September 2024 marks a milestone for Scenic Group with the celebration of the fifth anniversary of Scenic Eclipse, the first of the line’s pioneering ultra-luxury ‘Discovery Yachts.’
The fifth anniversary celebrations coincide with September 10, 2019, when Scenic Eclipse was christened by Dame Helen Mirren in New York City. It was a month prior, in August 2019, when Scenic Eclipse officially set sail from Reykjavik, taking to the ocean as one of the most innovative ships of its time, whilst offering truly all-inclusive ultra-luxury.
Crew members spell out '5' in honour of five years of Scenic's Discovery Yachts.
Scenic Eclipse travel to some of the world’s most remote locations, carrying up to just 228 guests, 200 in Antarctica. On board, guests can unwind with the indulgent 550m2 Senses Spa, dedicated gym, Pilates and yoga studio before enjoying culinary flavours at one of up to 10 on board dining experiences.
Scenic Eclipse II joined the fleet in March 2023, raising the bar with amenities like an expanded Senses Spa, a reimagined Sky Deck featuring a Vitality pool, private cabanas, and a Sky Bar.
New destinations in the Oceania region have been added to the extensive portfolio whilst sister brand, Emerald Cruises launched the next generation of luxury yacht cruising (only 55 cabins) with Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara in 2022 and 2023 respectively. Work has just commenced on a brand new luxury yacht, Emerald Kaia, due to set to sail in April 2026.
Glen Moroney, Founder and Chairman, Scenic Group, said: “Since the debut of Scenic Eclipse in 2019, we have set the benchmark in ultra-luxury ocean cruising. The MKM Yachts team and our dedicated crew are very proud of the continuous innovation and unrivalled discovery yacht experiences we’ve created over the past five years.”
Moroney continued: “Scenic Group is committed to establishing luxury yachts as the new growth category in ocean cruising, which extends to the expansion of Emerald Cruises, with the upcoming launch of Emerald Kaia in 2026, alongside Emerald Azzurra and Sakara.”
