Scenic Ocean Scenic Eclipse II Cruise Reviews

We did a river cruise with Scenic several years ago. The trip was so enjoyable, we did not hesitate to sign up with this company again. Scenic Eclipse II lived up to our expectations. Of course there was a little thing here or there but it is a newer boat with newer crew and overall, we cannot give less than 5. We had a simple suite that was roomy and comfortable. The bed was awesome and ...

We choose this cruise as an easy way to experience Iceland. But by the time we set off we had had so much difficulty dealing with the Scenic Office Team that we wished we had never booked. Difficulties with travel arrangements, officious medical reports and ridiculous recommendations for packing lists appeared to multiply as time went by. No help given just more problems for us to deal with. This ...

We have been travelling with Scenic for over 15 years now. We continue to travel with this company as we have always had excellent tours and cruises as well as exceptional tour directors. The tours we have experienced cover land, river and ocean. Scenic Eclipse, both 1 and 2 are beautiful ships but most of all the crew, food and excursions excel themselves. We did Antarctica in early ...

We had never been to the Nordic countries and chose to combine the scenic 2 cruise with 15 day land based tour of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Estonia. We enjoyed the overall experience and were satisfied with most of the staff and very satisfied exploration team. The food and food presentation was excellent . The exploration team explained what they were trying to achieve and explained why ...

My wife and I travelled on Scenic Eclipse 1 in September 2019. The ship had been launched much later than expected, and had only been on a few cruise segments before we boarded, and it still had many problems - not least the Discovery Team (i.e. the "expert" guides on board). It was our first cruise with Scenic, and looked destined to be our last. I wrote to Scenic to complain. They responded ...

We undertook a cruise to the Arctic (Svalbard, Greenland, Iceland, 15 days) in July 2023 on Scenic Eclipse II. It was our first cruise with Scenic and we are fit, athletic people in our early 50’s. Like some of the other reviewers, we would certainly concur with the view that Scenic are horrendous with their communication and organisation prior to you stepping foot on the boat. Looking at the ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and we weren't disappointed, getting to sail 81 degrees north and seeing Walrus and Polar Bears in their natural habitat were highlights. The ship itself at first appeared a bit too glitzy (we normally sail Seabourn) but we came to like its different spaces and varied lighting. The cabin was very comfortable and the crew were amazing. Lots of ...

I wanted to see Svalbard, polar bears, reindeer, Arctic foxes, whales, glaciers and birds-all of which was superb. The weather was perfect; the ship was great; the staff was fabulous; the food was excellent. On board there was very little to complain about. However, Scenic's land portion, getting to the airport from the Scenic hotel, Clarion in Oslo, was a nightmare. Nobody knew what they were ...

Everything is relative, right? My experience on Scenic Eclipse II is based on other experiences I’ve had, so it might be helpful to know something about me and my husband, travel-wise. I haven’t counted, but am quite certain that we’ve been on more than 40 cruises in the last 38 years. When traveling with our children, we sailed on Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, and the like. We used to ...

We were very keen to experience the Scenic Eclipse and were most impressed with the advanced technology and wonderful crew. On one of the sea days we did tours of the engine rooms and 4 galleys - the staff are very proud of the new ship and there is a great sense of camaraderie. The Captain Torry enthusiastically welcomed everyone to visit the bridge and interacted extremely well with ...
