Scenic has arguably one of the best expedition ships on the market with the Scenic Eclipse. No other ship currently sailing offers guests access to amenities like helicopters and submarines aboard the world’s first, 6-star luxury, discovery mega-yacht. Readers may remember that we wrote a blog about this excellent vessel recently. Join us again as we board the Scenic Eclipse to walk you through the most luxurious accommodation onboard, the massive Owner’s Penthouse.
Design
Scenic set out to create a statement piece as its premier accommodation on the Eclipse. The designers were tasked with providing guests with the ultimate refuge at sea. Outward views and large seating areas in which to enjoy them were central to the success of their mission. The results of this task speak for themselves.
The Owner’s Penthouse is one square foot shy of 2,100 square feet but can be combined with a Spa Suite to Create a 2637 square foot 2 Bedroom Owner’s Penthouse. The accommodation features an expansive terrace with a private spa pool and lounging areas.
This onboard home away from home is located in the forward area of deck nine, guaranteeing occupants the best views onboard the ship. Guests will enjoy seating for 8 in the dining room and a massive master bathroom featuring a spa tub and a dual vitality color light therapy shower.
The living room has ample seating and is partially encircled by floor-to-ceiling panoramic views. The art and decor of the room are all hand-selected, as well as little touches like a personal library and minibar, can be found throughout the space.

Expedition Cruising is the highest tier product in the cruise industry and Scenic is extremely high on that totem pole. The destinations that these vessels visit are so remote, so unspoiled, and seem so far out of the reach of the average tourist that simply going for some is an accomplishment.
Scenic has gone the opposite direction and created a once-in-a-lifetime accommodation to complement a once-in-a-lifetime visit to Antarctica. For a few privileged travelers, Scenic offers the best accommodation on the most feature-packed ship, to the most sought-after locations on Earth.
Planning a once-in-a-lifetime experience like an expedition aboard the Scenic Eclipse can be daunting. After all, an experience such as this comes with a large investment of time and resources. Protect that investment by letting the experienced Travel Advisors and Concierge teams at Luxury Cruise Connections guide you every step of the way.
