✨ Scenic Update — Ultra‑Luxury on the Horizon ✨
We recently caught up with Julie from Scenic, and there’s a lot to be excited about 🚢✨ — especially if you love small‑ship luxury and expedition cruising.
Scenic is proudly Australian‑founded, known for world‑class river cruising and all‑inclusive experiences. But the biggest buzz right now is around their Ultra‑Luxury Discovery Yachts.
🚢 Introducing Scenic Ikon
The next evolution of Scenic’s yacht fleet is on the way — Scenic Ikon, a brand‑new ultra‑luxury discovery yacht. She’ll take the Scenic experience even further with cutting‑edge design, expanded exploration capabilities, and that signature Scenic attention to detail 🌏✨.
And yes… Scenic has hinted that their discovery yachts will be coming to Australia in 2028 — huge news for travellers wanting world‑class expedition cruising close to home 🛳️.
When Scenic Eclipse 2 visited Sydney a few years ago, Kat and Ellen were lucky enough to step onboard for a ship inspection — and it was every bit as impressive as you’d imagine ✨.
🛳️ Emerald Luxury Yachts
For travellers who prefer a more intimate yacht experience, Scenic’s sister brand Emerald Cruises offers luxury yachts carrying just 110 guests. Ellen sailed from Rome to Valencia a few years ago and still talks about how special it felt — boutique yacht style, hidden harbours, and that relaxed Mediterranean rhythm 🌏✨.
If you’re dreaming of ultra‑luxury expedition cruising — Antarctica, the Arctic, the Kimberley, or the Mediterranean — ask us about Scenic and Emerald.
