SCENIC’S Eclipse II’s official keel-laying ceremony took place at the Maj 3 shipyard in Rijeka, Croatia last week.
The occasion marked the build of the first of five custom-built vessels to be delivered over the next six years in Croatia.
The second Discovery Yacht from Scenic’s ocean fleet, Eclipse II is a sister to Scenic Eclipse which was launched in 2018, and aims to “raise the benchmark within the ultra-luxury expedition cruising market”.
With its ability to navigate both polar and tropical regions, Eclipse II will accommodate 228 guests, and will have an on-board staff-to-passenger ratio of almost 1:1.
The ship is due to launch in the Mediterranean in the Q1 2023, with Scenic founder Glenn Moroney saying the cruise line was proud to continue to invest in new ventures, demonstrating its “unwavering belief in the future of the industry”.
