Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours is an Australian-founded global leader in all-inclusive luxury travel, renowned for pioneering the concept of the “Discovery Yacht.” Originally established as a coach touring company, the brand has evolved into a powerhouse of experiential travel, operating both ultra-luxury river cruises (covered separately) and groundbreaking ocean expeditions. Its ocean division centres on the Scenic Eclipse fleet, which marries the opulence of a private superyacht with the capabilities of a polar-class expedition vessel.

The Scenic ocean experience is defined by its “6-star” all-inclusive philosophy, where everything from premium beverages and butler service to gratuities and shore excursions is covered. What truly sets the line apart is its focus on deeper exploration through technology: the yachts carry two Airbus H130-T2 helicopters and a custom-built submarine, Scenic Neptune, allowing guests to explore above and below the horizon in remote destinations like Antarctica and the Kimberley. On board, the atmosphere is intimate and sophisticated, with a guest-to-crew ratio approaching 1:1, ensuring intuitive and personalised service. The culinary programme is equally ambitious, offering up to 10 distinct dining experiences—ranging from French fine dining to teppanyaki—on ships carrying just 228 guests.
