All-Inclusive Luxury with a Focus on Exploration
Scenic Cruises has built a reputation on redefining river cruising and small-ship ocean travel by pairing refined comfort with immersive destination experiences. With a fleet of elegant river ships and boutique Discovery Yachts, Scenic makes every journey effortless and enriching, offering exceptionally high levels of service, culinary excellence, and thoughtfully curated excursions.
On Europe’s great rivers — including the Danube, Rhine, Rhône, and Douro — Scenic’s all-inclusive model covers a seamless travel experience: spacious suites, fine dining, premium beverages, gratuities, and attentive service as standard. Guided shore excursions bring destinations to life with local experts, making history, culture, and landscapes accessible and engaging.
Scenic’s Discovery Yachts extend this philosophy to luxury expedition cruises, exploring less-traveled regions in an intimate, relaxed style. These small ships access ports larger vessels can’t reach, offering guests closer connections with places like the Norwegian fjords, the Caribbean, and select oceanic archipelagos.
Whether navigating Europe’s waterways or discovering hidden coastal gems, Scenic Cruises is designed for travelers who want deep, comfortable, and culturally rich experiences — with every detail handled.

Ship
Scenic Eclipse I
Scenic Eclipse I is the ship that invented a category. Launched in 2019 as the World's First Discovery Yacht, she carries just 228 guests (200 in Antarctica) across all seven continents with two onboard helicopters, a personal submarine, and the kind of refined, battle-tested luxury that only comes from five-plus years of polar and open-ocean operations.

Ship
Scenic Eclipse II
Scenic Eclipse II is what happens when you take the blueprint of the world's first Discovery Yacht and hand it to a team that's already spent four years learning what works. Launched in April 2023 as the sister ship to Eclipse I, she carries the same core DNA—228 guests, two helicopters, a submarine, Polar Class 6—but layers on meaningful next-gen upgrades including an expanded wellness suite, a dedicated Sky Bar, a larger Triton submarine, and included SEABOBs.
