Scenic Eclipse II returns to Fremantle after Kimberley seasons

Scenic Eclipse II, the second ship in the World’s First Discovery Yachts™ fleet, has docked in Fremantle, marking the end of its highly successful 2024 and 2025 Kimberley and Western Australia cruising season.

Designed for ultra-luxury exploration, the ship has taken guests on immersive journeys through the region’s remote coastlines, revealing ancient landscapes, dramatic gorges, pristine beaches and Aboriginal cultural sites.

Equipped with two Airbus H130-T2 helicopters and a next-generation submersible, Scenic Eclipse II offered rare perspectives—soaring above cliffs, diving beneath the waves, and accessing secluded locations unreachable by larger vessels.

“Our guests have been completely captivated by Western Australia’s raw beauty and unique experiences. As we head further on to South Pacific waters via East Antarctica, we’re offering Australians their final opportunity to join us on these truly remarkable ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht voyages in our region,” said Anthony Laver, General Manager Sales & Marketing APAC, Scenic Group.

New journeys await across the South Pacific and East Antarctica

With the Fremantle call complete, Scenic Eclipse II now shifts focus to a new suite of voyages through Oceania. Highlights of the season ahead include:

  • South Pacific Discovery: A journey through Norfolk Island, New Caledonia and Fiji, highlighting the region’s vibrant cultures and idyllic landscapes
  • Treasures of the Pacific: From Fiji’s Yasawa Islands to Norfolk Island and New Zealand, this itinerary blends tropical beauty with rich history
  • Antarctica’s Ross Sea: A rare chance to explore East Antarctica’s dramatic landscapes and unique wildlife on a true expedition-style voyage

Unrivalled comfort and adventure at sea

Accommodating just 228 guests, Scenic Eclipse II offers 114 spacious suites—all with private verandahs and butler service. Onboard, guests can enjoy ten all-inclusive dining options, eight bars and lounges, and a 550m² spa sanctuary featuring aromatherapy, a salt therapy lounge, an ice fountain and dedicated wellness spaces.

Adventurous travellers can opt for unique excursions via the ship’s helicopters or its submersible, Scenic Neptune II, which delivers panoramic underwater views. These tools open up rarely visited areas such as Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys and Mawson’s Huts, or provide scenic flights over Pacific archipelagos.

All experiences are led by Scenic’s acclaimed Discovery Team, made up of naturalists, geologists and cultural experts who bring each destination to life.
