Scenic Group has announced the launch of Scenic Ikon, a new class of ‘Discovery Yachts’- and the opening of bookings at special pre-release pricing. Scenic Ikon joins the luxury cruise line’s ocean fleet – currently Scenic Eclipse I and II - in polar waters and its primary base of the Mediterranean, beginning in spring of 2028.
Three years in development, Scenic Ikon is slightly bigger than the Eclipse class of ships, accommodating up to 270 guests, with new features and amenities, while maintaining its ultra-luxury, all-inclusive
Polar and Warm-Water Sailing
The new class of ship remains purpose-built for both warm-water and polar sailing, engineered to be rated Polar Code 6 with an Ice Class 1A, Super-strongened hull.
The Ultimate Expedition ‘Toys’ – with New, Elevated Experiences
Like Scenic Eclipse, Scenic Ikon will be among the best-equipped expedition ships at sea. With two Airbus helicopters and a custom-designed Triton AVA submersible, guests will be able to explore above and below the waves, not just upon them.
New for Scenic Ikon, its helicopter program will take ultra-luxury exploration to extraordinary new heights. Guests taking advantage of the Pay in Full offers will enjoy a complimentary flight.
In addition, depending on the destination, Scenic Ikon will offer Chairman’s Club members and Penthouse and Owner’s Suite guests exclusive helicopter landings at renowned golf courses, celebrated local restaurants, and historic landmarks, together with access to some of the world's most remote and breathtaking wilderness.
Scenic Ikon will also be equipped with a full complement of watersports equipment, Zodiacs, and luxurious superyacht Fassmer tenders.
Onboard Experience
Guests will enjoy dining in 15 distinctive venues, stay in luxuriously appointed suites, socialize in vibrant lounges and relaxation spaces, each reflecting Scenic's truly all-inclusive philosophy.
The spa on the new class of ship has grown to over 18,000 square feet over two levels, and includes hydrotherapy and thermal experiences, as well as signature treatments and world-class fitness offerings.
Each voyage will include all immersive excursions, exclusive events, and entertainment.

Scenic Ikon is the latest development in nearly 4 decades of the Scenic Group, which includes ocean, river and land travel opportunities via Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, Emerald Cruises & Tours, and Mayflower Cruises & Tours to the world's most breathtaking destinations across all seven continents.
Inaugural Season
Scenic Ikon will embark on its inaugural voyage from Venice in April 2028, which has already sold out.
