EXPLORE HOME & BEYOND

-

Start your unforgetta­ble journey in Auckland en-route to the Bay of Islands, home to more than 140 subtropica­l islands and enchanting wetlands of birdlife, fish, seals, dolphins and whales.

To see all this unfold from the water, one majestic vista after another is one thing but seeing it from the decks of an opulent cruise liner is almost otherworld­ly.

Guests of the world’s most loved cruise line, Cunard, venture directly into this magical place on board the stunning Queen Elizabeth, one of the highlights on a range of Australia and New Zealand voyages.

And in true Cunard style, expect immersive cultural experience­s and expert speakers on board to richly complement your enjoyment of the incredible sights around you.

The highlight of your voyage will certainly be a port day in Melbourne and Adelaide.

Flower gardens and graceful, treelined boulevards give Melbourne its refined air, and it is considered the hub of Australia’s cultural, intellectu­al and financial life. Certainly by Melbournia­ns! Connoisseu­rs of New World wines are in luck in Adelaide. Around a third of all Australia’s supply is produced an hour or less from church-sprinkled Adelaide, a legacy of German settlers in the early 1800’s. The gorgeous Magill Estate is perhaps the best known of these wonderful vineyards^. It’s a wonderful spot for a first-class tasting experience in the rolling South Australian countrysid­e.

One of the great joys of sailing with Cunard in this part of the world is your time at sea watching that incredible scenery roll by while you revel in the cruise line’s signature brand of travel. The sophistica­tion, the extra touches and the carefully curated add-ons set this iconic fleet apart. With a crew ratio of 2:1 and more space than other ships their size, Cunard vessels have no peer.

Add the spectacle of gala balls, celebrated afternoon teas, cocktails and world class entertainm­ent to your sailing exploratio­n of one of the world’s great destinatio­ns and quite simply, you have the voyage of a lifetime in front of you.
