Scenic Luxury Tours & Cruises has unveiled two itineraries for its newest ship, the Scenic Eclipse, travelling to the Caribbean and South America.

Scenic Eclipse

The new Scenic Eclipse ship from Scenic Luxury Tours & Cruises.

The first itinerary named Taste of the Caribbean, is a 15-day voyage which has a focus on some of the lesser-visited ports in the region.

Colombia & Panama, the second itinerary revealed, combines some of the region’s major ports with “off-the-beaten-path opportunities”. 

Scenic Eclipse, which officially launches on 15th August, will spend six weeks sailing along the North American east coast.

About the Taste of the Caribbean itinerary

  • A stop will also be made at Great Inagua Island, which is home to more than 140 species of native and migratory birds, including 80,000 West Indian flamingoes.
  • Groups will also be able to snorkel off the coast of Guanaja Island in Honduras, with 90% of the island dedicated to national forest reserve and marine park.
  • The Scenic Eclipse will depart from Nassau, Bahamas and will disembark in Miami.

About the Colombia & Panama itinerary

  • Guests will depart from Miami and sail to Belize City, giving groups the opportunity to see its colonial houses, seaside parks and Mayan ruins.
