New Zealand and Tasmanian Discovery on an ultra-luxury ship and elevated experience!

If 'travel more' was one of your New Year’s resolutions, then look no further than this epic two week discovery of New Zealand. Begin with the beachy recreation of Auckland – aka the City of Sails.

Tick off titanic scenery spots such as Gisborne, and Napier before you get to Wellington – voted the 'coolest capital' by Lonely Planet. Christchurch and Dunedin are your final New Zealand stops before it is time to hop across the sea for 4 days in Tasmania. A day at sea brings you to Sydney, and a great start to 2024.

Itinerary Highlights: 

• Gisborne exudes history at every turn. Maori for “Great standing place of Kiwa”, Kiwa was a leading figure aboard the Maori ancestral canoe, Takitimu, which ran aground in Gisborne around 1450 AD.  The union point of three rivers and the first place to see the sun, the city is filled with light and laugher and gracefully squeezes surfer’s beaches with the district’s colonial past. 
• Sip the fine wines of legendary producers, visit Cape Kidnappers’ crowds of birdlife, and wander the stylish streets of the world’s art deco capital, during your time in handsome Napier. Located on the huge arc of Hawke’s Bay, Napier enjoys a generous Mediterranean style climate and a breezy cafe culture.

• Sprawling around a hook-shaped peninsula, Wellington is a vibrant and energetic seaside capital. A compact, well-stocked city of buzzing bars and chatting cafes, New Zealand's capital is a bright and breezy place with an infectious, easy-going atmosphere. 
• New Zealand's ‘Garden City’ is a place of quiet streets, leafy parks and beautiful tree-lined boulevards. Christchurch has an unmistakable English flavour to it, and serves as the gateway to southern New Zealand’s natural wonders.  
• The south-easterly coast of New Zealand's wild southern island is a haven for outdoor adventures, with masses of raw scenic beauty and thrilling coastline. Heading the Otago Harbour, Dunedin is a cosmopolitan city of culture and architectural splendour, with a distinctly tartan flare.

• Mount Wellington's looming, cloud-wisped form is an ever-present sight as you explore booming Hobart, the cosmopolitan capital of Australia's most southerly state. Encircled by dramatic cliffs, landscaped gardens and rolling vineyards, Hobart is also well stacked with cultural pursuits including museums.
• Port Arthur, a historically somber UNESCO World Heritage site, sits in over 40 hectares of beautiful, landscaped grounds, close to the Tasman National Park, itself famed for its dramatic beauty. Today, Port Arthur brings the story of Australia’s colonial history to life through stories of the very people who lived here.
• Breathe in deep – here in Burnie, you’re tasting untouched air that is some of the cleanest anywhere in the world. Tasmania itself is a place of sweeping National Parks, soaring granite mountain ranges and lakes reflecting spectacular scenery in glass-smooth surfaces
