Scenic Group has announced that, to commemorate the United States’ 250th birthday, the company is hosting the “Chairman’s Voyage”, allowing guests to experience America’s story at sea.
“America’s 250th anniversary is a moment to reflect on the people, places and events that shaped our country,” said Ken Muskat, President, Scenic Group USA and LATAM.
“This ‘Chairman’s Voyage’ offers guests an extraordinary opportunity to experience that history firsthand while sailing aboard the Scenic Eclipse.
From iconic cities to pivotal historic destinations, this journey combines immersive exploration, storytelling and ultra-luxury in a way that only Scenic can deliver,” added Muskat.
Departing in October 2026, the Scenic Eclipse’s exclusive “Chairman’s Voyage: America’s 250th Anniversary Cruise” will trace the eastern coastline, calling on destinations that played pivotal roles in shaping the United States.
These include New York City, Baltimore, Yorktown, Wilmington, Charleston, Miami and Key West.
