Auckland recently welcomed the Scenic Eclipse II, an ultra-luxury discovery yacht designed to redefine expedition cruising. The visit provided an opportunity for Cath McLeod, Director of Wanderlust Travel Experts, along with travel experts Rachael Albert and Shar Jones of Bucket List Travel, to explore this exceptional vessel while it was docked in Auckland harbour.

From the moment they stepped aboard, the attention to detail and elegance of the Scenic Eclipse II were evident. Accommodating just 228 guests, the yacht offers an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. The ship’s accommodation options range from the spacious Deluxe Veranda Suites, perfect for relaxing while enjoying ocean views, to the Panorama and Spa Suites, which elevate comfort with additional living spaces and luxurious spa amenities.

For those seeking the pinnacle of indulgence, the Owner’s Penthouse Suites are truly spectacular. These expansive suites include a private terrace, a spacious living area, and exclusive services like private dining and a dedicated butler. Each suite onboard Scenic Eclipse II is designed with a contemporary aesthetic, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, private verandas or terraces, and a host of premium amenities to ensure unparalleled comfort.

Dining onboard the Scenic Eclipse II is an experience, with 10 unique culinary options ranging from French fine dining to Asian fusion and casual international cuisine. The ship also boasts the Senses Spa, a wellness haven offering treatments, saunas, and steam rooms, ensuring relaxation at every turn.

What sets Scenic Eclipse II apart is its focus on discovery. Equipped with two helicopters and a custom-built submarine, guests can explore above and below the water in a way that no other ship offers. For relaxation between adventures, the yacht features a luxurious pool area and multiple lounges with stunning ocean views.
