by Earl of Cruise

Burma). Jetzt hat SCENIC angekündigt ein Schiff, und ein weiteres in Option bei der kroatischen ULJANIK GROUP bestellt zu haben, wovon das erste, die SCENIC ECLIPSE im Sommer 2018 in Dienst gehen soll.
Die neue Ozean Division von SCENIC geht mit dem luxuriösesten Expeditions Cruiser in den Markt.

Ankündigung auf der SCENIC Website

1ft= 0.3048000m

Die Kategorien zur Buchung beginnen bei den Veranda Suite mit 32m² und enden in der Eigner Penthouse Suite von 232m², mit zwei Schlafräumen ... wenn man sich etwas einschränkt ...

Bei einigen Suiten wird in meinen Augen zwar mit diesem Begriff "geschummelt", denn es sind im Grunde `big staterooms´, also "nur" Kabinen. In der oberen Buchungskategorie werden auf den SCENIC ECLIPSE aber echte Suiten angeboten ... mehr als auf EUROPA 2 (vier). Denn Suiten sind immer noch eine Folge von Räumen.

Die SCENIC ECLIPSE wird mit der höchsten Eisklasse (Polar Class 6 / Ice Class 1A Super) und einer Doppelhülle versehen sein, damit sie mit ihren maximal 228 Gästen an Bord auch in den Polarmeeren kreuzen kann. Hierzu kommt auch die Tatsache, dass nur noch 350 Gäste maximal in der Antarktis an Land dürfen. Für die SCENIC ECLIPSE sollte das also kein Problem darstellen, denn auf diesen Fahrten werden nur 200 Gäste an Bord sein, um ihnen ein wiederholtes Anland gehen in der Antarktis zu ermöglichen.
Safety First - die SCENIC ECLIPSE ist nicht nur als luxuriöse Discorevery Yacht geplant, sondern erfüllt höchste Sicherheitsnormen, und implementiert neueste Technologien. So war die Klassifizierungsgesellschaft BUREAU VERITAS bei der Planung für das neue Schiff des autralischen Veranstalters SCENIC von Beginn an beteiligt.
Die SCENIC ECLIPSE wird durch zwei diesel-elektrische Motoreinheiten und zwei Azipods angetrieben. Die Discovery Yacht erfüllt auch die SOLAS Bestimmung Safe-Return-to-Port, durch getrennte Maschinenräume. Dazu gehört zudem ein modernes Ballastwasser Management, sowie Abwasser Reinigungssystem, Abfall Vorhaltung und am Ende steht dann ein Green Passport.

SCENIC bietet auf der Hochsee für seine Discovery Yacht, wie auf den Flüssen dieser Welt, sein All-Inklusive Konzept an. Keine Sondergebühren für die unterschiedlichen Restaurants, alle Getränke, der Butler Service und einiges mehr. Alles exklusiv, alles inklusiv ... sagte einmal Elmar Gunsch.
Die Volumenanbieter müssen sich vor dem neuen SCENIC Angebot zur See nicht fürchten, denn die Reisen auf der SCENIC ECLIPSE werden ein wenig teurer angeboten. Die Anbieter von Luxuskreiuzfahrten dürften den Eintritt dieses neuen Wettbewerbers sehr aufmerksam beobachten. Schließlich will SCENIC in der Ozean Kreuzfahrt, speziell im Markt der Discoveries/Entdeckungen und Expeditionen hinsichtlich der Technologie, Sicherheit, Carbon Footprint, Schiffsgröße und Luxus an Bord neue Maßstäbe setzen. "So it is time for us, to take you beyand the horizon."

Heritage - Voyage of the Damned on St.LOUIS

St.LOUIS sailed in May 1939 with Jewish refugees to Cuba, a voyage known today as the VOAYAGE of the DAMNED. On May 13, 1939, the German liner St.LOUIS sailed from Hamburg, Germany, for Havana, Cuba.

HISTORY - The Monster-ships that changed how we Travel at Sea

Our present days sea travel, with its `luxuries´ started with the Monster-ships after the turn from 19th to 20th century, and technical progress and innovations made us think "unbeatable" at sea ... This hybris and belive in the technological progress was destroyed when the TITANIC sank after its encounter off Newfoundland with an iceberg.
