VANCOUVER — Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours has announced a special 2026 sailing featuring celebrated Canadian singer and author Jann Arden, marking her sixth collaboration with the line.
Set to depart from Barcelona on May 15, 2026, the seven-day Mediterranean itinerary aboard the Scenic Eclipse II will combine ultra-luxury travel with exclusive entertainment and immersive cultural experiences along the French and Italian Rivieras.
Following a private welcome cocktail reception, guests will enjoy stops at Pampelonne Beach, a serene stretch of coastline near Saint-Tropez, followed by an overnight dock in the iconic port town itself. The timing of the sailing coincides with the Cannes Film Festival, offering a unique opportunity to experience the cinematic glamour of the French Riviera at its most vibrant. From there, the journey continues to the Italian coast, with visits to Portofino and Santa Margherita. Guests can expect to explore cobblestone streets, dine on freshly caught seafood and shop at upscale boutiques, all while surrounded by the timeless beauty of Ligurian seaside towns.
Throughout the journey, Arden will perform private concerts with her band and host an interactive Q&A session, personal meet-and-greet and photo opportunity.
Said Arden: “I’m very excited to, once again, be sailing on the amazing Scenic Eclipse luxury yacht. We will be visiting ports in the French Riviera and Portofino. This all-inclusive, exquisite meal and food package will leave you speechless!”
Arden also praised the ship itself, known for its technological and sustainable advancements.
“I care deeply about the world and sustainable travel. Scenic’s efforts to minimize the impact on the environments they sail in and their ethos to ‘Cherish the Planet’ is something that I will always get behind. From advanced wastewater treatment to the kind of fuel they consume, to a GPS dynamic positioning system so they don’t need to drop anchor, and sourcing locally – nothing is overlooked.”
Known as one of ‘The World’s First Discovery Yachts,’ Scenic Eclipse II offers guests oceanview verandah suites that include personal butler service, complimentary fine wines and premium spirits, world-class dining options, a spa, yoga studio and vitality pools. A maximum of 228 guests can sail aboard, offering an intimate experience.
Pricing for the seven-day Mediterranean voyage starts at $8,945 per person; reduced single supplements are available.
