Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Tuesday - Jul 9, 2024
Darwin, Australia
Darwin, Australia    
Your voyage of discovery begins in Darwin. Sitting at the crossroads of Australia, Asia, and the Pacific Islands, this tropical capital is rich in history, culture, and natural wonders. Welcome aboard. Settle into your spacious suite onboard Scenic Eclipse II. Your butler will assist with unpacking and guide you through the pillow menu. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the ultra-luxury amenities that include eight bars and lounges, up to ten dining experiences from casual to fine dining, the expansive Senses Spa, and the state-of-the-art theater, just to name a few. Explore each deck of Scenic Eclipse II and visit the open bridge, where your captain and navigational crew will welcome you in the operational center throughout your voyage. Toast the beginning of your journey with a glass of champagne in the Scenic Lounge Bar or with a cocktail at the open-air Sky Bar on Deck 10.

Day 2 - Wednesday - Jul 10, 2024
Koolama Bay, Australia    
At 112 kilometers long and 100 meters wide, the thundering King George River Falls is an unforgettable experience. The highest twin waterfalls in Western Australia, it is accessible only by water or air. With her sleek, yacht-shaped design, Scenic Eclipse II was custom-built to access such remote locations. Make your way along the river's tranquil waters, through towering gorges - home to Brahminy kites, egrets, and kingfishers.
Day 3 - Thursday - Jul 11, 2024
Vansittart Bay, Australia    
After an overnight journey onboard your luxurious Discovery Yacht, you'll stop at the sheltered and secluded Vansittart Bay, a place of significant indigenous cultural history. Fitted with state-of-the-art GPS Dynamic Positioning system, Scenic Eclipse II will be held in position close to Jar Island in the bay's southwest pocket, negating the need to drop anchor on ecologically sensitive seabeds.
Day 4 - Friday - Jul 12, 2024
Cruising Ashmore Reef, Australia    
The morning is yours to enjoy as you wish. Book a Senses Spa treatment, a Yoga or Pilates session, plunge into the Vitality Pool, or simply relax and indulge in 6-star ultra-luxury onboard Scenic Eclipse II. After the day's exploration of Australia's most remote marine parks, Ashmore Reef, settle in at one of the eight bars and lounges to enjoy a beverage of choice. Indulge in over 100 varieties of aged whiskey at the Scenic Lounge Bar.

Prince Frederick Harbour, Australia, Australia
Prince Frederick Harbour, Australia, Australia    
Cruising Hunter River, Australia    
Careening Bay, Australia    
Today, Scenic Eclipse II glides through York Sound to the mouth of the Hunter River. A true wilderness with jaw-dropping panoramas of wild escarpments, monsoon rainforests, and the four-tiered Mitchell Falls, carved out over millennia. Watch nature's magnificent show as the sun sets, cocktail in hand. Tides and timings permitting, a stop at Careening Bay in the Prince Regent National Park is where you may view the famous Mermaid Tree, an enormous bifurcated boab on which the ship's crew of the HMC Mermaid carved the name of the ship and year, 1820.
Day 7 - Monday - Jul 15, 2024
Cruising Montgomery Reef, Australia    
Freshwater Cove, Australia    
Wake to a completely new vista at Montgomery Reef, the world's largest inshore reef that boasts some of the Earth's biggest tidal changes reaching up to 10 meters (33 feet). As the tides rise or fall, both soft and hard coral are exposed, falling below sea level to create a remarkable spectacle. Go ashore at Freshwater Cove located on Worrorra country and meet with traditional Dambimangari guides of the Arraluli clan and be immersed into the importance of their culture. Hear about the Traditional Owners and the story of how the Wijingarra, or native spotted quoll, came into being and how the area's freshwater was created.
Day 8 - Tuesday - Jul 16, 2024
Horizontal Waterfalls, Australia    
Sir David Attenborough named the Horizontal Falls at Talbot Bay "one of the greatest natural wonders of the world". Created by a unique combination of geology and massive tidal surges squeezed through two narrow cliff passages, this is the only place in the world where horizontal falls exist. After a full day exploring this fascinating region, relax in the Vitality Pool located on the Sky Deck, and gaze out across the breathtaking panoramic views.
Day 9 - Wednesday - Jul 17, 2024
George Water, Australia
George Water, Australia    
Sunday Island, Australia    
Koolan Island and Cockatoo Island are known as the Iron Islands; for enthusiasts of geology and geography they are of significant interest. Over thousands of years, powerful tides have forged rugged cliffs of deep orange ochre. Over lunch onboard, we sail to remote and beautiful Oolin / Sunday Island, once home to the Jawi tribe that lived on the mission that was established in 1899. We meet local Jawi woman, Rosanna Angus, whose family lived on Sunday Island in the early days of the mission.
Day 10 - Thursday - Jul 18, 2024
Lacepede Islands, Australia, Australia    
Today, we'll visit a chain of four flat coral islands where tens of thousands of seabirds thrive, including over 50 bird species like frigate birds, crested terns, pelicans, and speckled ruddy turnstones. As this is your last evening onboard, gather with new friends in one of the eight bars and lounges, sharing stories and photos of your wonderful journey of discovery.
Day 11 - Friday - Jul 19, 2024
Broome, Australia
Broome, Australia    
Your Discovery Voyage concludes today. Enjoy your final morning and take the chance to reflect on the rare and incredible experiences and the remarkable places you've visited, some of which very few have been to before. Bid farewell to your friendly crew and new friends as you disembark in Broome. Please book your flight to depart out of Broome after 10 AM.; Note: The waterways of the Kimberly region are part of a tidal river system which results in changing water levels in the region.
