Why Helicopter Flightseeing Changes a Journey

“We know from guests’ feedback that a helicopter flightseeing experience can reframe a journey,” said Jason Flesher, director of discovery operations.

“By including helicopter flightseeing experiences, we are quite literally elevating ultra luxury discovery, giving guests perspectives that few travellers will ever experience by making these life-changing moments part of the extensive inclusions already provided and our guest’s personal stories for life.”

Including helicopter flightseeing experiences means guests get life-changing moments as part of the extensive inclusions already provided, turning these perspectives into personal stories for life.

Scenic’s 2028/29 Season: Eclipse II Returns to Australia

Scenic recently released details of its 2028/29 season, which will see Eclipse II return to Australia, offering voyages across:

• The Kimberley
• Asia
• The South Pacific
• Antarctica

This expands Scenic’s Discovery Yacht offerings and brings ultra-luxury discovery back to Australian waters.

Why This Is a Game-Changer for Ultra-Luxury Travel

Including helicopter flightseeing in super earlybird bookings is a game-changer for several reasons:

• New perspectives: 20-minute flights over selected destinations and 30-minute flights over Antarctica offer views few travellers ever experience
• All-inclusive elevation: Helicopter experiences are now part of the extensive inclusions, not an add-on
• Higher suite benefits: Owner’s, Penthouse and Ikon Penthouse guests get helicopter landing experiences at exclusive destinations
• Private luxury: Chairman’s Lounge offers an exclusive bar and 15 dining experiences for Penthouse guests and Chairman’s Club members
• Future season expansion: Eclipse II returning to Australia in 2028/29 brings Kimberley, Asia, South Pacific and Antarctica voyages back to Australian travellers

For travellers who want ultra-luxury discovery with life-changing moments included, Scenic’s new helicopter flightseeing inclusion takes the all-inclusive experience to new heights.
