Scenic adds submersible experience in Great Barrier Reef
Scenic Eclipse II is the first commercial cruise operator to offer a submersible experience in the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia.
With the introduction of its new submersible Scenic Neptune II, the Discovery Yacht sets the benchmark in underwater exploration. On the opposite coast of Australia, the 228-guest, ultra-luxury yacht will be the only ship in the Kimberley region with two state-of-the-art helicopters. This allows for unparalleled exploration in one of the world’s most rugged and remote destinations.
