Helen Mirren, two helicopters and a submarine

Helen Mirren, two helicopters and a submarine, sounds like a great start to a James Bond movie, right? The common denominator of all three is the a ship, currently docked in Norfolk for the day. The Scenic Eclipse is setting a new standard for luxury and discovery on the seas.

She was christened just a few weeks ago in New York City by Dame Helen Mirren, who also serves as the ship’s Godmother. In addition to a stellar lineup of included amenities, the ship also features two 6 passenger helicopters as well as a 6 person submarine that guests can utilize for a fee.

I know those of you who have experienced a river cruise are familiar with the Scenic name as they have been innovators in European river cruises for several years. This is their first foray into Ocean cruising and they certainly are setting the bar quite high.

The Scenic Eclipse is a 551-foot megayacht. At the most, she will sail with just 228 guests in 114 suites.

Ashley and I will be touring the yacht today, while she’s docked at Norfolk’s Half Moone Cruise Terminal. Check out our posts on Instagram and Facebook throughout the day. We also hope to do a Facebook Live session while onboard if time allows.

When you’re ready to get out of your zip code and experience more of what the world is waiting to share with you, I would love to help. Click here to schedule an appointment.
