SCENIC Luxury Cruises & Tours’ Scenic Eclipse has left the company’s Croatian shipyard for the first time in more than a year, and is heading to Saudi Arabia for a five-month charter season.
Homeporting in Jeddah on the Red Sea coast, selected sailings from Oct-Dec will be open to international guests to experience the rich Saudi heritage, landscapes and hospitality, Scenic said.
Scenic Founder Glen Moroney said Saudi Arabia was set to be one of the hottest tourist destinations in the coming years.
“As a business we continue to raise the bar in ultra-luxury cruising and we are confident that this new season will mark the start of a long relationship with the destination,” he said.
“We hope to be able to offer more sailings in the region in the coming years,” Moroney added.
