Scenic Gem, purpose-built for the historic Seine River, and Scenic Eclipse, The World’s First Discovery Yacht™ marked a significant milestone – demonstrating Scenic’s commitment to innovation and ultra-luxury cruising on both rivers and oceans.

Scenic Gem is among the few river ships able to dock in the heart of Honfleur, which connects the Seine River with the English Channel.

The Discovery Yacht's sleek profile and unrivalled design enable it to traverse iconic oceans and rivers, setting the benchmark for ultra-luxury discovery.

“I absolutely loved our most recent milestone, when two of our custom-designed river and ocean ships came together in Honfleur for the very first time,” said Nichola Absalom, Managing Director, Sales & Marketing, UK. “It was a wonderful celebration, giving our guests the rare opportunity to step aboard and experience the unique highlights of each of these beautiful vessels. With our continued growth and investment in shipbuilding, opportunities like this will become more frequent in the future – which is exciting for us all.”
