Scenic Eclipse will welcome 50 travel agents onboard during her 2024 summer season in the UK. Visits include:
- Isle of Man on Thursday 6 June 2024
- Dublin on Friday 7 June 2024
- Portrush on Saturday 8 June 2024

Agents will board the 6* ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht Scenic Eclipse during her upcoming UK & Ireland season.
14 weeks into his role as Scenic & Emerald Cruises’ Director of Sales, Partnerships and Strategic Growth, Nick Hughes has outlined his vision for more agents to experience Scenic’s river and ocean products.
“Scenic Eclipse has to be personally experienced to appreciate just how ultra-luxury she is, which is why we are sending only personal invites to partners for the most sought-after invites in the sector.
“In addition to agent lunches and tours while Scenic Eclipse is in the UK, we are hosting three fam trips this year across Scenic and Emerald Cruises’ European river collection – more than ever before.
“We recognise that trade sales are a key strategic focus of the business, and agents are central to this.
“We are looking to continue the trend of strong bookings and increased brand awareness that we saw in Q1 and Q2 off the back of Scenic Eclipse featuring in ‘Cruising with Susan Calman’ on Channel 5.
“To support agents, we have a suite of training and agent webinars to equip them with the necessary tools to sell this ultra-luxury product.”
Scenic Eclipse and her sister yacht Scenic Eclipse II can accommodate 228 guests (200 in Antarctica regions) and an almost 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio and private butler service.
Agents will also be able to see the onboard helicopters and the new custom-built submersible Scenic Neptune.
Excursions are led by Scenic’s expert Discovery Team, comprising naturalists, marine biologists, and glaciologists.
Between landings, guests can top up their wildlife knowledge during enriching presentations and discussions in the impressive theatre and dedicated observation deck.
