The test runs of the new Triton 660/9 AVA submarine, which bears the name Scenic Neptune II, have already been completed. A submarine expedition is now possible on the voyages of the Scenic Eclipse II. Guests can go diving in the South Pacific, on the Great Barrier Reef and in East Antarctica.

Breathtaking experience

You experience the unique feeling of being connected to the underwater world. The glazed acrylic hull provides a 270-degree panoramic view of passing fish and colorful corals. There's a team of experts on board for every trip. This gives passengers even more comprehensive insights into the local flora and fauna. The next trips on which the submarine expedition can be booked have already been confirmed:
