Now this is ultra-luxury
There’s cruising the Mediterranean in luxury, and then there’s cruising the Med in ultra-luxury, which is how it’s done on board Scenic Eclipse, The World’s First Discovery Yacht.
The Discovery Yacht has set the benchmark 6-star cruising, with a near 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, 114 all-verandah suites, genuinely all-inclusive pricing and itineraries which combine classic destinations with hidden gems. Here’s just a few reasons to book your Scenic Eclipse 2025 or 2026 Mediterranean voyage now.
Unmatched Luxury
Scenic Eclipse offers a truly 6-star cruising experience. Each of the 114 suites have a verandah, separate sleeping and living zones, butler service, all-inclusive mini bar and 24-hour in-suite dining. Panorama Suites have private terraces with sun loungers, while the Owner’s Penthouse Suites have terraces with spa pool. With a ratio of almost 1:1 crew-to-guests (including 38 chefs), guests will want for nothing. The indulgent 550m2 Senses Spa# includes an infrared sauna, steam room, plunge and Vitality pools, yoga and Pilates studio, gym, a KLAFS salt therapy lounge, therapeutic showers and treatments with ESPA products. There’s up to 10 dining experiences and nine bars and lounges as well as a state-of-the-art theatre.
Top tip: There are more than 130 whiskeys to sample at the Scenic Lounge Bar.
Smaller Ports
Scenic Eclipses Mediterranean voyages will take you to all of the big-ticket destinations, with the compact 168m length of the Discovery Yacht, along with its GPS Dynamic Positioning System (which allows it to stay in place without dropping anchor into sensitive areas) allowing the ship to gain access to the hidden gems and untouched ports, often were other vessels simply cannot visit.
Top tip: The Ultimate Mediterranean Journey itinerary stops in Mgarr on the island of Gozo with its green rolling hills, historical sites, crystal clear waters and 300 days of sunshine. It also calls into Lipari, one of the World Heritage-listed Aeolian Islands. These seven volcanic outcrops rise dramatically from the sea off Sicily.
Exclusive Experiences
Each voyage includes Scenic Enrich events and a range of Scenic Freechoice shore excursions. Scenic Enrich offer exclusive events, behind-the-scenes access and money can’t buy experiences, while Freechoice is a carefully curated menu of fascinating local excursions led by local experts tailored to your interest, pace and activity level.
Top tip: Join one of Scenic Eclipse’s chefs for a trip to a local market to choose ingredients ahead of a on board masterclass at Epicure.
Truly All-Inclusive
All-inclusive really means all-inclusive on board Scenic Eclipse. The cruise price includes wifi, all tips on board and ashore, the use of e-bikes, water equipment, Scenic’s Enrich and Freechoice shore excursions, wellness facilities and classes, return airport transfers, a choice of dining and all beverages+ apart from the Chairman’s selection of fine wines.
Top tip: In warmer locations such as the Mediterranean guests can access the water from the Scenic Eclipse’s built-in marina~. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy on an ocean swim.
