Scenic releases details of latest Discovery Yacht

Scenic Group has released itinerary details for new Discovery Yacht Scenic Ikon.

 

The 270-passenger capacity luxury vessel’s maiden season starts in April 2028 from Venice on a sold-out inaugural cruise. 

 

Sailings through to March 2029 cover 110 ports across 21 countries, including 26 new destinations. 

 

The ship is due to cover the Mediterranean, Aegean and Egypt, the Cape Verde Islands, Dakar, Antarctica, Falkland Islands and Chilean fjords.

 

Scenic Ikon will be equipped with two Airbus helicopters, a custom-designed Triton submersible, Zodiacs, and superyacht tender vessels.

 

Newly unveiled helicopter landings including renowned golf courses, local restaurants, historic cultural landmarks — along with access to some of the world’s most remote wilderness regions — will feature across the Scenic Discovery Yachts collection.

 

Construction of Scenic Ikon is well underway, following a steel-cutting ceremony in Croatia in February and the keel laying in May. 

 

The yacht remains “firmly on schedule” for delivery at the end of 2027, ahead of final testing and entry into service, according to Scenic.

 

Founder and chairman Glen Moroney said: “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. 

 

“This remarkable vessel is the result of more than three years of passion, innovation and development by our team, and we are delighted to share the Discovery Yacht with our valued guests, travel agents and partners. 

 

"Every element of Scenic Ikon’s design has been optimised to deliver unrivalled experiences across diverse destinations and environments, from its primary base the Mediterranean to the wilds of Antarctica.”
