Meet some of our Australia, Indonesia and Pacific Discovery Team experts Dr Brent Alloway
Ross Howatson
Naturalist, Geologist, Glaciologist Lecturer and Zodiac Driver
Naturalist
An experienced earth scientist and professor, Brent has conducted research-based fieldwork in regions from Alaska to Antarctica, and others in between. He is interested in landscape histories, volcanism, paleo-environmental change and human origins. His diverse interests are reflected in the authorship and publication of several international articles, including in the prestigious Nature. Responsible for overseeing the monitoring and surveillance of New Zealand’s volcanoes as the country’s Chief Volcanologist (1998-2003), he received the McKay Hammer Award for his contribution to NZ geology. Retired from teaching, Brent is still connected with earth science research and enjoys the opportunities to share his knowledge during expedition cruises.
A sailor at heart, Ross has accumulated thousands of blue-water miles in smaller sail boats across the Pacific Ocean and in expedition vessels in the Polar regions. His connection with the ocean goes way back, as some of his very first travelling experiences were through the remote islands of Oceania. This New Zealander carries a personal fascination with the Polynesian mariners and migration, along with a broad range of naturalist’s knowledge from years of working in the field, which ignites his focus and dedication to the opportunities awaiting guests in the most pristine and wild destinations on our planet – “I’m truly grateful to be able to lead adventurous travellers into awe-inspiring environments”.

From the seas to the sky, he is fascinated by the encounters with dolphins, birds and everything in between. For him, being surrounded by some of the oldest rocks on Earth in a region that is, until this day, being taken care of by its native people presents you with a unique feeling. Their way of life is inspirational and humbling, which makes being able to briefly be a part of this alien world something truly special. A Horizontal Falls, Australia B Arnhem Land, Australia B

POLYNESIA & THE PACIFIC ISLANDS Dubbed heaven on Earth by many, Polynesia and the Pacific spans a quarter of the globe and encompasses around 40,000 islands. Let Scenic Eclipse take you to these isolated communities and be guided by our expert Discovery Team as you immerse in the diverse traditions and terrains of this intriguing region. Each island is culturally unique, with a diverse natural beauty. The volcanic landscape of Tonga’s Hunga Island, the Isle of Pines’ signature pine trees that line the white beaches, and Fiji’s crescent-shaped Fulaga Island that hides within it a crystalline lagoon are just some of the incredible sights that you will witness on board your ultra-luxury Scenic Eclipse voyage.

Endemic Wildlife & Birdlife The Pacific is home to the world’s largest and most diverse population of seabirds, such as the fairy tern, masked red-footed and brown boobies. While the islands of Robinson Crusoe and Alexander Selkirk lie in a biosphere reserve, the archipelago is rich in tropical fish, whales, dugongs and turtles.
Experience Diverse Cultures Each of the Pacific islands has a distinct cultural heritage, with some influenced by colonisation and others whose traditional customs remain resilient. Gain a deeper appreciation of the local beliefs on your guided excursions and with on board lectures in our state-of-the-art theatre.
Historical Significance Among the Pacific regions many intriguing historical sites are Easter Island’s 900 giant stone carvings (‘moais’), rock paintings, petroglyphs and stone Orongo houses. Tonga is home to megalithic stone structures and tombs, while the Solomons has several sunken warships and aircraft to explore.
Pristine Environments
Hanga Roa (Easter Island) S 27° 08’ W 109° 25’

Polynesia
Polynesia is a subtropical treasure chest of archaeological marvels, intriguing history and endemic wildlife, with cultural influences from across the South Pacific, Europe and Chile. This isolated region is an undeniable natural beauty, home to a pristine marine environment and striking volcanic landscapes. Discover the enigma of Easter Island, the real Robinson Crusoe Island and the legendary Pitcairn, an enduring haven of mutineers’ descendants. Be immersed in a burst of colours in French Polynesia with its blue lagoons, pink sands, lingering sunsets, exotic flowers and a rainbow collection of rare and precious birds.
Easter Island
Robinson Crusoe Island
Scenic Eclipse’s innovative design means it is one of a few ships capable of stopping at Easter Island. Enjoy a unique overnight stay in this incredibly remote Chilean territory, 2,300 kilometres from South America.
Explore the native flora, fauna and fables of the stunning Robinson Crusoe Island with Scenic Eclipse’s naturalists, ornithologists, marine biologists and historians.
Easter Island (Hanga Roa) is defined by its gigantic ‘moai’ statues, carved from volcanic stone by its indigenous Rapa Nui people between 1400 and 1650. Hundreds of these mysterious figures loom over the hilly terrain, along with rock paintings, petroglyphs and ceremonial villages. Learn about the origins and significance of this eerie destination, which was cut off from the outside world for centuries.
Discover why this mountainous isle was named after Daniel Defoe’s famous novel, which was inspired by the true story of Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk, who spent four years marooned here (1704-1709).

Alexander Selkirk Island Renamed in honour of the castaway, this nearby smaller island was previously known as Isla Más Afuera. Recognized as an important bird habitat, it supports populations of Stejneger’s and Juan Fernandez petrels and the rare Masafuera rayadito. With a jagged coastline of steep cliffs, often cloaked in mist, the island also served as a penal colony in the early 1900s. Today, fewer than 60 people live here.

This British overseas territory was the notorious haven of mutineers from Captain Bligh’s HMS Bounty. Astonishingly, all of the 50 residents are direct descendants of those first Europeans who settled on the tiny island in 1790. Aside from its scandalous history, Pitcairn is an untouched oasis of pristine waters and beautiful flora, bird and marine life. With only 5 square kilometres, this half-crater lies at the heart of the world’s largest protected expanse of sea. The Pitcairn Islands Marine Reserve is home to a complex community of hard and soft corals and a wide array of sharks and fish, including species not found anywhere else on Earth.

Uncover the Kimberley Coastline: An Ancient Wilderness Prince Frederick Harbour
The treasures of ancient shores A few thousand million years ago, the Kimberley was detached from the rest of the Australian continent. Geological forces caused it to collide with the ancient Pilbara and Yilgarn regions, laying the foundation of the great land we call home. The Kimberley’s antiquity is visible in its unique topography, the many fossils that have been discovered here and its deep-rooted Aboriginal legacy. Your Discovery Voyage will take you deeper into this wondrous land to reveal to you its many remote gems. Explore pristine islands, spectacular native birdlife, concealed reefs bursting with vibrant marine life and the ancient spiritual heritage of the traditional landowners. The Scenic Discovery Team will introduce you to the Kimberley’s unseen richness and our indigenous experts will guide you to a greater appreciation of their homeland. 11 Days

Maluka Islands (Spice Islands) The Maluka Islands, formerly the Spice Islands, were once the exclusive source of coveted spices such as nutmeg, cloves, mace and pepper, which lured international traders across the oceans. While navigating through this incredible ‘Spice Alley’, savour the exquisite cuisine of these destinations at one of up to 10 dining experiences. Charles Darwin’s forgotten partner, naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, spent eight years in this volcanic region collecting samples of endemic insects,
birds and other animals. Many of these endangered species, such as red birds of paradise and birdwinged butterflies, may be spotted on a walk in the jungle. Not only did Wallace formulate his own theory of evolution, in 1859 he identified a hypothetical boundary (now called the Wallace Line) between Bali and Lombok that divides Southeast Asian and Australian fauna. Surrounded by coral reefs, the Maluka Islands are also excellent for diving. Learn more from the lectures and excursions offered by your expert Discovery Team.
