The world’s first discovery yacht, Scenic Eclipse, gives travelers the opportunity to explore ports often not found on typical sailings in style.

The Taste of the Caribbean cruise debuts this October and takes travelers to some of their favorite, perhaps unknown, Caribbean destinations — all with a focus on the region’s best food. Stops include Long Island, Great Inagua Island, Half Moon Caye and Guanaja Island in Honduras. The cruise departs from Nassau and disembarks in Miami.

In addition to the culinary delights, guests enjoy destinations with superb birdwatching, stunning coral reefs, sublime beaches and unprecedented snorkeling spots.

The Colombia & Panama itinerary also debuts in October. After departing Miami, the ship makes a stop in Key West before heading on to Belize City, Roatan Island, Costa Rica and Colombia. Activities include visits to Mayan ruins, snorkeling, beach relaxation, sloth and jaguar sanctuary visits and cultural explorations. The cruise disembarks in Cartagena.

Scenic Eclipse makes its inaugural sailing Aug. 15, when it spends six weeks sailing the East Coast. The ship boasts the highest passenger ship ice class rating, 114 all-verandah suites, 10 dining options, a huge spa, a fitness center, separate yoga and Pilates studios, guest helicopters, a guest submarine, a 240-seat theater, plunge pools and butler service.
