Scenic Eclipse II Reviews (7) 91 reviews of Scenic Eclipse II from past clients of Global Journeys
The crew took the Zodiacs out each day - sometimes the water was rough and the crew took care to help the passengers on and off the Zodiacs. On two days, the water was too rough for the Zodiacs to make a landing on the beach, on these days we cruised slowly along the coastline of the islands and we really enjoyed that. While anchored outside Dampier, we were surrounded by dozens of humpback whales, we had never imagined so many whales together in one place. From the Zodiacs we were able to view amazing underwater life - huge bommies, dugung, colourful fish - much more.
We visited many historic sites and learned a lot. Several marine biologists and environmentalists on board and each night we had a lecture/discussion on what we had seen during the day. We highly recommend this cruise - there was nothing we could fault. We would certainly travel with Scenic again, and we would also ask Tracey from Global Journeys to handle our future bookings for us.
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.
We were told we had to organize our own diving (which is difficult on a discovery voyage as there is no itinerary). The Discovery team and Shore Excursion team onboard offered no assistance and we only got to dive after we went to the Captain, who gladly helped us to determine the best place and time to organize our own dive excursion.
Also, the ship only had onboard approx 45 snorkels/fins/masks for 200 people. We took our own equipment but were still lumped together with everyone else. One day we spent 2 hours waiting on the beach for a 30 min snorkel. If you are not a snorkeller or diver then this would have been a fabulous trip however for us, who like the below the water experience, we felt we did not optimize the time in Raja Ampat. Still had a great trip and enjoyed our time though.
Our only gripe was the flight from Oslo to Longyearbyen. We were divided into two groups, one group had a chartered direst flight to Longyearbyen and were served a meal. We were on a much longer, regular SAS flight which flew via Tromso, requiring us to go through security and immigration again. Any food or drink required payment, including water. We arrived at the ship much later in the afternoon than the other group.
