You are invited aboard the Scenic Ikon, launching in April 2028 and designed as a part of the ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht fleet. This vessel is purpose-built to carry around 270 guests in 135 all-verandah suites — a refined and intimate scale for an exploration cruiser. With an Ice Class 1A hull and engineering to Polar Code 6 standards, the ship is primed to traverse both warm-water and polar destinations with equal elegance. The journey is presented as truly all-inclusive, marrying sustainability, luxury and discovery in one immersive experience.
As a guest on the Scenic Ikon, you’ll enjoy more than a typical cruise schedule. The ship is equipped with helicopters, a submersible, expert-led excursions and Zodiac landings so you can access remote regions with ease. Whether you’re flying above the Mediterranean, landing on a glacier in Antarctica or diving beneath with a sub, the adventure is built-in. The launch offer even includes a complimentary helicopter experience for selected departures. With an itinerary that covers 110 ports across 21 countries in its maiden season, you’re looking at a broad palette of destinations from the Mediterranean and Aegean to the Chilean Fjords and Antarctica.
Dining aboard the Scenic Ikon is crafted to match the vessel’s ultra-luxury credentials. While full menus are not yet publicly detailed, the ship will feature 15 distinct dining venues, offering a significant breadth of culinary experiences. The emphasis is on “culinary excellence” as part of the all-inclusive offering, so you can expect premium ingredients, sophisticated presentation and diverse international cuisine. With several venues and the scale of luxury implied, you’ll be able to dine in varied styles — from elegant fine-dining to more casual, relaxed settings — all within the inclusive fare.
When you step into your suite on the Scenic Ikon, you’ll find spacious verandah accommodation across a wide size range. The smallest suites start around 365 sq ft (approx. 34 m²) and the largest expand to more than 2,600 sq ft (approx. 250 m²) for the top-tier categories. Every cabin enjoys a private veranda and the clients are served by dedicated staff — the kind of setting one expects in ultra-luxury. With just 135 suites in total, you’ll enjoy exclusivity and space rather than crowded corridors. This carefully scaled guest list ensures that your suite feels part of a curated shared experience rather than a mass-market cruise environment.
