Itinerary

1. 1

   Benoa, Bali, Indonesia

   Welcome to Bali, the Island of the Gods. One of 18,000 islands that make up the country of Indonesia, Bali is spectacularly beautiful, culturally diverse and brimming with luxury. Scenic Eclipse II will be waiting for you in Benoa, a peninsula on the southern edge of the island.
   
   Board your Scenic Discovery Yacht this afternoon and be warmly greeted by the crew, shown to your spacious ultra-luxury suite and meet your butler. Join fellow guests on the Sky Deck for a glass of Champagne to toast the start of an incredible journey.

   Please book your flight to arrive into Denpasar prior to 02:00 PM.

2. 2

   Moyo Island > Satonda Island, Indonesia

   Remote, authentic, and wonderfully raw, Moyo Island remains one of Indonesia’s best-kept secrets. Largely untouched by tourism, its lush flora and diverse wildlife reveal a world of untamed beauty, whilst tranquil waters and vibrant coral gardens near the shore offer exceptional snorkelling among colourful reef fish.
   
   Set off in the afternoon for the nearby Satonda Island, a small ring-shaped island with a lake in the centre. The island is believed to be an ancient volcano that rose from the depths of the ocean and even today Satonda is shrouded in local myth and mystery. The water here is clear and calm, making for exceptional swimming, snorkelling and diving.
   
   Check the Daily Wonder for Discovery Team lectures in the state-of-the-art theatre, where leading experts share rich insights into the wildlife, landscapes and culture of the region.

3. 3

   Komodo Island > Pink Beach, Komodo National Park, Indonesia

   Set against a strikingly rugged landscape, Komodo National Park offers an extraordinary backdrop for exploration, with some of Indonesia’s most remarkable sites for diving and snorkelling. Your morning is dedicated to Komodo Island itself, where the chance to encounter the iconic Komodo dragon – the world’s largest living lizard – brings a powerful sense of raw wilderness found nowhere else on Earth.
   
   In the afternoon, your Scenic Discovery Yacht repositions to Pink Beach, where rose-tinted sands, vivid waters and thriving coral gardens create an idyllic setting for time in and on the water. Here, you can swim, snorkel or simply relax on the shore, framed by dramatic headlands and the park’s sweeping volcanic contours.

4. 4

   Selayar Island, Indonesia

   Selayar Island, the gateway to Taka Bonerate National Park, is a paradise of coral reefs, calm waters, pale sand beaches, and lush coconut groves. The island offers excellent opportunities for water sports, including snorkelling and kayaking. Its interior features rolling hills, forests, and traditional villages where local customs and crafts are preserved.
   
   With up to 10 culinary experiences on board, this evening you might savour contemporary French cuisine and Champagne at Lumière+, enjoy Italian classics, steak and seafood at Elements, or embrace Asian-inspired flavours at Koko’s Asian Fusion, home to the Sushi & Saké Bar and intimate Night Market+ experience. Alternatively, dine in the privacy of your suite with the comprehensive 24-hour in-suite dining menu.

5. 5

   Taka Bonerate National Park, Indonesia

   Stretching into the Flores Sea, south of Sulawesi, the Taka Bonerate National Park covers more than half a million hectares and includes an atoll of 28 islands, the third largest coral atoll in the world. In 2015 it was recognised as a World Heritage-listed Biosphere Reserve for its incredible variety of marine life including fish, turtles, dolphins, whales and birds. Be sure to bring your in-suite binoculars or head to the Observation Terrace to view it through the Swarovski telescopes.
   
   In this remote outpost, the Captain will find a calm spot to stop for swimming, snorkelling and other water sports including diving below the surface with a Seabob.
   
   Back on board, this evening enjoy entertainment in the state-of-the-art theatre, then unwind with a nightcap at the Scenic Lounge Bar, home to an extensive collection of over 100 whiskey varieties.

6. 6

   Wakatobi National Park, Indonesia

   Wakatobi National Park, in Southeast Sulawesi, is a true marine paradise, composed of four islands surrounded by vibrant coral reefs. Part of the Coral Triangle, the park is home to over 750 species of coral and 900 species of fish, making it one of the world’s most biodiverse underwater environments. Above the water, traditional stilt villages offer a glimpse into island life, where local customs and daily rhythms remain largely unchanged. As a protected area, Wakatobi’s impressive waters and colourful reefs make it a haven for nature lovers and marine explorers alike.
   
   Unwind in the Vitality pool, relax in a shaded oceanfront cabana, or enjoy quiet time in your suite. This evening, choose to dine privately with butler service, revisit a favourite restaurant with newfound friends.

7. 7

   Alor Island, Indonesia

   After crossing the Banda Sea, Scenic Eclipse II will arrive at Alor Island, the easternmost and largest of the 20 islands in the Alor archipelago. With its rugged volcanic landscape, Alor is dotted with traditional villages that boast distinctive architecture and vibrant, well-preserved customs.
   
   Home to several unique Indigenous tribes, Alor remains a place where people continue to live much as they have for thousands of years. This morning, take a step back in time as you visit a local village, where you can admire the remarkable architecture and experience the enduring traditions that have shaped the island’s culture.
   
   Upon returning on board, maintain your wellness routine with a complimentary class in the PURE: Yoga & Pilates Studio, a session in the gym, or a rejuvenating visit to the Senses Spa.

   Scenic Discovery:
   Weather and local approvals permitting, there may be an opportunity today to head to the marina and enjoy a range of water-based activities, including snorkelling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding or exploring beneath the surface with a Seabob.

8. 8

   Larantuka, Flores Island, Indonesia

   Flores Island is fast becoming one of Indonesia’s most popular destinations. It was founded by the Portuguese in the 15th-century and spent many years as the trade and administrative centre of the region.
   
   Your Scenic Discovery Yacht will be docked in the centre of the city. Wander the streets at your leisure and soak in its cool maritime flavour. Witness the Portuguese connection and rich Catholic history in the buildings that surround you. Admire the famous Katedral Reinha Rosari, known as the Church of Iron and resembling an ornate Disney castle.
   
   Enjoy the flexibility of 24-hour in-suite dining, with your butler arranging everything from a relaxed breakfast to a refined dinner served in the privacy of your spacious suite, complemented by a restocked mini-bar.

9. 9

   Ende, Flores Island, Indonesia

   Arrive this morning in Ende, one of Flores Island’s largest towns, set on a peninsula edged with distinctive black-sand beaches and backed by steep hills. From here, the nearby Kelimutu National Park beckons, with Mount Kelimutu’s three striking crater lakes and surrounding forested slopes that are home to endemic birdlife, including the Floresian eagle, Timorese tesia, and Wallacea owl.

10. 10

    Tablolong Bay (Kupang), Indonesia

    Tablolong Bay, at the southern tip of Timor Island, is a peaceful and largely undiscovered destination. Fringed by sandy shores and gentle coastal slopes, the bay is edged by colourful coral gardens teeming with tropical fish. The waters here are home to vibrant reefs and a variety of marine life, giving the impression of swimming in a massive, colourful aquarium. Its serene atmosphere and scenic surroundings make it a truly captivating stop on this journey.
    
    Later, curl up in a cabana on Deck 10 with a drink whilst you admire the ever-changing scenery or soak it up from the Observation Lounge.

    At Sea

    Begin your morning at sea with a refreshing dip in the Vitality pool on Deck 10, followed by a leisurely coffee at the Observation Terrace. Alternatively, join an early guided meditation session on deck, embracing the tranquillity of the open sea.
    
    Later in the day, unwind in the serene surroundings of the Senses Spa, where you can enjoy complimentary thermal loungers and infrared saunas, or join a class in the PURE: Yoga & Pilates Studio. Before your Discovery Voyage ends, consider reserving a treatment, perhaps an ESPA facial, massage or an alternative therapy such as an Ayurvedic-inspired treatment for deeper renewal.
