Scenic blankets all seven continents in 2024-25

CRUISE_Scenic_ice.jpg
Scenic Eclipse returns to Antarctica at the same time Scenic Eclipse II makes her inaugural voyage to the white continent
Twin ultra-luxury discovery yachts Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Eclipse II will visit a combined 500-plus ports across 63 countries on all seven continents in the Scenic Group’s 2024-25 ocean sailing season.

Bookings have opened, with newly launched itineraries selling at two-for-one fares and with free return air travel.

There are also discounts for booking consecutive cruises and for solo and group travellers.

Antarctica together

Both ships will be in Antarctica at the same time.

In December Scenic Eclipse II’s 24-day inaugural voyage to the white continent will explore the east coast and Weddell Sea, with the option of flying over the frozen landscape in one of the two onboard helicopters and of diving underneath the icy water in the ship’s submarine.

Scenic Eclipse’s 13-day ‘Beyond the Antarctic Circle’ voyage from Argentina will cross the Antarctic Circle into one of the hardest to reach places on Earth.

Japan circumnavigation

Other highlights of the season include cruising Australia’s Kimberley and Great Barrier Reef, tasting New Zealand’s renowned wines, exploring the Spice Islands and circumnavigating Japan.
