Scenic Eclipse II

Lumière, Elements and Koko’s: dining aboard Scenic Eclipse II

Scenic Eclipse II includes up to ten dining experiences in the fare, so her speciality restaurants are part of the voyage rather than an extra.

Lumière is the intimate one, serving refined French courses for a quiet evening of fine cuisine. Elements takes a different tack from a fixed menu: its courses change with the ingredients and culinary trends of the moment, a focused gourmet experience rather than buffet variety. For something looser, Koko’s Asian Fusion runs from sushi to street-food-inspired small plates, which makes it the place for variety when a long voyage calls for a change of flavour.

Alongside those three, casual spots serve breakfast, lunch and light meals through the day, so a speciality table never has to be the only choice for a meal.

The Observation Lounge, Theatre talks and her South American voyages

The forward-facing Observation Lounge is where to watch the passing landscapes with a drink, and the Theatre is where Scenic Eclipse II briefs guests on the ports ahead, with expert talks and evening performances included in the fare.

Up on the Sky Deck, the Sky Bar sits beside the heated Vitality Pool in the open air, with panoramic sea views to end the day. Drinks at her bars are included in the fare, apart from a few high-end spirits, French champagne and selected wines.

Away from the ship, guided Zodiac landings and kayak paddling are included in her fare, taking guests to wild shores and remote coves. On select voyages she also offers scenic flights in one of her two helicopters and dives in the custom-built Scenic Neptune Submersible, both at extra cost and the dives subject to availability.

Her voyages on sale explore South America over 12 to 21 nights. Buenos Aires is her usual home port: some voyages are round trips from there, while others run one-way between Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, or from Santiago de Chile to Buenos Aires. Whichever port she starts from and ends in, we book the international flights from Australia, the hotel either side and the transfers with the voyage as one holiday.

Her sister ships include Scenic Eclipse, and the rest of what Scenic offers sits on the line’s own page, or you can browse sailings from the luxury ocean cruise lines.

Scenic Eclipse II cabins and deck plans

Every guest aboard Scenic Eclipse II stays in a suite, so the choice is about which suite rather than whether to step up to one. All of them share the Senses Spa, whose thermal areas, infrared sauna and Salt Therapy Lounge are free to use, with treatments charged separately. Because she is all-suite, her cabins and deck plans are where the suite types and the decks they sit on are laid out side by side.
