Overview

There is nowhere else in the world quite like Melanesia, and on this Scenic Eclipse voyage across the vast archipelago, you’ll be captivated by their timeless charm and exquisite beauty. No matter which island you find yourself on, from Tanna Island in Vanuatu, to L’Ile-des-Pins or Norfolk Island, every moment will be a revelation.

Our Mysteries of Melanesia voyage takes you some of the world’s least traversed seas, where you will explore remote archipelagos and isolated communities that have preserved their traditional lifestyles away from the gaze of the modern world. Adventurous souls...read more can get immersed into the surroundings: swimming in the pristine waters of deserted beaches and encountering rare and endemic species in the sky, jungle and ocean.

Itinerary

Bula! Fiji’s second-biggest settlement is nestled in the heart of a sugar-cane growing region. This sweet start to your voyage opens up a world of blissful beaches, turquoise seascapes, dense jungle and the always-smiling Fijian locals. Your journey into wonder begins with a warm greeting by the crew as you step on board Scenic Eclipse. Please book your flight to arrive into Nadi prior to 02:00 PM. (D)

Settle into your ultra-luxury suite and enjoy a day of sailing in deep blue seas, making the most of the amenities on the World’s First Discovery Yacht. (B/L/D)

Tanna’s erupting Mount Yasur is regarded as the world’s most accessible active volcano. Known for its continuous activity since Captain James Cook observed ash eruptions in 1774, it’s considered a sacred area by members of the John Frum cargo cult, who believe their deity resides inside. (B/L/D)

The “Jewel of the Pacific” is named after the tall trees that line the white-sand shores. It’s the southernmost of the Caledonian islands and the largest in the marine area of the Great Southern Lagoon, a UNESCO World Heritage site. In the centre, N’ga Peak offers breathtaking views, while Kuto and Kanumera Bays are remarkable for their marine life. Don’t miss taking a dip in the natural seawater pool, close to Oro Bay. (B/L/D)

In between islands, savouring the ship’s facilities and activities or enjoy some down-time in your ultra-luxury suite. (B/L/D)

Roughly halfway between New Zealand and Australia, this tiny island is an outlying self- governing Australian territory. Claimed by Captain James Cook for the British in 1774, Norfolk was settled as a convict colony, and in 1855, Queen Victoria sent the descendants of The Bounty mutineers here. Explore convict ruins, four museums, sheltered beaches and towering pines. (B/L/D)

As we sail towards Sydney, spend two more glorious days indulging in the many luxuries onboard Scenic Eclipse. (B/L/D)

(B/L/D)
