Australian Splendor Cruise

Depart UK for Sydney, two nights' on the flight

Arrive into Sydney, transfer to your hotel for overnight stay

Famous for its beautiful harbour and stunning beaches, Sydney is a must on any visit to Australia. With so much to see and do in this amazing city, its well worth planning ahead to make the most of your time here, especially if you’re only in town for a few days. Perhaps begin by exploring the harbour, with its famous landmarks and take a ferry ride across the harbour to Manly, where you’ll experience fantastic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House along the way. Any visit to Sydney wouldn’t be complete without a visit to its iconic beaches and a great way to see these is by taking the Bondi to Bronte walk, a short spectacular coastal trail along epic sandstone cliffs.

Located at the southern tip of the North Island and nestled between a beautiful harbour and rolling green hills, Wellington is New Zealand’s capital city. The city has a wealth of cultural attractions with many art galleries and museums, including the Te Papa Tongarewa Museum, which is noted as one of the finest interactive museums in the world; the museum is located on the waterfront at Queens Wharf which makes for a pleasant walk from the city centre.

Christchurch, known for its English heritage, is located on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Flat-bottomed punts glide on the Avon River, which meanders through the city centre. On its banks are cycling paths, the green expanse of Hagley Park and Christchurch Botanic Gardens. In 2010 and 2011, earthquakes destroyed many of the historic centre's stone-built buildings.

Nestled in tree-clad hills on the South East coast of the South Island, Dunedin is New Zealand’s largest city by area and arguably the most spectacular in terms of contrasting landscapes. Known as the “Edinburgh of New Zealand” Dunedin is a Kiwi city where Scottish heritage can be found everywhere, you’ll find the statue of Robert Burns in the Octagon as well as New Zealand’s only scotch distillery and kilt shop. The city boasts a wealth of distinguished architecture, including Dunedin train station with its elaborate Victorian facade, extravagant tile floors and etched glass work.

One of the highlights on a cruise to New Zealand are the sparkling Fiords and dramatic beauty of the Fiordland National Park. Made up of 14 fiords, including Dusky Sound, Doubtful Sound and Milford Sound, this UNESCO World Heritage site provides some of the most spectacular scenic cruising in the world, where ancient rain forests cling impossibly to the mountains and waterfalls tumble hundreds of meters into massive fiords.
