Itinerary

Welcome on board your Discovery Yacht Scenic Eclipse II, where you will be greeted by the Captain and our attentive crew. Meet your butler and settle into your spacious 6-star suite.

Your unforgettable journey begins in the dynamic capital of Panama, where a striking skyline of modern skyscrapers meets the colonial charm of 17th-century churches and historic plazas. A melting pot of cultures, this cosmopolitan city is alive with history, vibrant markets, and a thriving culinary scene. (D)

Today, pass through the Panama Canal, the most famous attraction in Panama. Considered one of the ‘Seven Wonders of the Modern World’, this canal is seen by many as an engineering miracle which was at first considered impossible to build.

Later, you may choose to rejuvenate in the expansive Senses Spa. Attain a Zen-like state after a yoga or Pilates class or choose to indulge in a range of treatments# and wellness experiences, including massages and facials, body wraps and scrubs, manicures, and pedicures. (B/L/D)

Guna Yala, also known as the San Blas Islands, is governed by Panama’s Guna Indigenous people, who work tirelessly to ensure this pocket of paradise is preserved and protected for future generations. The narrow territory is made up of 365 islands, of which only 50 are inhabited by Guna people – the rest are blissfully unpeopled and untouched.

Look out for stalls selling molas, a traditional textile made from layers of coloured fabric crafted to form patterns and pictures inspired by their cosmogenic beliefs – these one-of-a-kind souvenirs are as eye-catching as they are intricate.

Discovery: Join your Discovery Team for a kayak or stand-up paddleboard excursion, spending the day exploring the sparkling waters of this stunning archipelago. Paddle through breathtaking scenery, swim or snorkel over vibrant coral reefs, and then relax on a sandy beach under a palm tree, soaking in the beauty around you. (B/L/D)

The World Heritage-listed city of Cartagena is a beautifully preserved walled city full of churches, monasteries, bustling plazas and colourful terraces with balconies draped in bougainvillea.

Renowned for vibrant festivals and exquisite cuisine, Cartagena is a treasure trove of Latin American culture and history. Wander its Old Town, with cobblestone streets that are frequented by artisans and food vendors touting tropical fruits. The surrounding landscape of pristine beaches, tropical forests and a 17th century fortress adds to its allure. (B/L/D)

On your second day in Cartagena, the city unveils fresh highlights to enjoy. The vibrant Getsemaní district captivates with its bold street art and dynamic energy, a lively contrast to the Old Town’s charm. The serene Plaza de San Diego offers historical elegance and a quiet beauty, perfect for a brief pause. The bustling Bazurto Market brims with local colour, from tropical fruits to artisan crafts. These treasures complement the city’s churches, plazas, and fortress, enriching your experience of its vibrant heritage. (B/L/D)

Embark on a cultural odyssey at Cabo de La Vela, where the indigenous Wayuu people welcome you to their ancestral lands. Learn about their rich traditions, from vibrant handicrafts to ancient rituals. Engage with locals and share stories during a visit to the local school. Cabo de La Vela is a place of striking beauty where the rugged desert landscape is adorned with windswept dunes and lapped by crystalline waters.

Discovery: On this day, you might have the chance to enjoy a Zodiac cruise, snorkelling, or other water activities with your Discovery Team. Please check the Daily Program for full details. (B/L/D)

Step into the captivating charm of this picturesque harbour town, where colourful Dutch architecture blends seamlessly with Caribbean warmth. Indulge in unique shopping experiences, then relax on a historic 17th-century veranda with a refreshing drink made from the legendary Curaçao liqueur. Stroll through Willemstad’s World Heritage-listed Old Town and harbour and savour a delicious fusion of Dutch and Afro-Caribbean culinary delights. (B/L/D)

A day at sea offers the perfect opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the ultra-luxury experience of Scenic Eclipse II. Indulge in wellness treatments, stay active in the fitness centre or simply unwind while enjoying the endless Caribbean horizon.

Check the daily program for engaging lectures and discussions hosted by the Discovery Team, where you can dive deeper into the vibrant culture, history, and natural wonders of the Caribbean islands.

Tonight, dine around the world with Scenic Eclipse's extraordinary dining experiences, such as Sushi @ Koko’s or fine French cuisine at Lumière (both available by on board reservation). (B/L/D)

A picture-perfect paradise, the Tobago Cays are a pristine collection of five uninhabited islands in the heart of the Grenadines. Protected as a marine park, these breathtaking isles are surrounded by crystalline turquoise lagoons, vibrant coral reefs, and an abundance of marine life.

Discovery: On this day, you might have the chance to enjoy a Zodiac cruise, snorkelling, or other water activities with your Discovery Team. Please check the Daily Program for full details. (B/L/D)

A true hidden gem of the Caribbean, Mayreau is the smallest inhabited island in the Grenadines, spanning just four-square kilometres (1.5 square miles) and home to a community of around 250 residents. With no airport and limited access, this secluded paradise remains blissfully untouched. From the hilltop church, take in breathtaking panoramic views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea.

Unwind with a signature cocktail at the Sky Bar, then indulge in an all-inclusive culinary experience, from contemporary French fine dining at Lumière to the finest steak and seafood at Elements or bold Asian fusion flavours at Koko’s.

Tucked beneath the majestic World Heritage-listed Pitons, Soufrière captures the essence of St. Lucia's charm. This quaint town buzzes with street vendors, local shops, hidden waterfalls and vibrant pools.

Once the original capital of Saint Lucia, Soufrière lies within the Qualibou Depression, the crater of a dormant volcano. Visitors can unwind in mud baths, explore sulphur springs and marvel at the iconic lava domes, Gros Piton and Petit Piton.

Savor the island's flavourful cuisine, from green figs and salt fish to hearty callaloo soup, traditionally made with crab or shrimp.
