About this vessel

Scenic Eclipse I is the world's first ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht, blending the sleek lines of a private superyacht with Polar Class 6 technology built for the ends of the earth.

All 114 all-veranda suites are butler-serviced, and her near 1:1 guest-to-crew ratio keeps just 228 guests — 200 in polar regions — in uncompromising comfort. Onboard signatures include two Airbus H130 helicopters, the seven-passenger Scenic Neptune submersible, a fleet of Zodiacs, and nine dining venues. Enhanced in 2021 and 2024, she sails pole to pole with the polish of a six-star yacht.
