Scenic Ocean Scenic Eclipse Cruise Reviews

My recent voyage of discovery to Antarctica, South Georgia, and Falkland Islands on Eclipse 1 with my husband (John) is nothing but praise. We were welcomed on board by the Captain. Followed through into the lounge area where we met the Restaurant Manager who remembered us from a previous cruise. We were introduced to many crew. After a welcoming drink and made to feel special, it was time to ...

It has been a lifelong dream to visit Antartica. We studied many other cruise lines for this experience and decided on Scenic as for the money it was the best value overall. This was our first luxury cruise and we really enjoyed the all inclusive approach to cruising. This ship is more of an expedition yacht and designed for a small group experience (200 or less). This made for a more relaxed ...

I went on this cruise a bit nervous and hesitant. It was my Husband's dream and I went along. I LOVED it! The ship is amazing, the crew is amazing, the food is amazing and the destinations and experiences are amazing! The ship is beautiful aesthetically, it is also fast and smooth. The crew from the Captain down is incredibly enthusiastic and friendly. The Discovery team is a stroke of ...

The service, food, cabins were all great. Totally disappointed in communication. Never received the next days schedule until 8-9 the night before. Even the next morning crew were not versed as to what the schedule would be. Totally unacceptable was our return flights. 1 1/2 days before departure we were told that our ship would dock at 9:00 and couldn't leave the ship until at least 9:30. We ...

My voyage aboard the Scenic Eclipse was nothing short of extraordinary. Embarking on the Circle Svalbard cruise, which covered the entire Spitzbergen Archipelago, surpassed my high expectations and even exceeded the memorable Charcot North Pole expedition I embarked upon the previous year. These two vessels, Scenic Eclipse and Charcot, now hold a special place in my heart. The suites on Scenic ...

I had terrible difficulty booking back-to-back trips with Scenic but managed to accomplish it after lots of tries deciphering pieces gleamed from various Scenic web sites. This was the second half of a circumnavigation of Japan, and I won’t repeat what I already said in that review (Learning experience 1). Our previous segment was very full so that staff were really spread thin running around and ...

We chose Scenic Eclipse to experience a 5-star luxury ocean cruise around Japan, based in large part on the rave reviews of their European River Cruises. Our 2-star experience began with the transfer at the airport. The Scenic "representative" told us (according to her list) we weren't supposed to be there for another 2 hours. She took care of another Scenic couple on our flight, putting them in ...

I wanted to get an in depth visit to Japan and circumnavigate the country. While Japan did not disappoint, I question the choice of doing it on Scenic. We have had a fair amount of experience of luxury cruises on Regent Seven Seas, Crystal and Silversea. A real eye opener was realizing after a day or two that this would be more like a riverboat cruise than an ocean voyage. Scenic Eclipse is a ...

Scenic has just started in the luxury cruise business and it shows. Rating Scenic with the "top tier" cruise lines, they come in dead last. Food was just so so, cabin was a nightmare, entertainment was bare bones, and most of the land tours were boring. Service could be good at times and the staff was friendly. Scenic's big claim to fame is the ship itself which is very modern and sleek with ...

We had previously been on Scenic River cruises and were exceptionally pleased with every aspect of the trip. It was a true 5-star experience so we had high expectations for this ocean cruise. The ship can accommodate 200 passengers. On this cruise from San Diego to Vancouver, only 128 guests were aboard. BUT half of them were traveling for free since they were travel agents, so only about 60 ...
