Scenic Eclipse II, the recently named ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht by Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, will begin her inaugural season in the Caribbean this autumn, offering itineraries ranging from 3 to 11 days. This presents North American guests with the opportunity to experience a taste of true luxury while sailing close to home.
Designed for global exploration and equally suitable for destinations like Antarctica or the Mediterranean, Scenic Eclipse II truly shines in the Caribbean, where its warm-water amenities create an exceptional experience. These amenities include custom swimming platforms, a wide range of watersports equipment, beach barbecues, two state-of-the-art helicopters, and an eight-guest submarine, enabling guests to enjoy the ship both inside and out.
Starting in mid-October, Scenic Eclipse II offers four different ways for guests to explore Bermuda and The Bahamas, along with experiencing the ship itself.
The 5-day "Taste of Bermuda" itinerary (Oct. 13-17) takes guests from Portland, Maine, to St George, Bermuda. Along the way, guests can enjoy the ship's amenities and explore Bermuda through sightseeing drives that pass by pink sand beaches and charming island architecture. The itinerary also includes harbor cruises and visits to the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute, providing insights into the famous Bermuda Triangle. Suite prices start at US$2,245 per person based on double occupancy.
The five-day "Bermuda Escapade" (Oct. 17-21) allows guests to explore Bermuda on their own before embarking on the ship and experiencing all that Scenic Eclipse II has to offer. After arriving in Miami Florida, guests will enjoy a final breakfast on the ship before departing for the airport or continuing with independent exploration. Suite prices are available from US$2,245.
The three-day "Taste of the Bahamas" sailing (Oct. 21-23) departs from Miami and arrives in Nassau, Bahamas, with a stop at Andros Island. During the visit to Andros Island, guests can enjoy the pristine paradise by swimming or snorkeling in the turquoise waters, relaxing on white sand beaches, spotting the Bahama Parrot and other birds, or exploring the unique geography of the island. After bidding farewell to the island, the ship continues to Nassau where guests disembark. Suite prices start at US$1,495.
For a more extensive experience, guests can choose the 11-day "Bermuda & The Bahamas" itinerary (Oct. 13-23), which departs from Portland, Maine, and concludes in Nassau, Bahamas. The journey begins with the delights of fresh lobster and vibrant fall colors in Maine and ends in the Bahamas, where guests are greeted by crystal-clear waters and swaying palm trees. Suite prices for this itinerary start from US$10,045.
During any of these itineraries, guests can indulge in all the offerings of Scenic Eclipse II, including 10 distinctive dining experiences that cater to various culinary preferences.
