Itinerary

Day 1 - Sun, 31 Mar
Pape’ete (Tahiti), French Polynesia (D)

Welcome to the island of Tahiti. As the capital of French Polynesia, Pape’ete blends a city buzz with a relaxed lifestyle. Be warmly greeted on board Scenic Eclipse. Meet the Captain, crew and your Discovery Team before setting sail for your adventure.
Please book your flight to arrive into Papeete prior to 02:00 PM.


Day 2 - Mon, 01 Apr
Bora Bora (B,L,D)

The famous paradise of Bora Bora is a majestic spectacle of mesmerising beauty. In one of the world’s most beautiful lagoons, see colourful fish, manta rays and timid reef sharks in clear turquoise waters, fringed with iconic overwater resorts. Covered with tropical vegetation, the island is dominated by the magnificent outline of Mount Otemanu. Take a walk through this volcanic landscape to discover the villages and meet the locals.

Day 3 - Tue, 02 Apr
At sea (B,L,D)

During your day at sea, make the most of the services and activities on Scenic Eclipse. Indulge in a moment of relaxation in Senses Spa, kick back in a Cabana on Deck 10, or simply view the spectacle of the ocean while enjoying a cocktail.

Day 4 - Wed, 03 Apr
Aitutaki Atoll, Cook Islands (B,L,D)
Aitutaki is home to another contender for the most beautiful lagoon on the planet. Go snorkelling or settle into the simple life in this peaceful fishing port. The island specialises in the sale of black pearls, colourful sarongs, patchwork quilting and other handicrafts.

Day 5 - Thu, 04 Apr
Palmerston Island, Cook Islands (B,L,D)

A remarkably isolated island community, Palmerston is one of several sandy islets on a continuous ring of coral reef enclosing a lagoon. A favourite swimming spot is called Duke’s Pool, in honour of the late Prince Philip, who swam there in the 1970’s during a rare royal visit. With a population of around 60, most of the friendly residents are the descendants of one British man, William Marsters, and his three wives.

Day 6 - Fri, 05 Apr
At sea (B,L,D)

Another day at sea is a chance to relax, visit the spa or fitness centre, spot a whale from the deck, or top up your tan before arriving in the next country.

Day 7 - Sat, 06 Apr
Alofi, Niue (B,L,D)

Niue was settled by Samoa in the 10th century. Captain Cook, who sighted the coral island in 1774, was refused permission to land, but British missionaries arrived in the 19th century. Now a self-governing state in a free association with New Zealand, Niue is ideal for hiking along its coastal walks, exploring caves, cliffs and swimming holes.

Day 8 - Sun, 07 Apr
Crossing The International Date Line (B,L,D)


Day 9 - Mon, 08 Apr
Vava’u, Tonga (B,L,D)

Vava’u, an archipelago of around 40 coral islands in the south Pacific Ocean, is a captivating combination of lush vegetation, sandy beaches, abundant marine life and underwater caves. Mount Talau towers over the main island, offering panoramic views. Local traditions involve woven leaves from the pandanus tree, production of Noni juice and extraction of vanilla essence.

Day 10 - Tue, 09 Apr
Fulanga Island, Fiji (B,L,D)

Fulaga is a narrow crescent of reef limestone in Fiji's Southern Lau Group. Adored for its beauty and lovely lagoon, the island has three villages: Muanaicake, Muanaira and Naividamu. The locals are skilled carvers, known for making outrigger canoes and wooden bowls, with some of their handiwork available for purchase during your visit.

Day 11 - Wed, 10 Apr
Vanua Balavu Island (B,L,D)

The long and winding Vanua Balavu has natural hot springs, volcanic landforms and a huge lagoon bounded by a 130-kilometre barrier reef. A small monument near the wharf recognises the history of Lomaloma, the village used by Tongan warlord Ma’afu as his base to attempt to conquer Fiji in the 1840s.

Day 12 - Thu, 11 Apr
Ovalau (B,L,D)

Levuka was Fiji’s first capital, where King Cakobau reigned and the Deed of Cession to Queen Victoria was signed in 1874. Many of the old buildings remain unchanged since this time. See the Cession Stone, commemorating the signing, as well as Fiji’s first government school and the popular Ovalau Club.

Day 13 - Fri, 12 Apr
Lautoka (B)
Please book your flight to depart out of Nadi after 12:00 PM.
Disembark in the second largest city of Fiji, Lautoka is located on the western side of the island of Viti Levu, 24 kilometres north of Nadi. As the gateway to Fiji’s Sun Coast, it’s a pleasant mix of sugar-cane fields, grass- covered peaks, rural villages and market towns. Farewell your new friends, the crew and the Scenic Eclipse. The itinerary is a guide only and may be amended for operational reasons. As such Scenic cannot guarantee the voyage will operate unaltered from the itinerary stated above. Please refer to our terms and conditions for further information.
