The much-anticipated Scenic Eclipse II has arrived in Sydney for its first exploration of Australian waters before departing on a two-year luxurious voyage in the Oceania region.
“Scenic Eclipse II’s arrival into Sydney Harbour this morning was a landmark moment,” says Scenic Group’s General Manager, Sales and Marketing APAC, Anthony Laver.
“It is a game-changer for the local cruising industry with its unrivalled ultra-luxury spaces, new culinary experiences, two helicopters and next-generation submersible.
“The arrival of Scenic Eclipse II in Australian waters represents a new era in ocean cruising for this region, where ultra-luxury meets discovery,” he says.
An Australian exploration
Scenic Eclipse II will explore Australia in a series of discovery voyages from 2024 to early 2026.
Its first stop will be the port of Newcastle on 22 April. The ship will then travel the coastline of Queensland, the Northern Territory and Kimberley region, and then onto the coast of Western Australia in 2025.
A six-star, ultra-luxury experience, there are just 114 luxurious suites, 10 unique, all-inclusive dining experiences, and a one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio.
Guests can also enjoy unrivalled exploration with two on-board helicopters, and the next-generation electric submersible, Scenic Neptune II – which can transport up to eight guests and dives up to 200 metres below the surface, providing 270-degree panoramic views.
Scenic Group Chairman and Founder, Glen Moroney says, “As an Australian-founded company, we are proud to set the global benchmark for ultra-luxury yacht cruising.
“Scenic Eclipse II represents our commitment to continuous innovation and creating exceptional life-changing experiences.”
Those keen to explore further afield can enjoy the wonders of the South Pacific, South East Asia, Japan and Korea, New Zealand, remote East Antarctica and the Ross Sea region.
