AUSTRALIA &
NEW ZEALAND
ANTIPODEAN ANTICIPATION
Few destinations in the world produce an automatic and almost
involuntary “I can’t wait to go there!” like the one-two travel punch
of Australia and New Zealand. Booking a trip to these antipodes
releases an anticipatory joy that’s nearly childlike, such is the appeal
of a pair of countries that promise exotic fauna, otherworldly
landscapes and delightful people. Your adult side won’t go wanting,
of course, as both countries serve up delectable local cuisine and
world-class wines.
Seven Seas Explorer® continues her tour of the east in 2023 and 2024
on four magical voyages around Australia and New Zealand, while
Seven Seas Navigator® makes one in January 2024. Be prepared to
fall in love with Melbourne’s European elegance and sophisticated
street culture, not to mention the wallabies, wombats and koalas at
Healesville Sanctuary. Keep an eye out for an elusive platypus or
two exploring Gunns Plains Caves in rugged Tasmania. Your first
glimpse of the ‘Coathanger’ in Sydney’s sublime harbor will stay with
you forever, as will diving into the hubbub of Circular Quay at the
water’s edge. Indulge in Brisbane’s brilliance with wine-tasting on
the Gold Coast, the sands of Surfers Paradise, and the jacarandas,
flame trees and bougainvillea of South Bank.
Across the Tasman Sea, New Zealand is similarly breathtaking yet
culturally distinct from Australia. Maori culture greets you with a
spiritual embrace throughout Aotearoa (“Land of the Long White
Cloud”), and you can witness traditional Maori culture in Rotorua.
Auckland’s glittering metropolis rises above a striking canopy of
long-dormant, blazingly green volcanoes, while sailing crafts of all
sizes dot its waterways. Fjords along the South Island coast will
humble you, while Central Otago wines will make you seek them
out when you return home.
