Scenic Cruise from Taipei to Bali 1
Ashley and Brian, QLD, Australia, Jun 2025
Took a Scenic Cruise, starting in Taipei and travelling to Manila, El Nido, Sabah and several Indonesian islands. The trip included wildlife watching, museums, viewing cultural practices and watersports on several beaches. Our cruise had 185 passengers and even more crew. Overall, very happy with the yacht and Scenic do a good job ensuring you have read more a good time with an endless bar and room service whenever you wish. The destinations were varied.
Things that could have been done better was the day before starting the cruise in Taipei. The charge for the Taipei hotel was much more than the rack rate and no tour of Taipei was arranged. Also, there was lots of confusion surrounding the visas and it was left to the yacht crew to sort out when some of it could have been sorted out beforehand.
Many fellow passengers had been on several Scenic cruises prior so that was a good endorsement. I'd travel with them again. I'd choose Scenic Eclipse 1 over 2 as well as the cabin design and furnishings are better on 1.
