This is a 14-day Expedition cruise with an exceptional itinerary, so allow yourself to be transported to another world where the wildlife rules and we are but visitors.
The Subantarctic Islands of Australia and New Zealand are among some of the best preserved and protected environments on the planet. Often described as the “Galapagos of the Southern Ocean”, you will experience scenery and wildlife unlike anywhere on earth.
After sailing through the spectacular Fiords of southwest New Zealand, the ship will plot a course south towards the New Zealand Subantarctic Islands and Australia’s very own Macquarie Island. These remote island outposts are collectively designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are home to diverse wildlife with many species endemic to the region and even to each individual island.
You will be captivated by the breathtaking scenery. Meadows of herbs which form a colourful tapestry and towering cliffs, shaped by the power of the waves and wind. With a myriad of penguins patrolling the black sandy beaches it is truly a nature-lover’s dream come true.
