As of August 2020, she is the first ocean going vessel and flagship for the Scenic Group.
The vessel was built at the Uljanik shipyard in Pula, Croatia.

During the pandemic, the Scenic Eclipse was in ‘warm lay-up status’ in the Port of Rijeka from May 2020 until June 2021 when it sailed to Saudi Arabia.
The ship resumed scheduled passenger operations in January 2022.

Scenic Group founder and Chairman Glen Moroney decided to build the Scenic Eclipse, after being inspired by Paul Allen’s Octopus yacht.

The construction of the Scenic Eclipse began in 2017 but was delayed numerous times due to the bankruptcy of the building yard. The vessel finally entered service in August 2019. Scenic Eclipse has a Gross Tonnage of 17,545.
