Scenic

Scenic, one of Europe's leading river cruise lines, launched its first ocean and expedition ship, Scenic Eclipse, back in 2018; meanwhile, its sister yacht, Scenic Eclipse II — which is nearly identical — debuted in April 2023. Featuring two helicopters, a submarine, several gourmet restaurants, a movie theater, and a sprawling spa, these one-of-a-kind ships sail to bucket-list-worthy destinations like Alaska, Japan, and Antarctica.
