Find Your Perfect Discovery Yacht Journey

Contact Your Cruise Travel Expert

There is no single way to see the world - and perhaps that is the greatest luxury of all. For some travellers, the perfect escape is an introduction to expedition cruising without venturing too far from home. For others, it is standing at the edge of an Antarctic wilderness, following glaciers deep into the Chilean fjords or seeking wildlife in places where few travellers ever venture. Then there are those who believe the best way to discover a destination is through its food, its flavours and the stories served around the table. The new 2027–2029 collection from Scenic Discovery Yachts is designed for all of them.

Spanning all seven continents, more than 100 countries and over 600 destinations, the collection pairs the pioneering spirit of expedition travel with the comfort and refinement of an ultra-luxury yacht. The result is a style of travel that makes it possible to go further - without leaving the finer things behind. With new itineraries across the Eastern Mediterranean, Adriatic and Aegean, deeper explorations of Southeast Asia, voyages through the Arctic, Antarctica and South America, and fresh destinations in Oceania and beyond, the question isn't simply where should you go?
It's what kind of traveller are you?

Perfect for the first-time cruiser: start closer to home
You don't have to cross the world to discover a new way of travelling. For those new to cruising - or curious about Scenic - the Hudson Bay & the Canadian Arctic offer an enticing introduction. The journey follows the St. Lawrence River before revealing the coastal character of Newfoundland and the extraordinary landscapes of Canada's north. Depending on the itinerary, travellers can encounter historic coastal communities, dramatic wilderness and even Hudson Bay's famed polar bear territory - all while enjoying the ease of all-inclusive ultra-luxury. It's an ideal first taste of expedition cruising because the sense of discovery begins close to home. Spacious verandah suites, up to 10 culinary experiences and included beverages mean that adventure never requires sacrificing comfort. Perfect for: first-time cruisers, Canadian travellers and anyone who wants expedition-style discovery without immediately committing to the far reaches of the planet.

Perfect for the ultimate expedition traveller: Antarctica and Patagonia
Some travellers don't want to dip a toe into expedition travel. They want to go all in. For them, the ultimate adventure lies south. Combine Antarctica in Depth with Chilean Fjords & The Glaciers of The Beagle Channel and the journey becomes something considerably more ambitious: an extended voyage through one of the world's most remote and awe-inspiring regions. Antarctica delivers the scale - ice, wildlife and an otherworldly sense of remoteness. Chile's southern fjords then reveal another side of the wilderness, where mountains plunge into deep waterways and glaciers dominate the landscape. The beauty of combining the two is that the expedition doesn't end when one extraordinary destination does. It builds, taking travellers deeper into the southern reaches of the planet while maintaining the comfort of an ultra-luxury ocean voyage. And the new collection extends that spirit of exploration well beyond Antarctica, with journeys ranging from the Arctic to South America and across some of the world's most remote coastlines. Perfect for: seasoned explorers, wildlife enthusiasts and travellers who measure a great journey by how far beyond the ordinary it takes them.

Perfect for the gourmet traveller: follow your appetite
For some, discovery begins at the dining table. Spring is an especially delicious time to explore the Atlantic and Mediterranean, when Andalusia comes alive and markets, restaurants and neighbourhoods seem to invite lingering. On the Madeira to the Balearic Isles journey, the itinerary reads like a culinary itinerary in its own right. There are Madeira's celebrated wines, the flavours of the Algarve, Moroccan influences and the tapas culture of Seville, with time to experience the city properly rather than simply passing through. Two days in Seville allow travellers to explore its architecture and atmospheric neighbourhoods, alongside an exclusive Scenic Enrich experience. Back onboard, up to 10 culinary experiences and included beverages make food part of the journey rather than an afterthought. It is a reminder that luxury travel isn't always about ticking off the greatest number of sights. Sometimes it is about having the time - and the appetite - to savour them. Perfect for: food lovers, wine enthusiasts and travellers who believe a destination can be understood through its flavours.

Perfect for the curious explorer: discover South America's Pacific coast
For travellers who prefer the road less travelled, 2027 brings an especially intriguing new possibility. Ancient Kingdoms and Natural Treasures: Chile to Panama is a 14-day expedition along South America's Pacific coast, linking vibrant cities, remarkable landscapes and remote destinations in a journey that balances culture, history and nature. The voyage begins amid the colourful energy of Valparaíso before moving towards the lush rainforests of Colombia. Along the way, the emphasis is firmly on immersive discovery - the kind that reveals not simply what a destination looks like, but what makes it distinctive. It is precisely the sort of itinerary that demonstrates the difference between travelling somewhere and truly experiencing it. Perfect for: curious, culturally minded travellers who want a journey with a strong sense of place - and who would rather uncover something new than follow the obvious itinerary.

Perfect for the wildlife seeker: choose the wildest horizon
There are destinations where wildlife isn't an attraction added to the itinerary. It is the reason for the journey. The new collection reaches some of the world's most compelling wildlife territories, from Canada's polar bear country and the Arctic to Antarctica, Australia's Kimberley and the waters of Raja Ampat. In these places, nature sets the timetable. A distant whale, a colony of seabirds, a polar bear on the shoreline or an unexpected encounter in an untouched wilderness can become the defining memory of an entire voyage. That unpredictability is part of the appeal. Scenic Discovery Yachts are purpose-built for discovery, giving travellers the capability to venture into remote environments while returning to an environment of exceptional comfort. Perfect for: wildlife photographers, nature lovers and anyone who would happily trade another museum visit for the possibility of an unforgettable encounter in the wild.

Perfect for the traveller who wants to see more
Ultimately, perhaps the greatest appeal of the new Scenic Discovery Yachts collection is its sheer breadth. Seven continents. More than 100 countries. More than 600 destinations. From the polar wilderness to the Pacific, from Mediterranean cities to Southeast Asian shores, the possibilities stretch far beyond a traditional cruise itinerary. And yet the philosophy remains remarkably simple: go further, discover more deeply and experience extraordinary places without compromising on comfort. Because the perfect journey isn't necessarily the one everyone else recommends. It is the one that matches you - whether your idea of paradise is a plate of tapas in Seville, a polar bear on the Arctic shore, a glacier in Antarctica, cherry blossoms in Japan or a rainforest on South America's Pacific coast. The world is vast. Your journey should be personal.

Enjoy savings starting at $500 per person, plus included Premium Economy or Business Class airfare on 2027–2029 departures when you pay in full 10 months prior to departure.
