Where will you be in 2027? Discover the World with Scenic Discovery Yachts

Imagine a journey where the world unfolds at your feet, from Arctic landscapes to golden islands and ancient civilizations, all experienced in effortless ultra-luxury. It’s the kind of travel that doesn’t just take you somewhere new, it stays with you, shaping the way you see each place long after you’ve left it behind.

There’s something truly special about a Discovery Yacht that can adapt to its surroundings, whether it’s pausing at a secluded beach or navigating through polar waters. Each day feels open and unhurried, guided by curiosity and a sense of possibility, where no two moments unfold in quite the same way.

Each voyage welcomes up to 228 guests (200 in the polar regions), offering an intimate, all-inclusive experience with attentive service, world-class dining, unforgettable excursions, and all-verandah suites that redefine ultra-luxury.

 

Discover New Frontiers in 2027

The 2027 season invites you to explore 500 ports across 63 countries, where each destination reveals its own story. From a helicopter flight in Antarctica over Snow Hill Island’s Emperor penguin colony to a quiet paddle along Chilean fjords, these are moments that feel vivid and lasting, the kind you return to long after the journey ends.

 

Pole to Pole: Unrivalled Polar Exploration

For those drawn to the far reaches of the Earth, these journeys offer access to the Arctic and Antarctic in a way that feels both immersive and deeply moving. In Canada’s Hudson Bay, experience the stillness of the north, where beluga whales move through calm waters and Churchill quietly lives up to its reputation as the Polar Bear Capital of the World.

In Antarctica, each experience unfolds in layers. Step onto the ice, glide across the water by Zodiac or kayak, or pause and take in the vast silence around you. Beneath the surface, the Scenic Neptune submersible reveals another world entirely, while above, helicopters offer a perspective that reshapes the landscape below. For those travelling in October or November, the journey to Snow Hill Island offers a rare opportunity to observe Emperor Penguins in their natural habitat, an experience that feels both humbling and unforgettable.

 

Europe & Mediterranean: A Kaleidoscope of Cultures, Histories, Architecture, Landscapes and Cuisines

The Mediterranean beckons with its timeless beauty, where each coastline reveals layers of history, culture, and everyday life. Sail the Balearic Islands from Madeira to Palma de Mallorca, explore the Eastern Mediterranean with stops in Alexandria, or uncover Italy’s hidden treasures in the Aeolian Islands along the Adriatic.

Days unfold effortlessly, wandering through sunlit villages, discovering local traditions, and returning onboard to evenings shaped by exceptional cuisine, carefully selected wines, and uninterrupted sea views. From vibrant beaches to cultural encounters, each moment feels immersive and unhurried. For a touch of glamour, experience the Monaco Grand Prix from the French Riviera, where the energy of the event meets the calm of life at sea.

 

The Americas: Caribbean, South, and North

In 2027, exploration across the Americas feels both expansive and deeply connected to each place. From South America’s dramatic landscapes to the Caribbean’s vibrant island rhythm and North America’s diverse coastlines, each journey reveals something different.

Sail through the Caribbean from Antigua to Barbados, where Saint Barthélémy’s understated glamour, St. Lucia’s volcanic beauty, and the untouched serenity of the Tobago Cays create a journey shaped by contrast and colour.

Further south, Patagonia’s rugged beauty, the Chilean fjords, and the Falklands offer landscapes that feel vast and untamed, while journeys from Panama to Chile invite you into national parks, desert civilizations, and cultures rich with history. Closer to home, itineraries to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia bring a sense of discovery to familiar shores, revealing them in a new and unexpected way.

 

The Ancient Wonders of the Red Sea

For those inspired by history and culture, journeys through Egypt offer a deeper connection to the past. Stand before the Pyramids of Giza, trace the stories of ancient civilizations, and experience the Nile in a way that feels immersive and considered.

This maiden voyage along one of the world’s most storied rivers brings history into the present, where each site and each moment feels layered with meaning and timeless in its significance.

Scenic Discovery Yachts bring together ultra-luxury, innovation, and discovery with precision and refinement. Each journey is intimate and all-inclusive, offering the freedom to explore remote corners of the world in comfort and confidence.
