We invite you to join us for one or both of these incredible escorted sailings to this region of beautiful scenery, majestic fjords, fine wine, friendly people, and exotic wildlife. With its opposite seasons, it’s the perfect place for those from the Northern Hemisphere to escape the winter blues. Enjoy these bucket list experiences onboard the unforgettable Celebrity Edge. We start with a 12 Night Immersive New Zealand cruise from Auckland to Sydney on February 19, 2025. We then follow with a 9 night Australian Wine cruise roundtrip from Sydney on March 3, 2025.
Sail Down Under on an over-the-top vacation that immerses you in cosmopolitan cities from Sydney to Auckland, natural wonders from the Great Barrier Reef to Milford Sound, and world-class winery regions. This is a region of beautiful scenery, majestic fjords, fine wine, friendly people, and exotic wildlife.
Natural Beauty
It’s the outdoors that makes this region truly exceptional—from the snowy peaks of New Zealand to the picture-perfect beauty of Tahiti. Dive the Great Barrier Reef on your cruise to see multi-colored fish and corals. Photograph the towering Mitre Peak as you glide through the otherworldly Milford, Dusky, and Doubtful Sounds in New Zealand. Discover a peninsula of pink granite mountains, eucalyptus forests, white beaches, and azure waters of Tasmania’s Freycinet National Park.
Culture & History
The Māori are the indigenous people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) and first arrived here in canoes from their ancestral homeland of Hawaiki over 1,000 years ago. Their traditions are still very much alive today. Tribal tattoos are an expression of commitment and respect, while skillful wood carvers create intricate works that pay respect to the past.
Wildlife
The flora and fauna found in this region is among the most diverse on earth. Koalas. Kiwi birds. Duck-billed platypus. Tasmanian devils. Kangaroos (Australia is home to more kangaroos than people). See the most breathtaking reef inhabitants in the world including manta rays, sea turtles, and sharks on a South Pacific cruise. And be sure to pick up some rare Manuka honey to bring home from New Zealand.
Culinary Exploration
World-class wineries and breweries. The freshest seafood. Legendary New Zealand lamb. Your options in this region are diverse and delicious. In Australia, smear toast or a sandwich with Vegemite that is full of B vitamins and has a savory “umami” flavor.
