Scenic Eclipse Itineraries

Scenic eclipse review, review of scenic eclipse.

The 2019-built Scenic Eclipse cruise ship is a top-luxury boat with max passenger capacity 228 (plus 192 staff-crew) that looks more like a tycoon-owned superyacht than a passenger vessel. Its design features an ice-strengthened hull, top-deck helipad (with two on-deck stored helicopters / in hangars), 12x Zodiacs (high-speed, large-capacity RIBs / rigid inflatable boats), 1x mini-sub (7-person submarine), 1x ROV (camera-equipped Remotely Operated Vehicle). The aft-located Marina Platform is used for launching water sports equipment (aqua quad-bikes, seakayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling and scuba diving activities).

The vessel (IMO number 9797371) is currently Bahamas- flagged (MMSI 311000995) and registered in Nassau .

With the yacht Scenic Eclipse, the river cruisetour company Scenic Tours (travel brand) entered the ocean cruising market. The ship was initially scheduled for delivery in August 2018, but due to construction issues was first rescheduled for January, then for April 2019. In February 2018, the shipowner Scenic Group (aka Scenic Tours Australia) signed a shipbuilding contract for the second (same-design) vessel - Scenic Eclipse II . The sistership was scheduled for delivery in 2020 but was eventually postponed to 2023 April.

Scenic's new market strategy followed the moves of Viking River Cruises (entering the ocean cruising market in 2015 with Viking Star ) and Crystal Cruises (entering the mega-yachting market in 2015 with Crystal Esprit/now Nat Geo Islander 2 ). Besides Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours, the shipowner Scenic Group also owns the subsidiary and travel brand Emerald Cruises .

Scenic's new ships are advertised as "discovery yachts". The hull has the highest passenger ship ice-class (1A-Super) allowing the vessel to operate on polar cruises (Arctic and Antarctica itineraries) for 3 months a year. On polar voyages, the ship's passenger capacity is limited to 200 in order to allow several Zodiac landings per day.

The ship's two helicopters Airbus H130 (single-engine aircraft, each with capacity 7 passengers) can be booked/hired at extra charge. Helicopter tours allow passengers to get closer to the wildlife in comparison to the Zodiac landings. Also at an additional charge can be booked the ship's onboard submarine. The 7-person submarine (1 pilot plus 6 guests) is named "Scenic Neptune" and is capable to submerge up to 1000 ft (305 m).

The ship has "zero speed stabilizer fins" (50% larger than the standard on similar-sized vessels) allowing it to navigate in rough seas with just little movement. Voyages to Antarctica include passing Drake Passage - a notoriously rough waterway between South America and Antarctica.

Decks and Cabins

Scenic Eclipse staterooms (114 total) are all double-occupancy Suites in total 14 categories. Cabin sizes range between 345 ft2 / 32 m2 (Veranda Suite) to 2745 ft2 / 255 m2 (2-Bedroom Penthouse Suite, with included 645 ft2 / 60 m2 wraparound terrace). Owners Penthouse Suites are sized 1990 ft2 / 185 m2 (balcony included). Each cabin has a private step-out balcony. The vessel has an almost 1:1 passenger-to-crew ratio and each stateroom are served by a dedicated butler.

The boat has 10 decks , of which 8 are passenger-accessible and 5 with cabins.

Four Lifts (midship-located Elevators) interconnect all cabin decks.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

Scenic Eclipse cruise ship offers all 9 dining venues plus 24-hour room service. The ship also has an impressive number of bars and lounges - 8, which is an extraordinary variety considering the yacht's size. All these options are complimentary (cruise price inclusive).

Specialty dining venues highlight regional cuisine, intimate deck location and dinner privacy at no additional cost. These venues range from the open-kitchen Teppanyaki grill dining (capacity 10 people), Azure Bar & Grill, and Lumiere (French Fine Dining Restaurant) to the Chef's Table (private VIP dining for 8 people). Professional cookery demonstrations are offered at the dedicated Epicure (cooking emporium).

The main dining room restaurant "Elements" offers Italian fare, seafood, and steaks. The other restaurants are named Koko's (Asian, with sake bar), Sushi at Koko's (authentic Japanese), Lumiere (French, with Champagne Bar). The Yacht Club has its own a Bar (beverages), buffet and poolside Grill. Azure Bar & Cafe offers all-day relaxed grazing.

• During refurbishment 2021, the Yacht Club was redesigned and reimagined as a casual dining venue. The area was extended to include a multi-purpose "food island". House-made gelato (premium ice cream) is offered from a new gelato cooler. Large sofas replaced the old tables and armchairs and new wicker swinging egg chairs were added.
• Night Market At Koko's offers street food and traditional Asian dishes (Middle East, India, Southeast Asia).
• Sushi At Koko's offers authentic Japanese cuisine and was expanded to include window seating.

Bars and lounges include Lobby Lounge, Champagne Bar, Whisky Bar, Azure Bar & Cafe. Fine wine, top-shelf beverages, cocktails, specialty teas and coffees are all included in Scenic Cruises' ticket prices.

Fun fact is that the ship has a selection of 110 whisky brands available for ordering at the Whisky Bar. The themed venue is complimentary and part of the main lounge. All the 110 whisky bottles are stored in a floor-ceiling display cabinet with a crystal wall. The selection includes premium single malts (30-yo Isle of Jura The Loch, 25-yo Glendullan, 16-yo Lagavulin), special reserve blends (Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Jameson Black Barrel, Crown Royal Deluxe), various brands from Australia, Asia (Japan, Taiwan, India), South Africa, USA, Europe (UK, France, Sweden). To repeat again - all these top-shelf whiskies are complimentary (cruise ticket price-inclusive).

Scenic Eclipse Wiki

The Malta- flagged luxury superyacht Scenic Eclipse (IMO number 9797371, MMSI 248526000) was built with the latest technological advancements in order to ensure the highest safety standards. It has custom-built stabilizers (50% bigger than other vessels) and an ice-strengthened hull. The vessel's state-of-the-art fins (propulsion units) are able to adjust themselves, enabling the ship to handle the strongest water currents and to remain stable.

Unlike other ships that use traditional anchors, the cruise ship is fitted with a dynamic positioning system. It uses GPS data to accurately maintain its position, which is an eco-friendly way to control the vessel. Other environmentally sustainable systems are advanced / more efficient marine engines and water treatment system.

On November 22, 2016, started vessel's construction with the steel-cutting ceremony held at Uljanik Shipyard JSC ( Pula Croatia ), Ship's integrated navigation and automation system was provided by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Maritime. This modern technology combines the following systems - Navigation, Dynamic Positioning, Automation, Emergency Shutdown, Power Management, Safety Management, and Control. The system is integrated with online diagnostics and remote service facilities.

On April 28, 2017, at Uljanik Shipyard was held vessel's keel-laying / coin ceremony. The special event was attended by Glen Moroney (Scenic Tours' founder and chairman). He placed an Australian coin beneath the ship's keel - a right of passage for every newbuild , to bring good fortune to its passengers and crew.

On January 31, 2018, was the ship's launch (float-out ceremony) at Uljanik Shipyard. The delivery was scheduled for August 31, 2018, but due to the shipyard's financial issues was rescheduled for April 13, 2019. Sea trials were successfully completed on June 13, 2019.

Both Scenic Cruises yachts are built in Croatia - Eclipse 1 in Pula (Uljanik shipyard), Eclipse 2 in Rijeka (3 Maj Shipyard), The following YouTube video is a timelapse of the Scenic yachts construction process.

The ship's Captain is James Griffiths - British, former Captain of the superyacht Wind Star ( Windstar ) and National Geographic Explorer ( NatGeo-Lindblad Expeditions ). He has also served on 10 other ships (as Captain on 4 of them) and also worked for Cunard Line for 11 years - as Chief Officer of RMS Queen Mary 2 .

In late-July 2019 was announced that the ship's godmother will be Helen Mirren (Dame Helen Lydia Mirren) - 1945-born English actress who won British Academy Film Award for Best Actress (1984, 1985, 2006, 2012), British Academy TV Award for Best Actress (1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 2003), Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress (1983, 2001, 2004, 2013) and Tony Award for Best Actress (1995, 2002, 2005), among others.

Vessel's official christening ceremony was held on September 10, 2019, in Port NYC (New York USA) .

Since August 19, 2020, the vessel's crew managing company is Viking Crew (part of the Dover UK -based Viking Maritime Group Ltd). Viking Crew is responsible for the Scenic Eclipse 1 yacht's crew recruitment, management, deployment and placement, including the officers and staff-crew from the onboard Engine, Hotel and Deck departments. Viking Crew was also contracted for the crew management of the superyachts Scenic Eclipse 2 (2022) and Emerald Azzurra (2021).

When to see a ‘great un-american eclipse’ — from spain to australia.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Spectators line the beach to view the total solar eclipse on November 14, 2012 in Palm Cove, ... [+] Australia. Thousands of eclipse-watchers have gathered in part of North Queensland to enjoy the solar eclipse, the first in Australia in a decade. (Photo by Ian Hitchcock/Getty Images)

Monday, April 8’s total solar eclipse in North America will be a landmark moment for the celestial event on planet Earth. About 12 million Americans experienced totality on August 21, 2017—and on April 8, 2024 another 31 million will do so.

The next total solar eclipse on U.S. soil is in 2033 in Alaska. After that, it’s 2044 in Montana and the Dakotas before a coast-to-coast whopper in 2045.

You don’t have to wait that long—if you’re prepared to travel long-haul.

During a rare total solar eclipse, only a small portion of Earth’s surface is covered by the moon's shadow. Only within that path you can you experience totality—sudden darkness during the day, rapid cooling, eerie light, strange animal behavior, and a chance to see the sun's corona.

To get that experience you need to be at the right place at the right time—and that typically means traveling to random places in the world. Here’s when and where to go to experience another total solar eclipse after April 8:

All total solar eclipses until 2030.

Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024

Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024, 1. greenland, iceland and northern spain eclipse: august 12, 2026.

This eclipse will offer a two-minute totality, and Iceland will be a popular place to observe it. The western tip of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and Reykjavik, the capital city, are two great places to witness the event. Northern Spain will also be a popular option, although the eclipse will happen dangerously close to sunset, so be very low in the sky.

2. North African Eclipse: August 2, 2027

This eclipse will offer a massive six minutes+ totality, the longest one left this century. The path of totality crosses southern Spain and much of North Africa, but Luxor in Egypt, home to the Valley of the Kings and Karnak, will be the place to go. A massive six minutes and 20 seconds of totality will be experienced there.

3. Australia and New Zealand Eclipse: July 22, 2028

Sydney Harbour in Australia will be the place to be for this eclipse, with three minutes and 44 seconds of totality on offer, though if you want to guarantee a clear sky the Australian Outback is yours to explore. Queenstown in New Zealand will also see totality close to sunset.

4. Southern Africa and South Australia Eclipse: November 25, 2030

Southern Africa will make a great destination to experience a two-minute totality before a game drive in Namibia and Botswana. South Australia will see it an hour or so before sunset. Which continent do you fancy?

5. Pacific Ocean Eclipse: November 14, 2031

A long and lonely cruise from Hawaii will be how to see this hybrid solar eclipse. The spectacle will transit from a “ring fire” annular solar eclipse to a total solar eclipse southeast of Hawaii, then back again.

6. Alaska And Siberia Eclipse: March 30, 2033

This eclipse will offer a two-minute totality from Alaska and an opportunity to see the Northern Lights. Seeing the Great Bering Strait eclipse in clear skies is probably unlikely, but it will also offer the chance to explore remote Alaskan towns like Barrow/Utqiagvik, Prudhoe Bay/Sagavanirktok, and Kotzebue. If it is clear, the northern lights could just make an appearance during totality.

7. Central Africa And Asia Eclipse: March 20, 2034

This will be the first “equinox eclipse” since 2015, and a path of totality brings four minutes and nine seconds of totality to Central Africa and South Asia. Southeastern Egypt is probably the place to go, and eclipse chasers will be there in droves for this long eclipse. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Persopolis in Iran is another option. The path of totality will pass through Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Sudan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nepal.

8. China, North Korea And Japan Eclipse: September 2, 2035

Beijing, China, or Tokyo, Japan, will be the places to go for this East Asian eclipse. Just north of Beijing will see almost two minutes of totality, similar to Pyongyang in North Korea, though a trip just north of Tokyo will get you an extra 30 seconds.

9. Australia and New Zealand Eclipse: July 13, 2037

A mid-winter eclipse Down Under will see places such as Geraldton, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Byron Bay, the Gold Coast, and the remote Lord Howe Island thrown under the moon’s shadow for as long as three minutes and 58 seconds. The North Island of New Zealand will also get a look-in, including the Ngauruhoe volcano (Mount Doom in The Lord of the Rings films) in Tongariro National Park, and coastal Napier in Hawke’s Bay.

10. Australia and New Zealand Eclipse: December 26, 2038

If eclipse chasers have any air miles left from events 18 months previously, this mid-summer eclipse will occur largely over the remote Australian Outback, though the path of totality passes just north of both Adelaide and Melbourne. The two-minute totality will also be seen over the northern and southern tips, respectively, of New Zealand's North and South Islands.

Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.
