Scenic Luxury Cruises Takes Delivery of the Luxury Yacht Scenic Eclipse - Christening To Be Held in New York
In addition, Scenic today released footage of the final tests and
trials of the state-of-the-art Airbus H130 helicopters. The video shows
the helicopters landing on the deck of Scenic Eclipse and being stored in the specially-designed onboard hangars (US link: www.scenicusa.com/ocean-cruises; CAN link: www.scenic.ca/ocean-cruises). As one of the quietest helicopters in the skies, the H130 sets the standard for tourism operations worldwide
and will give guests the opportunity to explore beyond the horizon,
with unparalleled access to some of nature’s most beautiful sites.
“These final stages are significant highlights in any ship build,” said
Scenic Founder and Chairman, Glen Moroney, “and particularly for a
vessel of the technological sophistication of Scenic Eclipse. I’m very proud to say Eclipse
has been successfully certified for passenger ship operations, has been
officially registered, and we are now in the final stages of
preparations for our inaugural voyage.”
