• the debut of a new class of ship: Scenic Ikon. 

Scenic Group Founder & Chairman Glen Moroney said: “From our beginnings in Australia in 1986, we have grown into a global travel group spanning all seven continents. Throughout that growth, our vision has remained the same: to continually elevate how our guests experience the world.” 

Emerald River: 

In France, Emerald Lumi will expand Emerald Cruises & Tours’ river cruise offering on the Seine River in 2027. 

Scenic River: 

Scenic’s growth in Asia will introduce journeys on India’s Hooghly River in 2027, with a further ship planned for the Brahmaputra River in 2028.

Scenic Spirit II and Scenic Spirit III will also launch on the Mekong River in 2028, further elevating the Group’s ultra-luxury ships in Southeast Asia. 

Emerald Yacht: 

The luxury yacht expansion includes Emerald Raiya in 2027 and Emerald Xara in 2028. These additions will broaden Emerald Cruises' destination offering, including the Seychelles. 

Scenic Discovery Yacht:  

Scenic Eclipse II’s return to Asia Pacific in 2028, alongside Emerald Xara’s arrival, will further strengthen the Group’s presence in the region.

Scenic Ikon will debut in the Mediterranean in April 2028, with Antarctica also featuring in its inaugural season, marking the next chapter in the Scenic Discovery Yachts ultra-luxury collection.
