Scenic Celebrates Historic Meeting of Scenic Eclipse & Scenic Gem in Honfleur
Pressemitteilung
On 19 September, in the picturesque harbour of Honfleur, two of Scenic’s custom-designed river and yacht cruising ships met for the first time. 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 redefining 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. While Scenic Eclipse with its state-of-the-art technology, is as equally equipped for polar exploration as it is to the coastlines of Europe and the Mediterranean. The Discovery Yacht’s sleek profile and unrivalled design enable it to traverse iconic oceans and rivers, setting the benchmark for luxury discovery.
This meeting in Honfleur reflected Scenic’s philosophy: to put guests at the heart of enriching all-inclusive journeys, elevating their experience to the Nth Degree. To mark the occasion, Scenic Gem Captain Ludovic Libs and Scenic Eclipse Captain Radomir Novosel came together for a ceremonial presentation.
Inspired by the occasion, Scenic Eclipse Pastry Chef Jed Samson, Executive Chef Viktor Malek, and the culinary team unveiled an elaborate cake masterpiece. The creation showcased Honfleur’s picturesque harbour, complete with delicately crafted edible Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Gem ships. Guests on board were also invited to visit each of the ships for a view into the unique opportunities to sail on these vessels. Scenic Eclipse guests also gained insights from a Scenic Gem special guest, guide Ben Baillie, who shared the rich history of the region.
Dominika Lange, General Manager Sales & Marketing EMEA, emphasized the significance of this milestone: “The meeting of Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Gem in Honfleur exemplifies Scenic’s commitment to innovation and excellence across both rivers and oceans. It reflects our ongoing dedication to delivering luxury, all-inclusive experiences that place our guests at the centre of every journey.”
The 2026 & 2027 Europe River Cruising & Scenic Eclipse Worldwide Discovery collections are available now. For further information, visit scenic.eu or see your local travel advisor to request a brochure.
