According to a press release, the guest suites range from 46 to 50 sq. meters in size and feature double hydromassage baths designed by Philippe Starck, color therapy vitalizing mist showers, “ultra-luxury accessories” and “the highest levels of sound insulation to be found on any ship according to the Bureau Veritas ship classification society.”
“We are very proud to play a major role in bringing this ultra-luxury ship to life, especially the sumptuously appointed guest suites and extraordinary spa suites,” De Wave Group CEO Riccardo Pompili commented.
As Scenic’s second “discovery yacht,” the Eclipse II will accommodate up to 228 guests in 114 suites. The vessel will be taking its guests to explore places like Greenland, Iceland and the Norwegian fjords. The expedition experience offered will be guided by an expert discovery team to explore along, below and above the horizon by zodiac, submarine and helicopter.
