Go Further: Discover the World Onboard Scenic Discovery Yachts

Scenic Discovery Yachts have been custom-designed to explore some of the world’s most fascinating destinations while maintaining the comfort and refinement of an ultra-luxury yacht. With no more than 228 guests onboard Scenic Eclipse and 270 onboard Scenic Ikon, journeys feel intimate and highly personalised. Spacious public areas and an exceptional crew-to-guest ratio create an atmosphere where attentive service comes naturally. On Expedition Voyages, a specialist Discovery Team of up to 20 experts joins guests throughout the journey, with up to 15 experts on Discovery Voyages. Their knowledge across areas such as marine biology, geology, history and local environments adds another layer of understanding to each destination. Depending on the voyage, included exploration may take place by Zodiac, kayak or stand-up paddleboard, allowing you to experience landscapes from multiple perspectives.

Travelling by yacht creates a different relationship with a destination. Rather than simply arriving in a place, the journey itself becomes part of the experience, with coastlines, waterways and changing landscapes unfolding around you as you travel. Scenic Discovery Yachts sail across a broad collection of regions around the world, offering opportunities to experience everything from remote wilderness and polar environments to historic ports, island communities and dramatic coastal landscapes. You might find yourself surrounded by the vast ice formations of Antarctica, navigating the rugged waterways of the Canadian Arctic or discovering Australia’s ancient Kimberley coastline. Elsewhere, journeys can reveal the fjords and glaciers of South America, the islands and coastlines of the Mediterranean, the cultural richness of Europe and other remarkable regions best approached from the sea. Each destination brings something different, but the experience is connected by the ability to travel closer to the landscape and see familiar and lesser-known places from a new perspective. For travellers who value both exploration and comfort, this creates the freedom to experience distinctly different parts of the world without compromising on how you travel. One journey may be shaped by wildlife and remote wilderness, another by food, history and culture, while others may combine several elements within the same voyage.

The experience onboard is just as considered as the places visited. Rather than dining being simply a part of the daily routine, Scenic Discovery Yachts offer a broad range of culinary experiences designed to give guests variety throughout their journey. Guests can enjoy up to 15 included culinary experiences onboard Scenic Ikon and up to 10 onboard Scenic Eclipse, spanning relaxed venues, fine dining and specialty restaurants. With no additional surcharges for specialty dining, there is freedom to choose what suits the moment, whether that means a relaxed meal after a day ashore or a more refined evening experience. Menus draw from global flavours, regional inspiration and world-class cuisine, allowing dining to complement the destinations being explored while still offering plenty of choice. Premium beverages are also included throughout the day across the yachts’ bars and lounges. The selection extends from wines, spirits and cocktails to Champagne, barista-made coffee, specialty teas and more than 130 whiskies. With different venues and atmospheres to discover, evenings on board can feel every bit as varied as the days spent exploring ashore.
 

Every suite onboard Scenic Discovery Yachts has been designed to offer generous space, privacy and a genuine sense of retreat. Suites range from 32 square metres to 270 square metres and feature separate lounge and sleeping zones alongside a private verandah or terrace, creating a comfortable space to enjoy the scenery even when you are not out exploring. Butler service is included with every suite, adding another layer of personalised attention throughout the voyage. A personalised mini-bar is replenished daily, while luxury ESPA amenities, Dyson hairdryers, in-suite dining, guest laundry and thoughtful in-suite details help make everyday life on board feel effortless. After a day spent exploring ashore or out on the water, having your own private sanctuary becomes an important part of the experience. You can enjoy a quiet morning on your verandah, relax between activities or simply watch the horizon from the comfort of your suite before the next destination comes into view.
