Itinerary
About 8 miles downstream—which means seaward, to the east—from central London, Greenwich is a small borough that looms large across the world. Once the seat of British naval power, it is not only home to the Old Royal Observatory, which measures time for our entire planet, but also the Greenwich Meridian, which divides the world into two—you can stand astride it with one foot in either hemisphere. Bear in mind that the journey to Greenwich is an event in itself. In a rush, you can take the driverless DLR train—but many opt for arriving by boat along the Thames. This way, you glide past famous sights on the London skyline (there’s a guaranteed spine chill on passing the Tower) and ever-changing docklands, and there’s usually a chirpy Cock-er-ney navigator enlivening the journey with his fun commentary. A visit to Greenwich feels like a trip to a rather elegant seaside town—albeit one with more than its fair share of historic sites. The grandiose Old Royal Naval Hospital, designed by Christopher Wren, was originally a home for veteran sailors. Today it’s a popular visitor attraction, with a more glamorous second life as one of the most widely used movie locations in Britain. Greenwich was originally home to one of England’s finest Tudor palaces, and the birthplace of Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, and Mary I. Inigo Jones built what is considered the first “classical” building in England in 1616—the Queen’s House, which now houses a collection of fine art. Britain was the world’s preeminent naval power for over 500 years, and the excellent National Maritime Museum> details that history in an engaging way. Its prize exhibits include the coat worn by Admiral Lord Nelson (1758–1805) in his final battle—bullet hole and all. The 19th-century tea clipper Cutty Sark was nearly destroyed by fire in 2007, but reopened in 2012 after a painstaking restoration. Now it’s more pristine than ever, complete with an impressive new visitor center. Greenwich Park, London’s oldest royal park, is still home to fallow red deer, just as it has been since they were first introduced here for hunting by Henry VIII. The Ranger’s House now houses a private art collection, next door to a beautifully manicured rose garden. Above it all is the Royal Observatory, where you can be in two hemispheres at once by standing along the Greenwich Meridian Line, before seeing a high-tech planetarium show. Toward north Greenwich, the hopelessly ambitious Millennium Dome has been successfully reborn as the O2 and now hosts major concerts and stand-up comedy gigs. More adventurous visitors can also go Up the O2 on a climbing expedition across the massive domed surface. Meanwhile, those who prefer excursions of a gentler kind may prefer to journey a couple of miles south of the borough, farther out into London’s southern suburbs, to the shamefully underappreciated Eltham Palace. Once a favorite of Henry VIII, parts of the mansion were transformed into an art deco masterpiece during the 1930s.

With close to 220,000 inhabitants, Aberdeen is Scotland’s third most populous city. Locally quarried grey granite was used during the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries for many of Aberdeen’s buildings, and hence the nicknames it has earned as the Granite City, or the Grey City. Aberdeen granite was also used to build the terraces of the Houses of Parliament and Waterloo Bridge in London. Since the discovery of North Sea oil in the 1970s, Aberdeen has also been called the Oil Capital of Europe or the Energy Capital of Europe.

Itinerary
About 8 miles downstream—which means seaward, to the east—from central London, Greenwich is a small borough that looms large across the world. Once the seat of British naval power, it is not only home to the Old Royal Observatory, which measures time for our entire planet, but also the Greenwich Meridian, which divides the world into two—you can stand astride it with one foot in either hemisphere. Bear in mind that the journey to Greenwich is an event in itself. In a rush, you can take the driverless DLR train—but many opt for arriving by boat along the Thames. This way, you glide past famous sights on the London skyline (there’s a guaranteed spine chill on passing the Tower) and ever-changing docklands, and there’s usually a chirpy Cock-er-ney navigator enlivening the journey with his fun commentary. A visit to Greenwich feels like a trip to a rather elegant seaside town—albeit one with more than its fair share of historic sites. The grandiose Old Royal Naval Hospital, designed by Christopher Wren, was originally a home for veteran sailors. Today it’s a popular visitor attraction, with a more glamorous second life as one of the most widely used movie locations in Britain. Greenwich was originally home to one of England’s finest Tudor palaces, and the birthplace of Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, and Mary I. Inigo Jones built what is considered the first “classical” building in England in 1616—the Queen’s House, which now houses a collection of fine art. Britain was the world’s preeminent naval power for over 500 years, and the excellent National Maritime Museum> details that history in an engaging way. Its prize exhibits include the coat worn by Admiral Lord Nelson (1758–1805) in his final battle—bullet hole and all. The 19th-century tea clipper Cutty Sark was nearly destroyed by fire in 2007, but reopened in 2012 after a painstaking restoration. Now it’s more pristine than ever, complete with an impressive new visitor center. Greenwich Park, London’s oldest royal park, is still home to fallow red deer, just as it has been since they were first introduced here for hunting by Henry VIII. The Ranger’s House now houses a private art collection, next door to a beautifully manicured rose garden. Above it all is the Royal Observatory, where you can be in two hemispheres at once by standing along the Greenwich Meridian Line, before seeing a high-tech planetarium show. Toward north Greenwich, the hopelessly ambitious Millennium Dome has been successfully reborn as the O2 and now hosts major concerts and stand-up comedy gigs. More adventurous visitors can also go Up the O2 on a climbing expedition across the massive domed surface. Meanwhile, those who prefer excursions of a gentler kind may prefer to journey a couple of miles south of the borough, farther out into London’s southern suburbs, to the shamefully underappreciated Eltham Palace. Once a favorite of Henry VIII, parts of the mansion were transformed into an art deco masterpiece during the 1930s.
Day programme:
Welcome to London, a treasure trove of history, culture and innovation that offers a wealth of experiences at every turn. Prepare for legendary landmarks such as the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and St Paul’s Cathedral.Your voyage begins at Greenwich, renowned for its maritime history. As you board your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht, be warmly welcomed by the Captain and crew before meeting your butler and settling into your spacious suite.Scenic Eclipse II will remain docked in London overnight, so perhaps go ashore for a drink in a traditional English pub or stroll along the River Thames at dusk. Please book your flight to arrive into London prior to 02:00 PM.

Day programme:
Begin your day in one of the world's most captivating cities. Soak up local culture and global art at renowned museums and galleries such as the British Museum. Enjoy culinary delights at stylish restaurants and wander bustling markets. As the afternoon unfolds, Scenic Eclipse II will begin its journey down the River Thames. Stand on deck or retreat to your suite’s verandah to watch the city’s silhouette fade beneath a golden sunset as you sail towards the open sea.
Day programme:
Located just south of the Scottish border, Berwick-upon-Tweed is a town shaped by centuries of history. Once fiercely contested between England and Scotland, it still bears the marks of its past in well-preserved fortifications and historic buildings. Spend time exploring the town’s Elizabethan walls, walking along the River Tweed, or discovering the stories behind its distinctive bridges and coastal views. With its mix of English and Scottish influences, Berwick offers a quiet charm and a unique glimpse into Britain’s borderland heritage.
With close to 220,000 inhabitants, Aberdeen is Scotland’s third most populous city. Locally quarried grey granite was used during the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries for many of Aberdeen’s buildings, and hence the nicknames it has earned as the Granite City, or the Grey City. Aberdeen granite was also used to build the terraces of the Houses of Parliament and Waterloo Bridge in London. Since the discovery of North Sea oil in the 1970s, Aberdeen has also been called the Oil Capital of Europe or the Energy Capital of Europe. It is no wonder that because of the oil fields in the North Sea, Aberdeen’s seaport is very important. The Heliport with its flights to the oil fields is one of the busiest commercial heliports in the world.
Day programme:
Set neatly between the mountains and the sea on the east coast, Aberdeen is an ancient settlement dating back to the Stone Age. Today, it’s Scotland’s third-largest centre and has the nickname "Granite City," its shimmering silver buildings create a captivating contrast against the sea. Your Discovery Yacht will dock right in the heart of the city, where you can admire the architecturally distinctive harbour and see the sparkling granite buildings and monuments shimmering in the sunlight. Listen out for the warm tones of the Scottish dialect 'Doric', which is native to the area.
Founded by Dutch fishermen in the 17th century, Lerwick today is a busy town and administrative center. Handsome stone buildings—known as lodberries—line the harbor; they provided loading bays for goods, some of them illegal. The town’s twisting flagstone lanes and harbor once heaved with activity, and Lerwick is still an active port today. This is also where most visitors to Shetland dock, spilling out of cruise ships, allowing passengers to walk around the town.
Day programme:
The most northerly point of the British Isles, the Shetland Islands sit almost 200 kilometres off the north coast of mainland Scotland. Their sole town, Lerwick, has a charming waterfront lined with sandstone buildings dating back to the 18th century. Explore the ancient ruins of Jarlshof or visit the Shetland Museum to discover the island’s Viking past. Tonight, choose from up to 10 world-class dining experiences on board your Discovery Yacht. From our French cuisine at Lumière to dynamic Asian fusion at Koko’s, or simply dine in the comfort of your suite with a nightcap delivered by your butler.
Day programme:
Sail through Norway’s breathtaking Nordfjord, where towering mountains plunge dramatically into deep, glassy waters, creating magnificent waterfalls. The view will take your breath away. The town of Nordfjordeid is steeped in Viking history, once a crucial centre during the Viking Age. Marvel at the replica of the Myklebust Ship, one of the largest Viking longships ever discovered, and learn about Norway’s seafaring past.
The Geirangerfjord, which made the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005, is Norway’s most spectacular and perhaps best-known fjord. The 16-km-long (10-mile-long), 960-foot-deep Geirangerfjord’s most stunning attractions are its roaring waterfalls—the Seven Sisters, the Bridal Veil, and the Suitor. Perched on mountain ledges along the fjord, deserted farms at Skageflå and Knivsflå are being restored and maintained by local enthusiasts.The village of Geiranger, at the end of the fjord, is home to fewer than 300 year-round residents, but in spring and summer its population swells to 5,000 due to visitors traveling from Hellesylt to the east. In winter, snow on the mountain roads often makes the village isolated.
Day programme:
Sail into the awe-inspiring Geirangerfjord as the morning light reveals dramatic cliffs, shimmering emerald waters and a charming village nestled along the shore. Spend the day immersed in Norway’s pristine beauty before your voyage continues. As evening falls, marvel at the captivating Seven Sisters Waterfall, its delicate streams tumbling down the mountainside. At the heart of the World Heritage-listed Geirangerfjord, Geiranger serves as a gateway to some of Norway’s most breathtaking landscapes. Framed by towering peaks and cascading waterfalls, this picturesque village invites exploration, from the sweeping vistas of Dalsnibba to the winding curves of the legendary Eagle Road.

A picturesque coastal town on Norway’s west coast, Måløy is a gateway to some of the region’s most dramatic landscapes. Discover rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, and a deep-rooted maritime history. Take a scenic drive to the Kannesteinen Rock, an extraordinary stone formation sculpted by the waves over thousands of years or explore the lighthouses that stand sentinel along the coastline. Enjoy a leisurely evening aboard your Discovery Yacht or perhaps unwinding in the tranquil Senses Spa# or sipping fine whiskey in the elegant Scenic Lounge Bar.
Day programme:
One of Norway’s most popular destinations, the picturesque village of Flam is where you can take one of the world’s most spectacular railway journeys. The 20km Flam Railway offers stunning views of the valley as it winds through steep mountains towards the village of Flam. For even more incredible views take to the skies in one of the on-board helicopters^. Take in the views along Sognefjord, the largest fjord in Norway, from Scenic Eclipse’s Observation Lounge. Known as the ‘King of the Fjords’, at its deepest, Sognefjord plunges more than 1,300 metres below you as glide between steep mountains on either side.
Surrounded by mountains and sparkling fjords, the waterside city of Bergen has a spectacular setting. There has been a settlement here since medieval times and the colourful waterfront buildings of the Hanseatic wharf, known as Bryggen, are testament to its fascinating history of trade. As Norway’s best known medieval settlement, the Bryggen is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Our comprehensive selection of excursions allows you to discover the many sides of Bergen, such as the fish market and narrow cobbled streets, as well as stunning views of the city from the summit of Mt Fløyen. Alternatively, those who have visited the city previously may like to experience one of the tours that travel further afield. Just 300 yards from the main piers, you will find the Fortress Museum (Fesningsmuseum), which has an interesting collection of objects related to World War II.
Day programme:
Your journey concludes in Bergen, Norway’s World Heritage-listed coastal city, where colourful wooden houses line the historic waterfront of Bryggen, once a key trading post of the Hanseatic League. Savour one last delicious breakfast on your Discovery Yacht before saying farewell to the crew who have shared this once-in-a-lifetime journey with you.
