Newly delivered Scenic Eclipse II heads to maiden cruise
Scenic Group founder and Chairman Glen Moroney showcased Scenic Eclipse II to the Croatian prime minister and other dignitaries before she sailed to Lisbon for her maiden 11-day ‘Iberian Discovery’ voyage to Barcelona this Thursday.
As reported here, the near identical sister of Scenic Eclipse was built at the 3 Maj Shipyard in Rijeka.
‘This project once again confirmed for us an important lesson that we have learned through the years of working in Croatia, namely that Croatia has a valuable, extremely high-quality engineering staff, as well as hardworking and skilled shipbuilders,’ Moroney said.
‘When you combine that with the great project management by the MKM Yachts team, you get an outstanding result like this,’ he said.
Moroney’s vision
‘The entrepreneurial spirit and vision that Mr Moroney brought first to the Uljanik shipyard in Pula and now here are Maj 3, created another pearl of Croatian shipbuilding which made a huge contribution to Croatian industry, as well as to numerous workers and subcontractors,’ Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said.
Before the 228-passenger Scenic Eclipse II sailed from Rijeka, Moroney presented Plenkovic with a commemorative model of the ship.
