Scenic Ikon: discover the unknown in style
The Scenic Ikon, the new flagship of the Scenic fleet, combines the longing for discovery with the demand for luxury, technology and elegance.
When the sky is reflected in the sea and the light glides over the waves like liquid gold , a helicopter rises from the deck. It glides almost weightlessly over the ocean. Below it glides a ship that was not simply built, but conceived: Scenic Ikon. From April 2028, the new flagship of the Scenic fleet will set course for the most remote corners of the world - and at the same time for an extraordinary definition of the term "expedition". With a length of 205 meters and space for just 270 guests, she is not a place of mass but of scale, offering generosity in every dimension. 135 suites, all with private verandas, create the intimacy that turns travel into an experience. Here, space is a value, silence a luxury and time a gift. Between Antarctica and the Aegean, between the Northern Lights and glowing horizons, the Scenic Ikon celebrates the beauty of the world - not as a fleeting sight, but as an encounter.
When you step on board, you leave everyday life far behind . Two of the ship's own helicopters invite you to enjoy flights with views of volcanoes, fjords, glaciated mountain ranges and archipelagos. A spectacle that can only be captured in all its drama from the air, while the Scenic Neptune III submarine glides silently below the water's surface into a world of light and silence. Above and below the waves, moments are created that are not staged, but experienced. On board, a subtle interplay of design, pleasure and atmosphere unfolds. 15 culinary experiences - from avant-garde cuisine to a relaxed lounge by the sea - tell stories of regions, ingredients and people. The spa retreat, 1,700 square meters over two decks, offers relaxation in its purest form. Every move, every detail follows the idea that true luxury does not lie in abundance, but in the self-evident fact that everything is possible - from champagne in the suite to dinner under the stars. Everything is part of a limitless all-inclusive experience. "The Scenic Ikon is the result of more than three years of passion, innovation and vision," says Glen Moroney, founder of the Scenic Group. "She was created to explore the unknown in style - from the ice caps of Antarctica to the golden sunsets of the Mediterranean." Construction is progressing according to plan: after the keel is laid in May 2025, delivery is scheduled for the end of 2027. The maiden voyage was fully booked shortly after the announcement - a sign that exclusivity does not have to be advertised loudly. Under the motto "Cherish the Planet", Scenic is committed to a conscious use of the earth's resources; hybrid technology, innovative waste and water treatment systems and sustainable supply chains are used. Scenic stands for handcrafted land journeys, award-winning river and ocean cruises and the art of rethinking travel. The Scenic Ikon is the culmination of this philosophy. It is not a ship in the classic sense, but a promise - to those who not only want to see the world, but feel it.
