Scenic to showcase yachts to agents

The Scenic Group is going to be inviting agents onboard two of its new luxury yachts in 2023, as it steps up trade activity.

The two ships Scenic Eclipse II and Emerald Sakara.

Andrea Stafford, trade sales director, said: “Stepping up our trade activity in recent months is definitely translating into bookings.

“Innovative luxury products always catch people’s attention, and we’ve got two amazing launches to shout about.

“We’ve already got plans in place to have trade partners with us at the christening ceremonies, and it is our intention invite agents on board the yachts to see how they raise the game in the luxury and exploration markets.

“Scenic Eclipse II will be making UK calls in September and we will be showcasing the yacht to the trade, which is already creating excitement.

“Both new yachts offer that ‘wow factor’ for consumers,” she said.

“We’re doubling our capacity, bringing new itineraries to the market and helping to raise awareness of luxury exploration as a sector in its own right.”

Scenic Eclipse II – sister yacht to Scenic Eclipse – launches in April with a 12-night sailing from Lisbon to Barcelona before embarking on a summer season exploring the Mediterranean, Iceland and Scotland.

Emerald Sakara, the sister to Emerald Cruises’ Emerald Azzurra, will debut with an eight-day Ionian Sea Adventure sailing from Athens to Rome, departing August 5.
