Newest ultra-luxury discovery yacht, Scenic Eclipse II, set to launch on April 12, 2023

Scenic announces several updates on the construction for the highly anticipated Scenic Eclipse II.

HOLLYWOOD, FL – Truly all-inclusive ultra-luxury cruise operator, Scenic, has confirmed that their newest ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht, Scenic Eclipse II, is scheduled to set sail in April 2023 with construction advancing as planned. Her inaugural voyage will be the Incredible Iberian Discovery, which sails for 11 days from Lisbon to Barcelona. Earlybird offers are available on many sailings with savings of up to 20%.

As the construction of Scenic Eclipse II reaches its final stages, Scenic has provided a glimpse into the numerous enhancements to the new Discovery Yacht. The development of the build is showcased in a newly released video from James Griffiths, Vice President of Marine Operations, Scenic Group: Scenic Eclipse II  

What’s New for Scenic Eclipse II
Scenic Eclipse set the benchmark in wellness with its expansive 5,920² ft. Senses Spa complete with dedicated male and female wellness areas appointed with saunas, steam room, temperature-controlled plunge pools, relaxation lounges and a manicure/pedicure studio. The outdoor terrace delights guests with relaxation lounges and vitality spa. And Scenic Eclipse features the only dedicated Yoga and Pilates studio for a ship its size. Scenic Eclipse II continues this commitment, with the expansion of the steam room area to include aromatherapy, an integrated ice fountain and experience showers, and the introduction of a KLAFS custom salt therapy lounge with heated beds, enhanced with aromatherapy scents designed to benefit mind, body and soul.

Due to the success of the state-of-the-art KLAFS Infrared chairs on Scenic Eclipse, designed to relieve back pain and encourage muscle relaxation, an expanded dedicated infrared ‘ocean view' lounge with color light therapy to energize and reinvigorate skin cells has also been introduced into the wellness area on board Scenic Eclipse II.

On Deck 10, a new bar area with indoor and outdoor seating will be a highlight for guests to enjoy the stunning views with a drink in hand, as they cruise through Antarctica, the Arctic, the Mediterranean or the Caribbean. A large, oval-shaped pool with comfortable relaxation space will also be a new feature. A perfect venue for sail-away deck parties.
