I can't think of a helicopter that I have flown where you could exceed Vne in the cruise without pulling higher than max continuous power.
In an S76A++, at or above 3000 ft on anything but a very hot day, the first limit you will reach is Vne. We calculate Vne before leveling off, because you can easily exceed it with 80% torque set, unless you're very near MGW, and it's possible even then.
