Portlanders, last weekend, got a glimpse into the future of tourism this side of the island when the ultra-luxurious world famous mega yacht Scenic Eclipse docked at the Ken Wright Cruise Ship Pier.

The much heralded deluxe all-inclusive Australian-owned cruise liner was finally commissioned in August of this year, setting sail to several popular tourist destinations around the world.

Of course the beautiful island of Jamaica is a must – even though its primary globetrotting expeditions place special emphasis on polar cruising – with all 55 passengers and 185 crew on board getting a taste of Portland Saturday morning before docking at Montego Bay, the island’s second of two cities and tourism mecca.

Scenic Eclipse is an all-suite 228-passenger cruise ship that carries notable features such as two Airbus H130 helipads, a fleet of zodiacs or large capacity inflatable boats, e-bikes, kayaks and a submarine, capable of carrying a maximum of seven persons, among others.

With Jamaica’s ever-expanding tourism market eclipsing their target every year, the visit of the Scenic Eclipse is sure to make Brand Jamaica soar even higher.

Special thanks to Delano Seiveright, senior advisor and strategist at the Ministry of Tourism, for the images.
