Scenic Ikon is scheduled to launch in April 2028.

Designed with the sophisticated profile of a modern superyacht, Scenic Ikon provides an ultra-luxury, all-suite sanctuary for your polar voyage. Guests are offered the extraordinary opportunity to explore remote landscapes from both the sky and the sea, utilizing the ship's state-of-the-art eight-seater submersible and twin Airbus helicopters. Onboard, an unparalleled collection of 15 distinct dining venues caters to every culinary desire, alongside an expansive, two-story spa that is perfect for unwinding between your daily excursions.

Why we like this ship

  • Ultra-luxury Suites: The palatial suites range from the deluxe verandah at 366 ft² (34 m²) to the vast 2691 ft² (250 m²) Penthouse Suite, all with their own private balcony
  • Onboard health and wellness facilities including a spacious two-level spa with separate male and female sanctuaries, an alfresco Vitality Terrace, a dedicated yoga/pilates studio, and a well-equipped gym
  • Up to 15 dining experiences including exclusive new venues like the plant-based Alkemia and Spanish-fusion Textura alongside an array of premium bars and lounges
  • Your personalised butler service ensures every need is catered to, right down to your fully stocked in-suite Butler Bar
  • The open bridge allows you to see the experienced Captain and team at work
  • A wide range of activities to experience your destination from every angle, including kayaking, paddleboarding, flightseeing in one of two onboard Airbus helicopters (additional cost), and an underwater immersion by a next-generation 8-seater submersible (additional cost)

We think it's worth noting...

  • The ship is styled in an atmospheric, sleek and modern colour scheme, which may not be to everyone’s taste
  • Evening entertainment is fairly light-touch, focusing more on bespoke theatre shows and enrichment lectures (however, this is in keeping with most luxury expedition ships)
