We’re all about boosting our Canadian profile to the world – and who better than the award-winning artist Jann Arden to lead the way. For the sixth time, Arden is collaborating with Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours to sail the Mediterranean onboard the state-of-the-art Scenic Eclipse II. “I’m very excited to be sailing on the amazing Scenic Eclipse II ultra-luxury yacht departing May 15th, 2026, from Barcelona,Spain, to Nice, France. We will be visiting iconic ports in the French Riviera and Portofino. This all inclusive [itinerary] will leave you speechless,” she says.

According to the cruise line, this 7-day Mediterranean voyage promises a unique blend of artistry and discovery while celebrating world-class talent, immersive travel experiences and elevated exploration. The journey starts with an exclusive cocktail reception – a perfect chance for guests to connect and get to know one another before the journey begins. A private concert given by the star herself, along with her band, will be the cherry on top of seven days of sailing the French and Italian Rivieras. Jann Arden will host an interactive Q & A, a meet-and-greet and a photo-op. And with only 228 guests on board, the experiences promise to be informal yet intimate.
And what could be more chic than a cruise that coincides with the Cannes Film Festival? The stars come out for one of the world’s most prestigious celebrations of film, the harbour will be dotted with spectacular yachts and the nightlife will be in full swing. On a more relaxing note, guests can take a dip in the waters off Pampelonne Beach, or stay out late and enjoy live music, authentic Mediterranean French cuisine and more at glamorous St. Tropez – where the Scenic Eclipse II will dock overnight.
Portofino and Santa Margherita are also ports of call, and a chance to experience Ligurian hospitality and charming its coastal lifestyle.
On a personal note, Jann Arden says she cares deeply about the world and sustainable travel. Scenic’s efforts to minimize the impact on the environments it sails in and its ethos to Cherish the Planet is something, she adds, “that I will always get behind.” According to the cruise line, Scenic Eclipse is one of the most technologically advanced ships sailing any ocean. “From wastewater treatment to the kind of fuel consumed, to a GPS dynamic positioning system so no need to drop anchor, and sourcing locally, nothing is overlooked,” says Arden.

The ship’s suites all feature ocean views and private verandahs and personal butler service, but with Jann Arden on board, you’ll want to spend as much time out and around the ship. Fabulous dining and cocktail options, a spa, yoga studio and vitality pools to soak in, are a few of Scenic Eclipse II’s treats.
“I’m proud to partner with Scenic each and every journey we embark on together,” says Arden. “Hope to see you there!”
