Scenic’s luxury cruiser Scenic Eclipse is to set sail in the Red Sea for the first time on Saturday (17 July) to kick off a programme of cruises through to December.
And the good news is that selected sailings from October to December will be open to international guests to experience the rich Saudi heritage, stunning landscapes and warm hospitality.
Glen Moroney, founder and chairman of Scenic Group commented: “Saudi Arabia will be one of the hottest tourist destinations in coming years and we are very glad our guests will get to experience it on board Scenic Eclipse.
“As a business we continue to raise the bar in ultra-luxury cruising and we are confident that this new season will mark the start of a long relationship with the destination and hope to be able to offer more sailings in the region in the coming years.”
The vessel will homeport in Jeddah on the Red Sea coast and will be offering tailor-made as well as pre-planned itineraries.
Destinations include Yanbu, the diving capital of Saudi Arabia, Aqaba in Jordan and Port Ghalib Marina, just a short distance from Luxor in Egypt.
