highlights include:

  • Gourmet dining across 10 venues, from French cuisine to casual sushi and international specialties, prepared by accomplished chefs.
  • Unlimited premium beverages, with a well-chosen selection of wines, spirits, and specialty drinks available throughout the day.
  • Senses Spa and wellness facilities, including a 5,920-square-foot spa, infrared saunas, a yoga and Pilates studio, and well-equipped fitness centers.
  • A private submarine and two helicopters, so guests can explore below the surface or take in aerial views of remote destinations.
  • Expert-led excursions and Zodiac landings (Zodiacs are sturdy inflatable landing boats), with included shore experiences guided by a team of scientists, naturalists, and historians.

Striking Destinations and Expedition Experiences

Scenic Ocean Cruises sails to all seven continents, with itineraries built for deep exploration and cultural immersion. Guests can experience:

  • Antarctica and the Arctic: towering glaciers, polar wildlife, and otherworldly landscapes, reached on expertly guided Zodiac landings.
  • Norwegian Fjords and the Baltics: dramatic fjords, Arctic scenery, and Viking heritage sites, all from the ship's verandas.
  • The Mediterranean and Europe: historic cities, sun-soaked coastlines, and UNESCO World Heritage sites, paired with Scenic's accommodations and personalized service.
  • Australia, Indonesia, and the South Pacific: coral reefs, lush islands, and rich Indigenous cultures, with access to secluded, little-visited places.
