Destination:
Australia & New Zealand Cruise |
|
Cruising to Australia gives
you the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of pleasures. From the Sydney
Opera House to the Great Barrier Reef, you can see a variety of sites
and sounds that range from metropolis to wilderness. Few locations on
earth give you the opportunity to scuba dive in the world's largest
coral reef and go on a shopping spree the same week. Most sailings leave
from Sydney or Auckland, New Zealand. Cruises in Australia may visit
Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney, or destinations around the continent and New
Zealand.

Australia & New Zealand |
|
|
Although
Australia and New Zealand lie literally on the other
side of the world from home, tourists from North America
find that they feel wonderfully at home in these two
nations. A shared language - English is also the
dominant language "down under" - and a host of other
similarities in national character and style allay the
strangeness of the striking landscapes, unique wildlife
and distinctive cultural traditions of these two
nations.
A continent as well as a nation, Australia encompasses
vast areas of wild country known as the outback, superb
beaches and surfing grounds, a vast coral reef teeming
with marine life, and an incredible array of wildlife
that includes kangaroos, koala bears, wombats and the
unique platypus. But there is another side of Australia
embodied in Sydney, one of the world's great cities.
Southeast of Australia in the South Pacific, New Zealand
comprises two main islands - known simply as South
Island and North Island - and numerous small islets.
Though tiny compared to its neighbor, New Zealand boasts
a variety of natural features and recreational
opportunities to rival any place in the world. The North
Island features the bustling metropolis and world yacht
racing capital of Auckland, exotic black sand beaches
and lush green hills. The South Island's mountainous
terrain and glaciers have earned it the title of
"Switzerland of the South Pacific."
