A welcome fit for discovery

Don’s expedition began in the pastel city of Hamilton, Bermuda, where the Scenic Eclipse awaited. This sleek, modern yacht—with its sophisticated design and cutting-edge features—stood out against the historic charm of Bermuda’s architecture and pink sand beaches. 

As Don stepped aboard, he was greeted with a glass of champagne, a warm welcome from the crew, and the breathtaking views from the Sky Deck.

With only 228 guests on board, the Scenic Eclipse ensures an intimate, personalized experience. Designed to navigate remote locations while providing the highest level of comfort, this yacht redefines what it means to cruise in style. 

From the pristine shores of Bermuda to the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean, every detail on this journey has been carefully curated for travelers who seek the best of both worlds: luxury and adventure.

Culinary excellence at sea

One of the highlights of Don’s trip will be the extraordinary culinary experiences on board, thanks to celebrity chef Tom Götter. As part of Scenic’s Taste of Discovery, Chef Tom will be responsible for all the high-end cuisine offered throughout the cruise, setting the stage for an unforgettable culinary journey.

During an exclusive cooking demonstration, Don will have the chance to witness Chef Tom in action. From the precision of his technique to the passion in his presentation, each meal aboard the Scenic Eclipse will be crafted to be as memorable as the journey itself. 

Discovering hidden gems in the Bahamas

Beyond the luxury of the yacht, Don will take time to explore some of the Caribbean’s hidden treasures. One of the most magical moments of his journey will be a private beach landing on San Salvador Island in the Bahamas. 

Known for its untouched beauty and historical significance, San Salvador will offer Don a chance to connect with nature in a way few travelers ever experience.

From kayaking along the island’s sparkling coastline to snorkeling in its crystal-clear waters, Don will embrace the natural beauty that surrounds him. The Scenic Eclipse will not only bring him to these hidden gems but also provide the adventure tools to explore them fully — whether by Zodiac, kayak, or even Scenic’s own submarine.

Uncovering the wonders of the Exumas

Another unforgettable stop on Don’s journey will be the Exuma Islands, famous for their sapphire-blue waters and stunning cays. The Exumas, a favorite among celebrities, is an untouched paradise that offers unique wildlife encounters. 

One of Don’s most delightful experiences will be swimming with the famous pigs of Exuma—an iconic experience that perfectly captures the whimsy and wonder of this part of the Bahamas.

For those seeking even more adventure, the Scenic Eclipse will offer exclusive helicopter tours and submarine excursions. These features, combined with the yacht’s cutting-edge expedition technology, will allow guests to witness the beauty of the Caribbean from both above and below the surface. 

A journey like no other

What makes the Scenic Eclipse such a remarkable vessel is its ability to blend luxury with discovery. Guests can unwind in the spa, enjoy a cocktail at the Sky Deck, or take in the panoramic views from the Observation Lounge. At the same time, they’ll have access to thrilling adventures like snorkeling, kayaking, and private beach landings. 

For Don, this balance between comfort and excitement will make his time aboard the Scenic Eclipse truly extraordinary.

As Don embarks on this adventure, he’s already planning his return to the Scenic Eclipse for its Antarctic expedition in 2026. His upcoming time on board will demonstrate that exploration doesn’t have to come at the cost of comfort—on the Scenic Eclipse, the two go hand-in-hand.
