I still remember stepping on board the Scenic Eclipse II back in 2023. It was one of her very first voyages, and I’ll never forget that feeling — like walking into a sleek floating boutique hotel, but one that just happened to take me into the most remote of Australia’s coastlines.

The first surprise? The cabins. Most Kimberley ships offer around eighteen square metres. On Scenic Eclipse II, my cabin was a spacious thirty-two square metres, with a private balcony. Every morning I’d throw open those big glass doors, let the light flood in, sip my coffee, and breathe in the Kimberley air. It was a little ritual that made me smile every single day.

And then there were the people. Not just the guests (though I met some incredible fellow travellers), but the team of experts. Historians, naturalists, marine biologists — you name it. Each conversation over dinner or on deck added another layer of understanding to what we were seeing. The Kimberley isn’t just beautiful; it’s deeply rich in story, culture, and life. Having so many passionate experts on board turned each day into a journey of discovery.

Of course, the dining was a highlight in itself — a choice of restaurants, beautifully prepared meals, and the joy of knowing drinks and excursions were all included. The only exception? The helicopters. And yes, watching them sweep across the Kimberley coast, I’d say they’re worth every bit of extra.

What our past travellers say

The Scenic Eclipse is a gorgeous vessel in which to explore the Kimberley. But don’t just take our word for it. Here is some of the feedback from our 2024 and 2025 travellers.

A once in a lifetime experience. This was truly a bucket list experience. Expedition Partners guided us to select the trip that best suited our preferences. The onboard discovery team shared their wealth of knowledge, making this a particularly memorable trip.

John Manusu (2024, NSW)

Scenic Eclipse II cruise down the Kimberly Coast, WA. Well thought out itinerary, extremely well-appointed high tech ship, smiling, positive crew, exceptional food, well executed zodiac trips some exploratory with so many of the expedition crew expert in their fields. The unique geography and remoteness of the Kimberley coast made for stunning scenery with the massive tides adding to the adventures of seeing the Montgomery Reef and Horizontal Falls. Trips ashore to the ancient aboriginal sites were sensitively handled, each were different and interesting. We were able to see many crocodiles, birds, turtles, sharks, whales and other marine life some very close. On board there were several activities like nature talks, concerts — never a dull moment. And every sunrise and sunset was red. All in all an exceptional bucket list cruise. All this was recommended and booked by Flower Travel now Expedition Partners. Great service, knowledgeable, seamless and nothing seemed too much trouble.

Janet Hiley (2024, QLD)

We have just had the best trip travelling the Kimberly coast. It is very difficult to tease out a favourite part of the trip. The scenery was amazing and the aboriginal rock art incredible. Such a range of amazing experiences. The Scenic Eclipse was the most luxurious yacht and the staff was incredible. An amazing holiday!

Rosemary Manusu (2024, NSW)

Jenny at Expedition Partners arranged the most spectacular holiday for us, cruising through the Kimberley on the Scenic Eclipse II and days at Cable Beach Club resort. From the arranged transits, to the best room off the adults only pool at Cable Beach resort, every aspect of our holiday was thought of and organised for us. King George Falls and Montgomery Reef were extraordinary, unforgettable places that we will never forget.

Nancy Collins (2024, VIC)

Organising our Kimberley trip with Expedition Partners was seamless. The phone consultation was invaluable as we could ensure the holiday was a good fit for us. Seeing the Kimberley with Scenic Eclipse II was an amazing experience
