ICONIC WILDERNESS &
DYNAMIC BEAUTY
Resurface the child within when visiting the great “Land of Oz”
and the extraordinary worlds found across New Zealand. Few places
exhibit such unique creatures and enthralling landscapes, while also
offering equal portions of delectable, local cuisine and world-class
wines. Each day brings outstanding entertainment and fascinating
enrichment opportunities in this incredible region.
Here, Seven Seas Explorer® continues her tour of the east in
2022 and 2023 on magical voyages around Australia, New Zealand,
and the islands of the South Pacific. Crocs leap for lunch and World
War II artefacts are on display in Darwin, Australia, whereas Airlie
Beach takes a more relaxed approach with its white-sand beaches
and crystal-clear waters. Further on, overnights in Cairns, Melbourne
and Brisbane create the perfect opportunity for more modern
engagements, from the Skyrail Cableway soaring over miles of
rainforest to a vibrant street art scene and a bevy of other
cultural encounters. Sydney Icons are on tap during a FREE Land
Programme, with inspiration to be drawn from the ever-impressive
Sydney Opera House, the 360-degree panoramic perspective of
Sydney Tower and more.
A short sailing away, New Zealand’s dramatic fjords are an
enchanting introduction to a country rich in natural wonder. You’ll
quickly understand why the native Māori are so connected to this
stunningly magical land, which they call Aotearoa (“Land of the
Long White Cloud”), from the staggering Bay of Islands to
Auckland’s “City of Sails” to Dunedin’s majestic Otago Peninsula.
