The Discovery Yacht Concept

Scenic Eclipse and Eclipse II are described by Scenic as Discovery Yachts — a category designed to bridge ultra-luxury yacht standards with Polar Class expedition capability.

Key differentiators:

• Polar Class 6 ice-strengthened hull (operations from Antarctica to Svalbard, Greenland and the Northwest Passage)
• Two Airbus H145 helicopters for aerial excursions
• One custom 6-person U-Boat Worx submersible for dives to 300 m
• Twin azimuth thrusters with X-Bow design — exceptional manoeuvrability and reduced rolling
• 228-guest capacity with close-to-1:1 crew ratio (172 crew + 20 Discovery Team)
• 10 dining venues, all-suite all-balcony accommodation, full spa with hydrotherapy pool

Eclipse launched 2019, Eclipse II followed 2023 with refined interiors, two new restaurants and an expanded spa.
