Day 2
Busselton, Australia
Busselton is a vibrant city on the beach that's been a timeless holiday destination for generations of West Australian families. The gateway to the world-famous Margaret River wine region, Geographe Bay has some of the most beautiful calm bays of azure waters, perfect for stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, and there's an underwater experience where you can be eye to eye with marine life without getting wet. At the end of the heritage-listed 1.8-kilometer-long wooden jetty, the longest in the southern hemisphere, is an underwater observatory that spirals beneath the ocean to the sea floor. Its large windows look out to colorful coral and barnacles attached to the jetty pylons with marine life weaving between. From May to December, spot the spouts of water out in the ocean as tens of thousands of whales pass by on their annual migration. Busselton's foreshore is abuzz with locals walking and jogging, families playing in the pirate park, tourists marveling at the jetty and Geographe Bay, and beer lovers enjoying a locally brewed craft beer.

Day 3
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. ... Read More

Day 4
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.

There's a guest-to-staff ratio 1:1 and state-of-the-art technology fitted on the vessel. The only detail for you to consider is choosing from over 100 varieties of aged whiskey at the Scenic Lounge Bar in which to indulge in. ... Read More

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. ... Read More

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. ... Read More

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. Back onboard, cocktail in hand, sit back and watch Mother Nature's free nightly show, another magnificent West Coast sunset. As the sky transitions to pastel hues before finally dark, enjoy stargazing under the sparkling stars. Take a closer look with the onboard Swarovski Telescopes available in the Observation Lounge. ... Read More
