"Negatives: lazy butler; nice cabin but not spectacular; weak/no Wi-Fi in cabin (went to Azure cafe to connect to the internet); no place to hang wet clothes; no menus online (have to visit each restaurant); no pool - just some warm (not hot) tubs; long disembarkation day - had to be out of cabins at 8 am and reached hotel at 7 pm - a waste of a day (luggage - even though it was on the bus with us - arrived in our rooms 1-1.5 hours later); no restaurant/tour recommendations at Hotel prior to cruise (other cruise lines/ tour agencies had recommendations posted in the lobby); paid for a extra night in Buenos Aires (11:30 pm flight) - Scenic scheduled us for a noon checkout...."Read More

1-10 of 33 Scenic Ocean Scenic Eclipse Cruise Reviews for Luxury to South America
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 ...
Chose for a special birthday as liked the look and size of vessel when launched. The itinerary was very different and date worked well for us. all travel arrangements worked well and nice hotel overnight in Panama.Embarkation was very quick and shown straight to superb suite. Only one disappointment in cabin - the terrible and dangerous configuration of wardrobe door with bathroom door. Rest of ...
After a lot of research Scenic Eclipse was our choice because of the luxury and amenities offered and included.
Cruise started off rough when we were not included in priority boarding, so we were not feeling so go about things to come, But once on board, things were looking up when we met our Butler Vladimir. He started out working to find out what we needed and our likes. Vladimir was ...
The only way to see Antarctica is by boat and we chose this cruise because it was all-inclusive. It was our first cruise and we didn't want the stress of tipping etc. There were other stresses such as booking restaurants at the beginning which could have caught out us rookies - but the person who did our check-in tipped me the wink. All the staff were amazing. And the Discovery Team was ...
Chosen because of previous positive experience with Scenic (Mekong).
Voyage selected as soon as the boat launched and programme announced but blighted by CV so although postponed a couple of years the trip reached and exceeded expectation.
The cruise itself was beyond reproach, superb organisation, elegant soothing decor, amazing lounge with a bar offering, it was claimed, 138 whiskies, all ...
Bucket list cruise. Positives: amazing cruise itinery; ship staff in general very attentive. Naturalists were top notch and gave interesting lectures. Open bridge was a nice addition. Did not go to evening shows so cannot comment. Negatives: lazy butler; nice cabin but not spectacular; weak/no Wi-Fi in cabin (went to Azure cafe to connect to the internet); no place to hang wet clothes; no ...
This was our third trip with Scenic but the first time on Scenic Eclipse. It was such a wonderful experience. We were in a spa suite on 8th floor. The room was so spacious and with a lovely, modern decor. All the staff on the boat were very polite and attended to every detail. Most impressive is their restaurants which have very high standard service and food and their menu are always different. ...
Great trip.
Captain and hotel manager fantastic.
Crew great - Damir, gregg, Christian, Deane stop out.
Enrichment lectures great - I lined the short and punchy nature.
Did well to find weather holes and calm slots.
Entertainment poor - especially the pianist.
Little atmosphere created in the lounge.
