“ I started as a Product Delivery Manager looking after everything outside of Europe and Canada . There was an expansion within Europe & Asia River Cruising in my time , but where the company really evolved was in the ultra-luxury yacht cruising market ,” says Jordan .
The luxurious Emerald Yachts operate in the Caribbean and Mediterranean , taking up to 100 guests . Launched in 2019 and 2023 and with only up to 228 guests ( or 200 in Antarctica ), Scenic Eclipse I and II set the benchmark in truly all-inclusive ultra-luxury cruising . Travelling in Cruise , Discovery or Expedition mode , guests can visit from the Arctic to Antarctica ; the Mediterranean and Northern Europe to Asia , Oceania , South Pacific and the Americas . These are truly once-in-a-lifetime journeys . Of course , all of this luxury comes with sustainability challenges .
“ Our Cherish the Planet manifesto outlines everything we ’ re doing and is based on UN Sustainable Development Goals ,” explains Jordan .
“ We focus on six pillars – reducing our waste , addressing our CO2 emissions , sourcing sustainably , growing with communities , valuing diversity , and advocating health , safety , and security .”
“ As a proud member of IAATO ( International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators ) and AECO ( Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators ), Scenic is committed to responsible and sustainable tourism in the Antarctic and Arctic regions . This means we adhere to strict guidelines , prioritise environmental protection , respect local cultures , and ensure safety while actively contributing to scientific research and awareness .” sustainabilitymag . com 75
