Croatian yard to build luxury discovery yacht
The Scenic Eclipse is scheduled for delivery in 2018
The 165m-long, 21m-wide 16,500gt Scenic Eclipse will be built at Croatia’s Uljanik shipyard for delivery in the summer of 2018. It will have lower berth accommodation for 228 passengers and a crew of 172 and will meet the requirements of the newly adopted Polar Code allowing operation for a certain period of the year in polar waters.
Designed by the Finnish design company Foreship and classed by Bureau Veritas (BV), Scenic Eclipse will be powered by two separate diesel-electric propulsion plants and two pods. The vessel will be granted the highest BV marks and notations, including a new Polar Class and several additional class notations related to pollution prevention such as advanced waste water treatment system, ballast water management system, waste holding capacity and Green Passport.
Particular attention has been paid to safety, meeting the Safe Return to Port criteria, and comfort of the whole accommodation, based on the BV Comfort Class criteria. All guest suites will have a private balcony and the ship will be equipped with a new generation of zero-speed high efficiency stabilisers.
Two helicopters and an observation submarine are also incorporated.
