Secrets of Indonesia: Spice Islands & Raja Ampat
Scenic Ocean Cruises

Experience pure exhilaration as you voyage through Indonesia’s remote Maluku Islands and Raja Ampat on board Scenic Eclipse II. With its pristine coral reefs, untouched jungle and abundant marine life, this isolated corner of the globe will simply take your breath away.The islands of Indonesia are some of the most biodiverse on the planet, home to thousands of unique species of flora and fauna. The archipelago has fascinated scientists for centuries, including famed naturalist Alfred Russell Wallace. Though not as famous as his contemporary Charles Darwin, he also developed an independent theory of evolution based on his remarkable finds here in the 1850s. On this voyage, you’ll follow in Wallace’s footsteps, making a 14-day loop from Darwin and calling at spectacular islands where Wallace made some of his greatest discoveries. With two days at sea bookending the journey, you’ll have plenty of time to soak up the luxuries on board one of The World’s First Discovery Yachts, Scenic Eclipse II.
