The ‘Worl’d First Discovery Yacht’ – Scenic Eclipse – was officially delivered on 26 July 2019 from the Uljanik Shipyard to Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, journeying from the shipyard to Valletta, Malta for registration on 27 July.
Scenic Eclipse will make a number of short stops before arriving in Reykjavik, Iceland, where she will commence operations of her first scheduled cruise. This inaugural voyage is a 13-day discovery sailing via Greenland and Eastern Canada before arriving in Quebec on 27 August 2019.
Scenic has also released footage of the final tests and trials of its state-of-the-art Airbus H130 helicopters, one of the quietest helicopters in the skies. The video shows the helicopters landing on the deck of Scenic Eclipse and being stored in the specially designed onboard hangars.
“These final stages are significant highlights in any ship build,” said Scenic Founder and Chairman, Glen Moroney, “and particularly for a vessel of the technological sophistication of Scenic Eclipse. I’m very proud to say Eclipse has been successfully certified for passenger ship operations, has been officially registered, and we are now in the final stages of preparations for our inaugural voyage.”
