The range of itinerary offerings on luxury yacht Scenic Eclipse has expanded with the release of its 2023-2024 Caribbean Collection. And while the Caribbean is one of the world’s most visited cruise destinations, the smaller size of Eclipse will enable it to stop in less-travelled ports.

These include Darby Island, Egg Island and Long Island in The Bahamas, Puerto Rico’s Isla de Culebra, Grenadine’s Mayreau, and Isla de Providencia in Colombia, among others.

As part of Scenic’s new Wave season campaign, ‘Discover the Wonder Beyond,’ travellers booking early and paying in full at the time of booking or no later than 12 months before departure, will enjoy savings of 25% off the cruise fare for most cabin categories (fares listed below reflect the savings).

What sets Scenic Eclipse itineraries apart from other brands is the ability of the yacht to go just about anywhere. Guests have easy access to land via a fleet of zodiacs, can explore the coast on paddleboards and kayaks, venture under the surf for up close views of marine life in the yacht’s six-guest submarine Scenic Neptune, or soar over jungles and turquoise waters in one of two six-guest helicopters.

Highlights of the Scenic Eclipse Caribbean Collection include:

Caribbean Sunsets: Turks & Caicos Islands to Jamaica: a nine-day sailing departing Nassau on Oct 23, 2023. Combining ports of call in The Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, and Jamaica, this itinerary enables guests to enjoy glass-bottom kayaks in the mangroves and small caves of Providenciales, behold the site of 80,000 West Indian flamingos take flight on Little Inagua Island, and amble down Port Antonio’s Great River on a bamboo raft. Fares start at CAD $9,504 per person, double.

Iconic Panama Canal: this 11-day voyage takes guests from Montego Bay to Panama City via a full transit of the Panama Canal with calls at Isla de Providencia, Colombia, where evenings are spent at a reggae bar, baseball game, or a restaurant; the multi-cultural Bocas del Toro, Panama; San Blas Islands, still governed by the Guna indigenous group; and Isla San José, named for the abundance of pearls found off its shores. Prices start from CAD $10,009 for the October 31, 2023 departure.

Bermuda & The Bahamas: an 11-day journey departing Boston and ending in Nassau, this trip departs October 13, 2023, and stops in Hamilton, St. George’s, Darby Island, and Egg Island. It is priced from CAD $10,390.

With just 228 guests, an almost 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio, private butler service, and 10 dining options, Scenic Eclipse promises personalized service for each guest. Fares include transfers, fine dining experiences, premium branded beverages, gratuities and immersive excursions.
