The world’s first discovery yacht, Scenic Eclipse by Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, approaches its August debut, following extensive sea trials.
“It was a real pleasure to take Scenic Eclipse out to sea for the first time,” stated Captain James Griffiths, Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours. “Sea trials are a critical milestone in the construction process as it is the first time all the ship systems are operated together and is a key opportunity to confirm the theoretical information from the tank tests and computer modeling. The results from these trials surpassed every expectation … I was also delighted with how quiet the ship is. She was vibration free and virtually silent during all our trials, exceeding our expectations in terms of stability, maneuverability and performance. Scenic Eclipse really does manage to combine small ship maneuverability with big ship levels of comfort and quietness; it’s quite remarkable to experience it.”
Now, Scenic Eclipse undergoes its final interior and exterior touches.
Discovery yacht guests will find more than 100 all-verandah suites, 10 dining options, a huge spa and fitness center, two helicopters, one submarine, indoor and outdoor plunge pools, butler service and a 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio.
