Scenic is delighted to announce NASA Scientist Dr Kathy Sullivan as the Godmother of Scenic’s second Discovery Yacht, Scenic Eclipse II. Set to be christened on 3 June 2023 in a glistening ceremony in the Spanish city of Malaga, the American geologist and oceanographer is the perfect person to take on the illustrious role of Godmother.
“It’s a high honour to be a ship’s Godmother,” said Dr. Sullivan, upon accepting the role. “I’m especially delighted to be Godmother to a vessel as well-designed for exploration and discovery as Scenic Eclipse II.” she said.
Like its sister ship, Scenic Eclipse, Scenic Eclipse II will set the benchmark in ultra-luxury ocean cruising. The 550ft, 228-guest discovery yacht is small enough to access ports and coves otherwise inaccessible to traditional cruise ships and boasts its own helicopters^ and submarine^ to give guests unrivalled access to nature during voyages. It is also built to the highest polar specifications, allowing it to sail ice-laden Arctic and Antarctic waters.
Scenic Eclipse II joins the Discovery Yacht fleet in mid-April 2023, with the naming ceremony taking place in June 2023 after a series of immersive sailings, exploring the charming ports and villages of the Mediterranean, that larger ships cannot access. Scenic Eclipse II will then head north to explore the dramatic landscapes, unique wildlife and remote communities of the Arctic including Greenland, Svalbard and Iceland for a season of exploration.
