Scenic Eclipse Surpasses Expectations During Sea Trials

“It was a real pleasure to take Scenic Eclipse out to sea for the first
time,” stated Captain James Griffiths, Scenic Luxury Cruises &
Tours. “Sea trials are a critical milestone in the construction process
as it is the first time all the ship systems are operated together and
is a key opportunity to confirm the theoretical information from the
tank tests and computer modelling. The results from these trials
surpassed every expectation."
Captain Griffiths added, “I have worked extensively with Azipods on other ships like Scenic Eclipse’s,
and these sea trials confirmed to me how incredibly versatile and
powerful they are, particularly when coupled with our oversized Bow
Thrusters. I was also delighted with how quiet the ship is. She was
vibration free and virtually silent during all our trials, exceeding our
expectations in terms of stability, maneuverability and performance. Scenic Eclipse
really does manage to combine small ship maneuverability with big ship
levels of comfort and quietness; it’s quite remarkable to experience
it.”
With sea trials complete, Scenic Eclipse
will now undergo the final touches to its interior and exterior and the
final training of the onboard teams before the official launch and
commencement of schedule of sailings.
