Scenic announces new itineraries on board latest ship

The first itinerary named Taste of the Caribbean, is a 15-day voyage which has a focus on some of the lesser-visited ports in the region.

Colombia & Panama, the second itinerary revealed, combines some of the region’s major ports with “off-the-beaten-path opportunities”. 

Scenic Eclipse, which officially launches on 15th August, will spend six weeks sailing along the North American east coast.
