Why we love Scenic Eclipse

At a glance

Scenic's Discovery Yachts combine the comfort of a six-star yacht with real exploration. Each carries just 228 guests, with spacious all-verandah suites, butler service and a crew almost one-to-one with guests.

Two onboard helicopters and a submersible take discovery further, while Zodiacs, kayaks and e-bikes are all included. It's a favourite for Antarctica and for Australia's Kimberley coast.
