The proposed maiden Australian season for Scenic Eclipse will feature two 11-day Kimberley itineraries between Darwin and Broome, running from June 19 until August 8.  

‘We are very proud to bring Scenic Eclipse to our waters for the first time, providing Australians with the opportunity to experience the world’s benchmark in six-star ultra-luxury cruising,’ Group GM Sales and Marketing Australasia, Anthony Laver, said. 

The Kimberley discovery voyages are limited to 228 passengers in all-balcony suites. There are 10 dining outlets, nine bars and lounges, an expansive Senses Spa, a gym and a pilates and yoga studio.

Reimagined Yacht Club

Passengers on the Kimberley cruises will be first to experience the new cabanas and a Panoramic Bar on Deck 10, the reimagined Yacht Club and Asian fusion dining at the new Night Market @Koko’s.

Scenic’s health and safety protocols will be implemented, including Scenic Eclipse’s advanced HVAC  system which ensures 100% circulation of fresh air in each suite and all public areas.
