Scenic Eclipse one year away

SCENIC founder and md Glen Moroney says the company has seen exceptional interest in the inaugural season of its new “discovery yacht” Scenic Eclipse which will make her formal debut in exactly 12 months’ time.

The ship will be unveiled in Athens on 31 Aug 2018, and Moroney said strong early sales had ensured the first sailing from Athens to Venice, as well as several subsequent departures were completely sold out.

“The level of excitement and anticipation we are getting from our booked guests tells us we have hit the nail right on the head,” he said.

“The market for true luxury in both small ships and expedition itineraries is heating up and we are proud to be able to put forth a ship we believe will exceed expectations,” Moroney added.

Scenic Eclipse is currently under construction in Croatia, and once completed will carry a maximum of 228 guests to the far reaches of the globe.

In May, Scenic was granted membership of the International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators and the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators, with Eclipse built to comply with the highest international standards including the new International Maritime Organization Polar Code requirements.
