Scenic Cruises has unveiled a new timelapse video chronicling the build of its newest Discovery Yacht, Scenic Eclipse II.
Showcasing the progress to date, the new video highlights the innovation and technology involved in building the yacht.
The vessel – a near-identical sister ship to sister yacht Scenic Eclipse – is due to float out at its shipyard in Rijeka, Croatia later this month. It is on course to enter service in April 2023.
The vessel is being built by MKM Yachts, a global leader in luxury shipbuilding owned by parent company Scenic Group.
The new Discovery Yacht is scheduled to make its inaugural sailing from Lisbon, Portugal in April 2023.
It will then make the most of its innovative hull design and on-board technology to explore both polar and warm weather destinations.
The inaugural season of sailings will include itineraries taking in the Mediterranean, Scotland, the Americas, the Caribbean and both Polar regions.
In 2024 the ship will also visit Australia, Polynesia and Indonesia.
One of the benefits of building Scenic Eclipse II at Scenic Group’s ‘in-house’ shipyard is complete control over the design, build, and operation coupled with the swift translation of ideas to reality.
Tweaks have been made on the original Scenic Eclipse design based on feedback from guests and crew working aboard.
Guests can expect to see enhancements to the Senses Spa and a larger pool and outdoor area on Deck 10 among the changes.
Andrea Stafford, Director of Trade Sales UK for the Scenic Group, said: “The addition of Scenic Eclipse II to the fleet continues our mission to bring once-in-a-lifetime exploration to guests.
“Our Discovery Yachts are unique in that they can handle extreme and diverse conditions, meaning they can go from the icy waters of the Arctic and Antarctic to the warmth of the Caribbean, and explore ports and coves that larger vessels just cannot access.
“We are intent on innovating and raising the game in the ultra-luxury cruise sector and are doing this by refining the on-board experience and delivering exciting new destinations.
There is no limit to our ambition, which is what our discerning guests expect.”
