Scenic - Luxury Cruises & Tours

On May 9, Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Eclipse II came together in the heart of Seville, Spain, for the first time, marking a special moment for the Scenic fleet. 🚢 Guests celebrated with onboard festivities and a spectacular cultural welcome in Seville, including Flamenco and exclusive experiences showcasing the spirit of Andalusia. A heartfelt thank you to the crews, partners, and the Port of Seville for making this unforgettable moment possible. ✨

Over the weekend Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Eclipse II met on the Guadalquivir River in Seville last weekend, in a milestone moment as the Discovery Yachts journey onward through the Mediterranean. Guests cruised into the historic heart of the city for a rare river arrival that only a select few ocean vessels can experience. A ceremonial welcome with the Captains Erwan le Rouzic and Radomir Novosel, local dignitaries and an Andalusian Flamenco horse presentation set the scene. Andalusia was then brought to life through music, performance and gastronomy at an exclusive Scenic Enrich evening at Casa de Pilatos. With Scenic Ikon joining the fleet in the Mediterranean in 2028, we look forward to more magnificent moments like this.

Recently I started writing something I didn’t think I was ready to create. At the beach, I began drafting a short book called “5 Minutes to Full Power”. It focuses on something I see increasingly in both professional and personal environments: low energy, reduced focus, and mental fatigue affecting performance. The concept is simple outlining short, practical methods to reset energy, improve clarity, and regain focus in just a few minutes a day. What started as an idea is now in its final stages of refinement, and will be published in the coming days. This book also forms part of a broader direction I’m building around coaching and performance optimisation. All proceeds will be donated to charity across multiple organisations supporting wellbeing and mental health. More to come soon.

Luxury in the Caribbean is evolving—and it’s not just about where you go, but how you experience it. In this episode of Insider Session, I sat down with Hernan T. , Paradise Travel Group, Cruise Planners , to unpack his journey aboard Emerald Azzurra and what makes small yacht cruising such a powerful shift for today’s luxury traveler. We dive into: • How yacht cruising changes the Caribbean experience • The moments that surprised him most on board • Why more clients are moving beyond traditional ocean cruising • Practical ways advisors can better position this style of travel If you’re working with clients who value immersion, ease, and something that feels truly different—this is a conversation worth listening to. 🎧 Tune in here #LuxuryTravel #TravelAdvisors #SmallShipCruising #CaribbeanTravel #EmeraldAzzurra #InsiderSession

What actually makes a river cruise stand out—especially if you’ve cruised before? That’s exactly what we explored in this Insider Sessions conversation with Missy Skoog , Travel Leaders - Market Square Travel , following her sailing aboard Emerald Cruises & Tours star-ship Luna. We focused on three key takeaways: What felt different compared to other cruise experiences The type of client who would truly connect with this style of travel And the moments that exceeded expectations We also touched on her favorite onboard spaces—because often it’s those small details that shape the overall experience. These are the insights that help move beyond features and into fit—which ultimately leads to better recommendations and better experiences. Happy to connect if you’re exploring river cruise options for your clients or yourself. #luxurycruise #rivercruise #luxurytraveladvisor #podcast

I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who’s been following along with my recent posts and the launch of Insider Sessions. This series was built around a simple idea: ➡️ Move beyond the brochure ➡️ Share real, firsthand travel experiences ➡️ Help both travelers and advisors better understand what these journeys actually feel like Through conversations with travel advisors and guests, the goal is to bring more clarity, perspective, and authenticity to how we talk about travel. This quick video shares a bit more about the “why” behind the project. Appreciate you being part of it—more to come. #insidersession #luxurytraveladvisors #sceniccruises #emeraldcruises #podcast

A real joy to sail on Scenic Eclipse for the last week with an amazing team. So great to get back on board after the crossing and hit the ground running. A lovely voyage with great guests who are so lucky to have such talented entertainers on board!
