Rowley Shoals, Australia

Nestled in the crystalline waters of the Indian Ocean, the little-known Rowley Shoals is an unforgettable aquatic experience. Explore the Rowley Shoals and Mermaid Reef Marine Parks, a chain of three protected coral atolls with over 200 species of stunning coral formations in every imaginable color. Regarded as the best example in Australian waters of atolls on the edge of a continental shelf, it covers 540 square kilometers, with depths from less than 15 meters to 500 meters. Scenic Eclipse will stop here, using her advanced state-of-the-art GPS Dynamic Positioning that allows her to station without dropping anchor onto the sensitive coral seabeds. From the Scenic Eclipse II Marine Deck, explore with a kayak or stand-up paddleboard, or snorkel and swim in the shallow lagoons atop the softly swaying coral gardens. Tropical fish, sea turtles, and dolphins are just some of the abundant marine life to adorn the area. With its remote location and protected status, Rowley Shoals provide a tranquil respite and a chance to be fully immersed in the serene majesty of the underwater world. You may also be able to soar above for a bird's-eye view of the atolls in one of the two onboard helicopters. A journey to Rowley Shoals promises to be a transformative experience, one that will remain indelibly etched in your memory. ...

At Sea

This morning, you can do as much or as little as you want. Perhaps soak in the comforts of your luxuriously appointed suite, which cocoons you with the comforts of a 6-star hotel. Ask your butler to bring breakfast to your suite, where you can enjoy it on the verandah as the clear blue waters slip by outside. Or take some time to explore your Discovery Yacht. Visit the Sky Bar and outdoor Vitality Pool on Deck 10, where you can bask in the tropical sun as the world slip by from the comfort of a private cabana. Step into the tranquil Senses Spa on Deck 6 equipped with steam rooms, saunas, plunge pool, and KLAFS Salt Therapy Lounge. Stop for a coffee or a cocktail at one of the nine bars and lounges onboard. Curl up with a good book in the library of the Observation Lounge or take one with you and find the hanging egg chairs on Deck 7.

Montebello Islands, Australia, Australia

The 265 low-lying islands and islets of the Montebello Islands form a conservation park and the waters surrounding the islands are a protected marine park.

There are fringing reefs, sandy beaches, sheltered coves, isolated mangrove stands, and abundance of marine life including turtles, dolphins, and dugongs, 450 species of fish, and over 1,000 species of invertebrates. Choose from the many interesting snorkeling locations that include coral reefs and underwater gardens teeming with marine life of all sizes, colors, and patterns. Swim or snorkel to see what lies beneath or take a kayak or stand-up paddleboard for exploration above water. With the Discovery Team, Scenic Eclipse II's team of experts, learn about the explosive history of the area. The islands rose to notoriety when the British military carried out atomic weapons tests in 1952 and 1956, something that may be difficult to comprehend given the serene surrounds. During the day, take the feelings of bliss to a new level after an indulgent pampering treatment in the expansive 550-square-meter Senses Spa and emerge feeling renewed. ...

After an overnight stay in Exmouth, wake slowly and enjoy the morning views on the verandah of your spacious suite over a barista-made coffee brought by your butler.

Denham, Australia

Once a romantic pearl fishing town, Denham has slowly transformed, attracting visitors with its unique aquatic and coastal experiences and stunning scenery. Shark Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed area, is renowned for its exotic flora and fauna, and is home to 10 percent of the world's elusive dugong population. It is also a significant historical site, where the first Europeans landed on the Western Australian mainland. You may see emus strolling, kangaroos grazing, and dolphins jumping. Shell Beach is a natural marvel, an ethereal expanse of tiny white shells in place of sand on its beach. The Hamelin Pool Stromatolites, situated in the Shark Bay, are one of the oldest living organisms on earth, with a history dating back over 3,000 years. At nearby Monkey Mia, playful and inquisitive dolphins frequent the shallows close to shore.

Dirk Hartog Island, Australia

Inscription Point on Dirk Hartog Island is the site of the first evidenced European landing on Australian soil that took place in 1616. Dirk Hartog Island is Western Australia's largest island, and one of the world's most important islands for mammal conservation. It is Australia's most successful restoration projects. Since the early 2000s it has removed sheep, goats, and feral cats from the island and is slowly reintroducing the native mammal species that once occupied the area. You may spot the western grey kangaroos, wallabies, and bandicoots. It also has several endemic plant species found nowhere else in the world including the Dirk Hartog Island wattles. Beneath the waterline, see vibrant corals and marine life while swimming and snorkeling. The island's seagrass meadows are some of the largest and most diverse in the world, essential to the survival of dugongs, affectionately known as 'sea cows'. Pristine white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters and rugged cliffs can be viewed from one of the many vantage points on Scenic Eclipse II. Indulge in 6-star ultra-luxury with up to ten dining experiences and nine bars & lounges onboard Scenic Eclipse II, all part of our truly all-inclusive philosophy. ...

Abrolhos Islands, Australia

The Wallabi Group is the northern-most group of islands in the Houtman Abrolhos, more commonly referred to as the Abrolhos Islands. The islands are best known for one of the most famous 'Age of Discovery' wreck and rescue stories in global maritime history, the shipwreck of the Batavia in 1629. Often described as the Galapagos Islands of the Indian Ocean, there are few places in Australia with more biodiversity than these islands. It's one of the world's most important seabird breeding sites and it's the center of Western Australia's largest single-species fishery, the western rock lobster fishery. This is a truly special destination that few can visit. Soar above in one of two onboard helicopters for an aerial perspective of the islands and the incredible waters that surround them. It's a mesmerizing place that includes diverse wildlife and marine experiences. Keep your eyes open for the mischievous Australian sea lions, the star inhabitants of the area. At day's end, continue the typically West Australian 'sundowner' tradition with fellow guests ahead of a delectable meal in one of ten dining experiences onboard. ...

Geraldton, Australia

Home to the Yamatji and Wajarri people, Geraldton has a long history that dates back thousands of years. In 1629, a shipwreck, subsequent mutiny, and rescue become a legendary part of Australian folklore. The Batavian coastline, that draws its name from the shipwreck, is widely regarded as one of the most scenic coastlines in Western Australia. Geraldton is a cosmopolitan and diverse seaside town and has a plethora of waterfront shops, cafes, and museums to explore. As you relax on Deck 10, marvel at the rust-colored rugged coastal cliffs that meet the deep blue ocean.

Jurien Bay, Australia

Wildflower meadows ablaze with color, ancient and enchanting rock formations, and sweeping stretches of powder-white sand are just a few of Jurien Bay's attractions. Jurien Bay is a laid-back coastal town known for its excellent fishing and playful sea lions. Australian sea lion colonies can only be found on islands off the coast of Western Australia and South Australia, which makes them one of Jurien Bay's main drawcards. Sea lions love fish, which is another other drawcard to the region. South of Jurien Bay discover the Pinnacles, formed over millions of years, thousands of soaring limestone spires, reaching skywards from the yellow desert sands. The unique lunar-like landscape is at its best at sunrise or sunset when the many spire shadows are long, which feels like you're standing in a twilight universe on another planet. Photographers fill many memory cards here. With the salty coastal air filling your lungs, fish and chips or a seafood feast may be on the menu in one of ten dining experiences onboard ranging from casual to fine dining. Enjoy an aperitif before the Scenic Eclipse II world-class culinary team prepares another remarkable dining experience. ...
