Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours has unveiled new sailings in Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, Asia, the Arctic and Northern Europe for 2024-25.

The cruises are featured in the Scenic Eclipse 2024-25 Worldwide Discovery Voyages brochure.

The company’s two luxury discovery yachts, Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Eclipse II, offer a total of 60 departures, travelling to 355 destinations across 46 countries.

Highlights included in the new programme include the 18-day New Zealand In Depth voyage on Scenic Eclipse II (pictured) in November 2024.

The ship will explore smaller waterways and fjords, with land-based excursions exploring Maori culture. Prices start at £11,995.

Scenic Eclipse II will also offer the 17-day Japan’s Southern Islands & Cultural Heritage voyage journeys from Keelung, before hopping from island to island to reach mainland Japan, concluding in Tokyo.

Prices for the April 18, 2025, departure start at £13,945.

Scenic Eclipse is expanding its sailings to the Arctic because of growing demand for northern European itineraries.

It will offer the 11-day Magical Iceland & Norwegian Fjords voyage, from Reykjavík (Iceland), to the Arctic Circle, Faroe Islands, Lerwick in Scotland and ports in Norway.

Prices for the July 25, 2025, departure start at £9,195.

All the prices are based on a Verandah suite.
