The second discovery yacht in the Scenic Eclipse fleet will set sail on her maiden voyage from Athens to Lisbon, before her debut season, when the luxury ocean cruise ship will chart its way to the European and Russian Arctic, sailing through both the White Sea and Northwest Passage.
Russia’s White Sea is still in many ways a great mystery due to geographic isolation; however, it is one of the most naturally stunning locations on the planet, and an ideal destination for avid explorers. Meanwhile, the Northwest Passage, which routes from the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean, along the coast of North America, offers an exceptional polar exploration experience.
With up to 10 unique dining experiences featuring a range of flavours and cuisines, you can confidently select your preference to dine when and where the mood strikes. Groups of friends can dine together in the restaurant of their choice or even in the privacy of their own ultra-luxury suite after an active day of excursions.
