Life is different in this far corner of the world. Whether you’re dreaming of Tahiti and Bora Bora or the UNESCO-
protected Great Barrier Reef and the incandescent Waitomo Glowworm Caves, the experiences in this part of the world
are epic, wild and wonderful. Our South Pacific cruises bring you the chance to discover some of the most remote and
gorgeous islands in the world, filling your days with blue lagoons, coral atolls, ukulele rhythms and lingering sunsets.
Meanwhile, incredible voyages to Australia and New Zealand introduce you to the cosmopolitan centres of Sydney,
Auckland and Melbourne, but also navigate the seascapes of Milford Sound, explore lush valleys blanketed in vineyards
and bring you firsthand encounters with the wilds of Tasmania and the heritage of the Maori. What are you waiting for?
