Ports of Call
Dusky Sound, New Zealand
Scenic Cruising
Australia & New Zealand
The largest and most complex of the many fjords along this coast, Dusky Sound boasts steep-sided cliffs and hundreds of cascading waterfalls. Direct your attention to the water to spot seals and dolphins, and to the sky to view broad billed prions, mottled petrels and sooty shearwaters. This amazing sound is one of three featured on most itineraries.
Hilo, Hawaii
New Zealand
Located on the lush coast of the Big Island, Hilo is home to two of the most spetacular water falls in all of creation: Rainbow Falls in the south and the mammoth Akaka Falls in the north. Hilo is also home to Volcanoes National Park and the imposing Kilauea Volcano.
Fanning Island, Republic of Kiribati
New Zealand
An extremely remote, untouched atoll in the central Pacific Ocean, diminutive Fanning Island (just seven milres in diameter) is graced with an interior lagoon, white sand beaches and ample opportunities for snorkeling and scuba-diving. Because of its isolation, the island and its people offer a refreshing South Pacific experience. Shop the handicraft market for locally made shell jewelry and woven grass skirts.
Hobart, Tasmania
Australia and New Zealand
A riverside city replete with Georgian charm, Hobart features a thriving arts scene, a gorgeous mountain backdrop and a busy harbor where yachts from all over the world congregate. It’s also the gateway to a world class chocolate factory, Cadbury, and home to the Cascade Brewery, producing one of the finest beers in New Zealand. To learn more about the island’s Aboriginal heritage, a visit to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is worth making.
Honolulu (Oahu), Hawaii
Departure Port
New Zealand
Cosmopolitan Honolulu offers hundreds of attractions and points of interest for the ambitious sightseer. From Pearl Harbor to Iolani Palace (one of the only royal palaces on American soil), you’ll enjoy exploring this city, which seems to rise up out of the lush Hawaiian flora.
Melbourne, Australia
Australia & New Zealand
The capital of Victoria and Australia’s second largest city, Melbourne is a cultural melting pot of Greek, Chinese, Italian, Vietnamese and Lebanese, and host to major international events. You’ll discover a decidedly European influence here, complete with old world architecture and a cricket field at the center of the city. The Melbourne Zoo is the oldest in the world and a great place to see Australian animals.
Napier, New Zealand
Australia & New Zealand
There’s really only one word to describe this city: pretty. Napier’s elegant art deco architecture, captivating beaches and award winning vineyards provide an appealing backdrop as you take in the sights. The National Aquarium of New Zealand, shaped like a stingray, features piranhas and crocodiles, as well as several other safer species in hands on exhibits.
Milford Sound, New Zealand
Scenic Cruising
Australia & New Zealand
Situated within Fiordland National Park, Milford Sound is part of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritsage Site and is surrounded by sheer rock faces and lush forests. As our ship cruises through the narrow fjord, you may feel as if we are shrinking in size in comparison to the towering cliffs and mountains. This protected sound is one of three featured on most itineraries.
Newcastle, Australis
Australia & New Zealand
While Newcastle is a significant coal shipping center, you’ll likely focus more on its surf worthy beaches and recreational pools, filled regularly with ocean saltwater. These historic Ocean Baths are located along the beach and are built with a art deco flair. Soak in the pools, take a relaxing swim, or ventujre into Hunter Valley to view stunning vineyardds and taste fine varietals.
Moorea, French Polynesia
New Zealand
Moorea is a unique volcanic island surrounded by languid lagoons and both white and black sand beaches. Often associated with James Michener’s imaginary island of Bali Ha’I, Moorea is the epitome of paradise. View tapa cloth making and other traditional French Polynesian handicrafts at the Tiki Village Theatre, built to resemble ancient villages that once graced the islands.
Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia
New Zealand
The capital city of French Polynesia’s largest island, Papeete is a hot spot noted for chic shopping and the cultural beauty that inspired artist Paul Gauguin. You can view works that recature his life in French Polynesia at Musee Gauguin and perhaps even find colorful pareus like the ones worn by his beautiful models in his impressionistic masterpieces at the busy Marche Municipale.
Sydney, Australia
Departure Port
Australia & New Zealand
Among the world’s most exciting cities, Sydney is home to dazzling beaches and the Sydney Opera house-an architectural marvel and one of the most recognizable performing arts venues in the world. For spectacular views of Sydney Harbour, take a walk across the Sydney Harbour Bride. Or for great views in the water, stroll through the Sydney Aquarium’s underwater walkways.
