Lisa Bolton, Scenic general manager of product said: “The world-class design of Scenic Eclipse allows us to explore further and provide our guests with highly personalized experiences. Our new program sets the benchmark again, with voyages taking guests beyond the Antarctic Circle and to Japan, the Russian Arctic, Northeast Passage and the Sea of Cortez.”

Bolton continued: “We’ve expanded our discovery program with a range of new helicopter excursions and curated a Discovery Team who are leaders in their field to guide our guests. Scenic Neptune will also dive in the waters of South Georgia – the first ultra-luxury cruise submarine to be able to operate in this extraordinary destination.”
