Designed specifically for the cruise and hospitality sector, the latest Triton Submarines creation, the Triton 660 9 AVA, employs a revolutionary Advanced Versatile Acrylics (AVA) methodology to build the first submersible on the planet with a free-form acrylic pressure hull. The submersible, capable of a maximum depth of 660 feet, has enough space to seat nine occupants (one pilot and eight guests), and the acrylic pressure hull offers panoramic views to keep guests spellbound while comfortably seated.
If you've been on the fence about taking a luxury cruise, here's another compelling reason to start planning for one. Through a technical partnership with ultra-luxury cruise operator Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tour, the Triton 660 9 AVA has been integrated into the Scenic Eclipse II yacht.

The Scenic Eclipse II is already an impressive ultra-luxury discovery yacht with top-of-the-line features and world-class service to keep guests happy throughout the duration of their cruise. The features on the yacht's ten beautifully designed decks include opulent suites, bars, lounges, a vitality pool, and a collection of wellness facilities. The addition of the Triton 660 9 AVA takes this marvelous yacht to a new level.
Now is the time to wave goodbye to the usual luxury cruise holiday and embrace something new and exciting with this unique partnership between Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tour and Triton Submarines. Compared to twin-hulled tourist submersibles, guests on the 660 9 AVA will enjoy triple the interior viewing volume and awe-inspiring panoramic views.
The Triton 660 9 AVA's versatility makes it possible to reconfigure the interior to suit different premium dive activities, including subsea gaming experiences, dining or cocktail dives, and even spa treatments. This allows the cruise yachts integrating the submersible to offer their customers a variety of bespoke experiences with relatively minimal effort.

Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, synonymous with leading-edge luxury travel, welcomed the Triton submersible 660 9 AVA onboard its ultra-luxury Discovery Yachting experience shortly following its launch. This further validates Scenic's ever-growing commitment to giving consumers access to the ocean's wonders.

Those who want to explore the new ocean exploration experience offered by Scenic Eclipse II and Triton 660 9 AVA should note that the submersible is available on the Scenic Eclipse II's current Oceania region cruise.
Triton's commitment to safety is evident in its integration of internationally recognized third-party classification organizations, such as the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Det Norske Veritas (DNV), in the inspection of the submersibles before deployment.
The delivery of the Triton 660 9 AVA opens the door to undersea exploration like never before for Scenic Eclipse II guests.
