Australia and New Zealand await
The South Pacific cruise journey is not complete without making trips to Australia and New Zealand to explore the beautiful coastlines, the rugged interiors and the boundless adventures that await cruisers to these two countries so close in distance, yet so vastly different in most every other way.
From the craggy peaks of the Blue Mountains to the lush tropics of Queensland and the coral treasure land of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia has something unusual to offer visitors. And when you’ve seen all you can absorb, you can toast Australia with its home-grown, award-winning wines.
A visit to New Zealand wouldn't be complete without leisure, though. Visitors can walk along the country's beautiful coastline or enjoy the coast from a sailboat. Travelers in search of relaxation can also fish in New Zealand's crystal clear lakes and rivers. The North Island is more populated and has a warmer, temperate climate. The South Island has a more open, spacious feel with spectacular fjords, glaciers, agricultural plains, and hundreds of streams and lakes.
