VANCOUVER — The brand new series of Scenic Eclipse Ultimate Voyages includes guaranteed early bird savings plus a free helicopter or submarine excursion.

The shortest itinerary is more than two weeks – it’s the 17-day Ultimate Mediterranean Discovery, that puts the history and cultures of the Portuguese, Moors, Spaniards, French, Romans and Greeks on display.

The longest cruise in the new series, the 30-day Ultimate Chilean Fjords & Antarctica, uses Lima and Buenos Aires as bookends to a journey through the Patagonian Fjords and the Antarctica Peninsula.

Scenic says it wants to make booking these Ultimate Voyages “even more enticing” by adding extra perks: guaranteed Early-Bird Savings and a choice of a helicopter or submarine exploration excursion, plus guests can take advantage of any current promotion. Special flight offers are also available for bookings made by Oct. 31.

All in all there are 12 new Ultimate Voyages available on Scenic Eclipse, including the 24-day Ultimate Baltics & Arctic Circle combining Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Denmark, Germany and Norway with off-the-beaten-track Spitsbergen.

“Guests on these incredible sailings will see and do more on these two- to four-week sailings than most people do in years of travel,” says Scenic’s VP of Sales & Marketing Canada, Lisa McCaskill. “The Scenic Eclipse is as luxurious as they come but what really puts it over the top of five stars are the efforts of the onboard Discovery team, who pass on their knowledge of and passion for these amazing places.”

The 228-passenger Scenic Eclipse has 114 all-verandah suites, ranging in size from 345 square feet to 2,659 square feet, as well as 10 dining options

Scenic’s 2019/2020 season introduces several new itineraries across Scenic’s fleet of Discovery Yachts, she adds. New Arctic destinations join the Med, South American and European itinerary lineup, including the Russian and Canadian Arctic, and an expansion of Scenic’s European Arctic itineraries, as well as new cruises along North America’s East Coast.

Scenic has also introduced new departures of its Antarctica in Depth cruise and Antarctica, South Georgia & Falkland Islands itinerary.
