Scenic Eclipse II Arrives in Australia Ahead of Inaugural Season

Scenic Eclipse II has officially arrived in Australia, making an entrance into Sydney Harbour before embarking on its first-ever exploration of Australian waters, a two-year series of voyages in the Oceania region.

The Sydney Harbour debut of Scenic Eclipse II was a special moment for the Australian-founded Scenic Group, and the Scenic Eclipse executive team was there to celebrate the occasion. The newest addition to the company’s luxury Discovery Yacht fleet made its first stop in the port of Newcastle on 22APR, the city where Scenic was founded 38 years ago.

Scenic Group chairman and founder Glen Moroney said, “As an Australian-founded company, we are proud to set the global benchmark for ultra-luxury yacht cruising. Scenic Eclipse II represents our commitment to continuous innovation and creating exceptional life-changing experiences. The Scenic Group team greatly appreciates the support of our travel partners and our valued guests from around the world. We look forward to welcoming Scenic Eclipse II in Newcastle, many ports along the East Coast and Top End of Australia, then continuing our journey across the Oceania region for this two-year season.”

Scenic Eclipse II's Oceania voyages are scheduled from 2024 to early 2026.

The Discovery Yacht includes two onboard helicopters and the next-generation electric submersible Scenic Neptune II. This submersible can transport up to eight guests and dives up to 200 metres below the surface, providing 270-degree panoramic views.
