Welcome to the island of Tahiti. The capital of French Polynesia, Tahiti is the largest of a string of 118 islands scattered across the South Pacific, approximately halfway between Los Angeles and Sydney. Papeete possesses the buzz of a city with a relaxed lifestyle and a melting pot of cultures.

This afternoon, be warmly greeted with a glass of Champagne as you board Scenic Eclipse II, your ultra-luxury home for the next 12 days. Meet the Captain, crew and your Discovery Team before setting sail into the sparkling South Pacific.

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

Step into the vibrant beauty of Moorea, where shimmering turquoise lagoons, lush tropical fruits, dramatic mountain peaks, and palm-lined beaches create an unforgettable island escape. Enjoy water activities off the water sports marina, organised by the Discovery Team, or simply relax and soak in the serene coastal atmosphere.

Tonight, indulge in refined French cuisine at Lumière+, where elegance meets exceptional culinary craftsmanship. Enjoy exquisite dishes paired with fine wines in a sophisticated atmosphere, perfect for a special evening.

Bora Bora greets you with its iconic turquoise lagoon and the striking silhouette of Mount Otemanu. Stroll along pristine white-sand beaches, feel the gentle ocean breeze, and take in sweeping views of the dramatic volcanic peaks. Enjoy a variety of water-based activities in the crystal-clear lagoon, from kayaking and paddleboarding to snorkelling among vibrant coral reefs, all framed by the island’s breathtaking scenery. For a more leisurely pace, relax on the beach, explore secluded coves, or simply soak in the tranquil beauty of one of the South Pacific’s most celebrated islands.

Spend a leisurely day aboard your ultra-luxury Scenic Discovery Yacht. Begin with a slow morning in your spacious suite, savouring breakfast delivered directly to you. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows frame ever-changing views of the open ocean, creating a serene backdrop as you ease into the day.

Your personal butler is always on hand to bring morning refreshments, afternoon tea, or cocktails to your private verandah. Whether you choose to unwind in your suite or simply admire the endless horizon, today is yours to savour the elegance and comfort of life at sea.

Aitutaki reveals one of the world’s most stunning lagoons, stretching over 50 square kilometres and dotted with a constellation of islands and islets, most untouched and pristine. With gentle elevations never exceeding 124 metres, the sweeping, picture-perfect vistas remain uninterrupted at every turn.

Immerse yourself in the lagoon’s crystalline waters with a snorkelling excursion, bask on powdery beaches, or simply surrender to the tranquil rhythm of island life. Browse the local markets near the wharf, where vendors showcase a curated selection of black pearls, vibrant sarongs, and exquisite handmade craft — perfect for those seeking a touch of authentic island elegance.

One of the most remote communities in the world, Palmerston Island lies within a brilliant turquoise lagoon formed by a coral atoll in the northern Cook Islands. Six small islets sit within an 11-kilometre-wide ring of reef, creating a protected haven rich in marine life.

Originally known as Avarau, meaning “200 harbours”, the island was sighted by Captain James Cook in 1774 and later named for Lord Palmerston of the British Admiralty. Today, fewer than 60 residents live here, most descended from Englishman William Marsters, a ship’s carpenter who settled in 1863.

A warm welcome awaits, often led by the Mayor and local schoolchildren. Spend time discovering this close-knit community, browsing handmade crafts, or enjoying the lagoon’s inviting waters including Duke’s Pool, where Prince Philip swam during his visit in the 1970s.

After a couple of days exploring, enjoy some relaxation at sea. Join newfound friends over a meal at the Azure Bar & Café, with beautiful indoor and outdoor seating. Graze throughout the day and savour Scenic Eclipse II's all-inclusive premium beverages—there's something to suit every taste.

Tonight's entertainment at the state-of-the-art theatre offers another opportunity to appreciate the magical moments aboard Scenic Eclipse II before you retire to your ultra-luxury suite. Or choose to dine in the comfort of your suite and have your evening nightcap delivered by your butler.

Step into Alofi, the heart of Niue, one of the world’s smallest nations with fewer than 2,000 residents. This peaceful town offers a glimpse of the South Pacific as it once was, with charming churches and quiet streets reflecting its rich Polynesian heritage.

Venture beyond Alofi along dramatic coastal trails, past cliffs and hidden caves, or unwind on pristine, secluded beaches perfect for swimming and snorkelling in complete tranquillity.

Today you will become a time traveller, as Scenic Eclipse II crosses the International Date Line, an imaginary line of demarcation that runs from the North to the South Pole, located roughly along the 180th meridian in the Pacific Ocean.

Join the Captain and crew for a celebratory crossing ceremony, honouring ancient maritime traditions with a light-hearted appreciation of the marvels of time and travel.

Tonga’s Vava’u archipelago, a cluster of around 40 coral islands, enchants with lush landscapes, sandy beaches, and vibrant marine life. Towering Mount Talau offers sweeping views, while local traditions—from pandanus weaving to vanilla extraction—bring the island’s rich culture to life. 

Scenic Discovery:
Today, subject to weather and local authorities’ approval, you may have the opportunity to join your Discovery Team to snorkel, kayak or stand-up paddleboard in the calm lagoon.

Arrive on Lakeba Island and explore the charming Tubou Village, where Fijian customs and everyday life unfold against a backdrop of verdant landscapes. Meander through quiet lanes, meet welcoming locals, and enjoy the atmosphere of this lesser-known South Pacific haven.

Somosomo, the largest village on Fiji’s Taveuni Island, offers a gateway to some of the region’s most spectacular marine environments. Nearby waters are home to vibrant coral reefs teeming with diverse marine life, making it a haven for snorkelling enthusiasts. On land, lush landscapes invite discovery, from cascading waterfalls to serene lakes, providing an idyllic balance of adventure and relaxation.

Your Discovery Voyage reaches its finale today. After a final morning on board your ultra-luxury Scenic Discovery Yacht, farewell the Captain and crew before continuing your journey to Fiji’s islands.

Transfer to Nadi for your scenic seaplane flight to Kokomo Private Island, where a warm welcome awaits on arrival. Be escorted to your private villa, where a refreshing drink and ocean views set the tone for your stay. Take time to settle in, whether relaxing by your pool, unwinding on your terrace or enjoying the peaceful rhythm of the island.

A leisurely lunch introduces the resort’s Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with Fijian influences, served either in-villa or at the Beach Shack. The afternoon is at leisure. As the day draws to a close, make your way to the island’s relaxed oceanfront bars, where sunset views and handcrafted cocktails create an effortless transition into the evening.

Dinner at Beach Shack is a relaxed, share style affair, showcasing the skills of the resort’s international chefs: handmade pastas, risottos rich with local flavour, aged cuts of meat, grilled prawns, mud crabs and whole baked fish, all inspired by sustainably sourced Fijian produce. After dinner, return to your villa for a quiet evening under the stars, with the gentle sounds of the ocean completing your first night in this secluded island setting.

Enjoy a gourmet breakfast wherever you feel most at ease – barefoot at the Beach Shack or in the privacy of your villa – with tropical fruit, fresh pastries and cooked to order favourites prepared just for you. This morning, venture out onto the water to discover one of the world’s finest marine environments. Kokomo sits on the Great Astrolabe Reef, and a guided snorkelling or introductory diving experience reveals a kaleidoscope of coral, reef fish and, in season, the chance to encounter larger pelagic life like sharks and tuna in crystal clear water.

On your return, a casual lunch gives way to an afternoon of relaxation. As the day cools, you might join a private yoga or meditation session, aligning breath and movement while gazing out over the island’s tropical canopy.

Evening brings another opportunity to savour the island’s culinary creativity. Tonight you may like to focus on the ocean’s bounty: grilled local prawns, delicate fish, vibrant salads and vegetables, paired with fine wines or crafted cocktails, all enjoyed to the soundtrack of the waves. Return once more to your villa, where your personal bar is restocked with a selection of non-alcoholic beverages, your clothes are laundered and pressed, and everything is prepared for another effortless day in paradise.

Your final full day on Kokomo is yours to shape entirely ‘your way’. Greet the sunrise with a gentle kayak or standup paddle around the island, watching the light catch the reef and the jungle interior, before returning to a leisurely breakfast. For those drawn to adventure, the morning may bring a deeper exploration of the reef through diving, or a half day of deep-sea fishing with the resort’s experienced team, chasing game fish in the blue waters beyond the lagoon.

Back on Kokomo, lunch is unhurried and generous, perhaps taken poolside or in the shade of a palm fringed dining pavilion. The afternoon invites you to slow down completely. Laze beside the resort’s pool or retreat to the privacy of your own, dipping in and out of the water as you sip something chilled from your personal bar.

As your last evening unfolds, the resort team can arrange a special private dining experience, like a candlelit table set on the beach, or an elegant in villa dinner that transforms your terrace into an intimate restaurant for two or more. Feast on a tailored menu that highlights the best of local seafood and Fijian flavours, accompanied by the glow of lanterns and the sound of the tide. A celebration of time well spent in exceptional surroundings.

Enjoy a final swim in the lagoon or your pool, followed by a last, lingering breakfast and perhaps one more walk along the beach. Your air transfer back to Nadi will depart after 10am.
