Scenic Group has unveiled its new 2028 and 2029 Europe, Mediterranean, and Americas Discovery Yacht collection, led by Scenic Ikon’s inaugural season and a significantly expanded range of handcrafted land journeys.
Launching in April 2028, Scenic Ikon will join Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Eclipse II, growing the Scenic Discovery Yacht fleet to three and creating greater choice across ocean and land journeys.
The collection introduces a new range of itineraries and destinations across the Eastern Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean, Atlantic and West Africa, including new land journeys in Italy, Malta, Turkey and Greece. Enhanced benefits for guests staying in premium suites and complimentary helicopter flightseeing on eligible Super Earlybird bookings will further elevate Scenic’s truly all-inclusive ultra-luxury experience.
Scenic Ikon opens new destinations
Scenic Ikon’s inaugural season will focus on the Eastern Mediterranean, Adriatic and Aegean, combining iconic coastlines with boutique islands, smaller harbours and lesser-visited destinations.
New itineraries will include the Greek islands, with Naxos, Milos, Paros, and Hydra, alongside Adriatic ports such as Kotor, Dubrovnik, and Zadar. The collection also introduces calls in Istanbul, an overnight experience in Egypt featuring the Pyramids of Giza, and voyages through the Dardanelles with opportunities to explore Troy and ANZAC Cove.
Further west, Scenic is expanding its Atlantic and West African program to include destinations such as Cape Verde and Dakar.
Scenic Ikon and the two Scenic Eclipse yachts have been purpose-designed to access smaller harbours and remote locations that are often beyond the reach of larger cruise ships, bringing guests closer to the heart of each destination.
A seamless journey from ocean to land
In response to growing demand from guests seeking to explore more deeply before or after their voyage, Scenic has expanded its collection of handcrafted land journeys and small-group tours.
New itineraries across Italy, Malta, Turkey and Greece have been designed to connect with selected Scenic Discovery Yacht voyages, allowing guests to combine coastlines, cities and inland regions in one continuous journey.
Delivered seamlessly by the Scenic team, the land journeys include luxury hotel accommodation, transfers, selected meals, guided experiences and the expertise of a dedicated Scenic Tour Director.
“The handcrafted land journeys have been designed to align pre or post a Scenic Discovery Yachts voyage, so guests can link storied coastlines, cities and inland regions into one continuous experience, enjoying the ease of a single, seamlessly curated journey, all delivered by Scenic.” Angus Crichton, Director of Land Product, Scenic Group
