New Zealand Expedition Cruises

New Zealand offers spectacular landscapes, lush forests, amazing wildlife and dramatic fiords, all within close proximity to each other, an ideal environment for cruising via a ship.

New Zealand's summer is an ideal time to escape the Northern Hemisphere winter. Spouting geysers, bubbling thermal pools, fiords, glaciers, snow-capped mountains, rivers and sweeping stretches of white sandy beaches enshrine the country's natural heritage.

Launched in 2005 Oceanic Discoverer is the new benchmark standard for luxury cruise expeditions in New Zealand and the South Pacific.

Our 12 night South Pacific cruise visits New Zealand's Islands - explore the land, meet the people, discover local cuisine, sail through fiords and interact with some of the unique native wildlife. Our 5 night cruise from Auckland to Paihia, the Bay of Islands, cruise the north coast of New Zealand, making a perfect add-on to a land based itinerary.

New Zealand is truly a country that will welcome you, and its Maori people are Pacific Islanders happy to share their living culture with like-minded visitors.
