A golden ticket to oceans of discovery

It’s often said ‘the journey is as important as the destination’.

When it comes to cruising, that’s absolutely true – it’s an opportunity to relax and indulge, to feast and expand your horizons, balanced with immersive stops in meaningful ports. 

And if you’re cruising on the ultra-luxury Scenic Eclipse Discovery Yacht, that on board experience is truly worth raising a glass to, from its spacious -suites  with butler service, to premium meals and beverages at up to 10 dining experiences and nine bars, and a crew-to-guest ratio of almost 1:1. 

There’s even a submersible^ and not one but two helicopters^ on board, should you want to take your explorations to greater heights or depths, plus a host of included Scenic Freechoice excursions

This Black Friday, on November 29, Scenic is turning black into gold, with special offers on spectacular ocean cruises, from the Indonesian Archipelago and East Coast of Australia to South Georgia, Falkland Islands and the Great White Continent of Antarctica.
