SCENIC Group has announced plans to take ultra-luxury cruising to a new level, unveiling its upcoming discovery yacht Scenic Ikon, which will sail its inaugural season from Apr 2028.
Larger in size than Eclipse I and Eclipse II, Ikon will be able to host up to 270 guests across 135 all-verandah suites, and its design has also been crafted to cater to both polar and warm water tropical destinations.
Offering plenty of toys to maximise discovery, Ikon will be equipped with two Airbus H130-T2 helicopters, a custom-designed Triton AVA submersible, Zodiacs, and luxurious superyacht Fassmer tenders.
While helicopter rides are an added cost, earlybird bookings will have chopper excursions included in their ticket.
“Scenic Ikon has been conceived, engineered and built with our in-house ship building division at MKM Yachts and will be operated entirely by our own dedicated Scenic crew,” Scenic Group founder and Chairman Glen Moroney said.
“This remarkable vessel (render pictured) is the result of more than three years of passion, innovation and development by our team…every element has been optimised to deliver unrivalled experiences across diverse destinations,” he added.
Construction of Ikon is already underway, and remains on schedule for delivery at the end of 2027, ahead of final testing and entry into service. AB
