Cruising to Australia and New Zealand will take you on a journey to a special part of the world, where you will see spectacular natural wonders- the Great Barrier Reef and New Zealand’s Milford Sound. This is a region of beautiful scenery, majestic fjords, fine wine, friendly people and exotic wildlife.
From the iconic Sydney Opera House to the soaring green mountains of New Zealand, this region offers newness, tradition and majestic scenery.
Sailing into Sydney one cannot miss the city’s famous landmarks- the dramatic sails of the iconic Opera House and the largest steel arch bridge in the world, the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Sydney offers a combination of cosmopolitan experiences, thrilling architecture, scenic parks and ports, and some of Australia’s best beaches nearby.
Auckland has harbours between the shimmering waters of the Tasman Sea, the Manukau Harboura and the Pacific Ocean, the Waitemata Harbour. This vibrant city is a gateway to New Zealand’s natural and cultural treasure: great natural beauty, friendly people, sculpted fjords, pristine beaches, lush rainforest and a number of sporting activities and don’t forget the sheep and the rolling farmland.
Milford Sound is actually a fjord and not a sound and its remote location, surrounded by steep cliffs and dense rainforest, means its special features remain unspoilt. Rain or shine, Milford Sound continues to captivate even the most experienced traveller with its beautiful surroundings, dark blue waters, gushing waterfalls and captivating views.
Located at the point where two UNESCO World Heritage sites- the Wet Tropics of Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef- curve to the shoreline. This laid-back city is popular for kite surfing, swimming, snorkelling and Zodiac excursions. Beyond the coast are mountains, rainforests, eucalyptus, waterfalls, lakes, rocky valleys and farmlands.
Tauranga is the gateway to the Rotorua Thermal Area, a charming region of towering geysers, bubbling mud pots, steam vents and other volcanic phenomena. Take a boat ride through the incomparable glow-worm caves of Waitomo or be a hobbit for a day at the Hobbiton Movie Set in Matamata.
Kangaroo Island or “KI”, as the locals call it, is the third largest island off the coast of mainland Australia. Often referred to as a “Zoo without Fences”, Kangaroo Island is a place that has offered protection to substantial wild populations of native Australian animals. You will find sky-high cliffs, dense bushland, gigantic sand dunes, and peaceful wetlands.
