Scenic Eclipse and sister ship, Scenic Eclipse II, are set to receive a significant investment by the Australian-founded luxury travel company, Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours.
Ahead of its Mediterranean season, Scenic Eclipse is currently undergoing a dry dock update that will bring many of the innovations that debuted on Scenic Eclipse II, including its Senses Spa, to the original vessel. Other enhancements will span outdoor dining venues for warm weather enjoyment and the Discovery Team space to Scenic Eclipse.
Additionally, the adventurous spirit of guests aboard Scenic Eclipse II has been ignited with the recent introduction of the Scenic Neptune II submersible and four state-of-the-art SEABOBs. These new sea toys and discovery vessel allow for unique exploration of the ocean’s depths and world-renowned coral reefs with its first season in the South Pacific, Australia and East Antarctica having recently commenced.
