The coastlines of Australia and New Zealand are so rich and diverse, that we wanted to find a way to explore them deeply, to stop and explore some of these incredible sites. We also wanted to strike a balance between the natural beauty available on this coast and the outstanding towns and villages that have grown from living on the coast.  

We also wanted to make sure that your cruise ship was a state of the art, modern ship with all you could hope for on board. With sports pitches, a casino, entertainment every night and more bars and lounges than you will likely visit, the ship is a wonderful place to spend time. 

Then in Auckland, we wanted to make sure that when you reached the end of your cruise, you got some time in this incredible area. We want you to truly experience the unique culture and outstanding natural surroundings of this classic New Zealand city. 

The tour starts off in Sydney Harbour and we will collect you from your flight into Sydney and transfer you to meet the cruise ship in the harbour. From there we head down the coast to Melbourne before crossing the Tasman Sea and cruising up the coast to Auckland.
