To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in the same year as the company’s 40th anniversary, Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours is inviting guests to experience America’s story from a unique perspective: by sea. 

Chairman’s Voyage: America’s 250th Anniversary Cruise 

Departing in October 2026, Scenic Eclipse’s exclusive Chairman’s Voyage: America’s 250th Anniversary Cruise will trace the nation’s eastern coastline, calling on destinations that played pivotal roles in shaping the United States. From the bright lights and enduring symbolism of New York City to the historic waterfronts of Baltimore, Yorktown, Wilmington, Charleston, Miami, and Key West, the voyage offers a fascinating journey through the places, people, and events that helped define the nation. 

The specially curated sailing will be hosted by Scenic Group Founder and Chairman, Glen Moroney, and will give guests the rare opportunity to travel alongside the visionary entrepreneur who transformed Scenic into one of the world’s leading ultra-luxury travel companies. 

Unlike traditional anniversary celebrations focused on a single city or event, this voyage connects guests to multiple chapters of America’s history. Explore destinations linked to the Revolutionary War, the birth of American independence, maritime heritage, and the cultural traditions that continue to shape the nation today. Ports such as Yorktown, where the decisive battle of the American Revolution took place and Charleston, one of America’s most storied cities, provide a deeper appreciation for the country’s remarkable journey over the past two and a half centuries. 

While the destinations tell the story of America, Scenic Eclipse elevates the experience through its signature blend of discovery and ultra-luxury. Guests will enjoy spacious all-verandah suites, personalized butler service, world-class dining, wellness experiences, and the attentive service that has become synonymous with the Scenic brand.
