Remote and secluded fiords, forgotten islands, precious wildlife sanctuaries and quaint towns feature on two, in-depth, small-ship exploration voyages along New Zealand’s intricate coast this November and next March.
Taking adventure-hungry, nature-loving guests far off well-beaten tourist trails, with opportunities daily for local forest and beach hikes, the two cruises with NZ-based Heritage Expeditions are on sale now through Australian small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, with complimentary flights to New Zealand and free hotel stays available for bookings made by May 30, 2022.
Cruise Traveller is offering two exclusive packages for November, 2022, and March, 2023:
