VIEW FROM MT. VICTORIA THE BEEHIVE
FEATURED Port of Call
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND
Few places fire the imagination like New Zealand, so it’s no surprise its capital city is regularly tagged as the nation’s
“Creative Capital”. Wellington attracts Kiwis who wish to be amongst fellow artistic types, resulting in a small city
packed with museums, theaters, galleries and arts organizations. As Wellington is home to Weta Workshop and the
“Beehive”, civic pride abounds — as does a passion for expertly made coffee and craft beer served in stylish laneway
cafés and vibrant pubs.
Standing atop Mt. Victoria, taking in a panoramic view of Wellington’s breathtaking harbor and lush, green hillsides
dotted with smart suburbs, you’ll understand the locals’ inspiration. Other excursions include Te Papa Tongarewa,
New Zealand ’s national museum, home to an amazing collection of Maori artifacts and native flora, and Zealandia
Wildlife Sanctuary, a world-first, predator-free ecosanctuary, where you’ll see indigenous fauna and 80 million years
of Aotearoa’s natural history.
