Scenic: Immersive and Holistic Experiences at Sea


Scenic continues to develop wellness experiences at sea, designed to combine discovery and relaxation in a deeply personal and immersive way.

The Scenic Wellness Voyage is conceived as a retreat at sea, a journey where restoration unfolds gradually through movement, stillness, nourishment, and intention. This experience is guided not by rigid schedules or sightseeing alone, but by the rhythms of the body and the calming presence of the open water.

A highlight of the 2026 voyages is the presence of internationally renowned yoga instructor Marcos Jassan. With decades of experience and a teaching philosophy that blends classical tradition with modern understanding, Marcos offers a grounded, human approach to wellbeing. His sessions focus on awareness, alignment, and breath, providing guests with tools they can carry with them long after the voyage ends. Drawing on a background in yoga philosophy, anatomy, and mindful movement, his guidance encourages exploration without pressure and presence without expectation.

Wellness aboard the Scenic Eclipse is woven into the natural rhythm of each day. Guests can choose sunrise yoga overlooking the open sea, personalized facial treatments at the Senses Spa, or sound healing sessions designed to restore balance and calm. Additional options include Pilates classes, serene saunas, and invigorating cold-plunge pools, allowing guests to tailor their wellness experience according to their individual needs and energy levels. The setting for this journey is the yacht itself, Scenic Eclipse, designed as a true sanctuary rather than a traditional cruise ship. Every element on board promotes relaxation and rejuvenation, from expansive spa spaces and quiet areas to dedicated studios for movement and mindfulness.

Daily wellness practices are designed to meet guests where they are, whether through gentle movement, guided breathing, or simply creating space for rest. Wellness is not treated as a goal to achieve but as an experience to be felt and integrated over time. Interactive workshops explore topics such as stress management and mindful nutrition, while culinary experiences support wellbeing without sacrificing pleasure.

Sea days are not considered empty intervals but opportunities for deeper immersion in wellness practices, while destinations add cultural richness without disrupting the overall rhythm of the cruise. Whether sailing from the Caribbean to Europe or along the Pacific coast of the Americas, the journey maintains continuity, allowing guests to remain present and engaged.

Scenic’s 2026 Wellness Voyages open a new chapter in ocean travel, where luxury is measured by the emotions a journey evokes rather than the distance traveled. The experience encourages slowing down, reflection, and experiencing travel as a form of restoration.

According to Ken Muskat, President of Scenic Group USA & LATAM, wellness today is no longer a simple amenity but a mindset that shapes travel choices. The 2026 Wellness Voyages aboard Scenic Eclipse are designed to provide spaces for restoration at sea—not by adding more activities, but by curating meaningful moments in environments intended to nurture body and mind. For Scenic, luxury is measured by how a journey makes guests feel long after returning home.

Ensuring maximum relaxation are Scenic’s Spa Suites, ranging from 46 to 50 m², located on decks 8 and 9, offering elegant spaces designed for ultimate comfort. Each suite features a king-size Scenic Slumber bed with a separate sleeping area and a lounge space with armchair, perfect for moments of relaxation. The spacious bathroom includes a rectangular spa bath on Scenic Eclipse I and a circular spa bath on Scenic Eclipse II, along with a steam shower with oversized showerhead and relaxing light therapy. Double vanities, luxury amenities, and a Dyson hairdryer are provided, and a walk-in closet completes the space, ensuring both order and convenience.

The Spa Suites also include a fully stocked mini-bar replenished daily with wines, champagnes, and spirits personalized to guest preferences, along with illy coffee and selected teas. The experience is completed with personalized butler service and complimentary laundry service, guaranteed restaurant reservations, priority selection for shore excursions, and VIP embarkation and disembarkation. Comfort is further enhanced by an advanced HVAC system delivering 100% fresh air and the highest soundproofing standards certified by Bureau Veritas, creating quiet, restorative environments.

Thanks to this approach, every Scenic journey is more than an itinerary—it is a complete experience combining discovery, relaxation, and wellbeing. Every detail on board, from the Spa Suites to shared spaces, contributes to creating moments of wonder and lasting memories, transforming the journey into an opportunity for profound rejuvenation and authentic enjoyment.
