Hear “g’day” and “kia ora” as local Australian and New Zealanders greet you on this 14-night cruise aboard Oceania Cruises’ Regatta.

Embark in Sydney and set sail for Melbourne. Wander through the many laneways lined with impressive street art or stroll the bustling Queen Victoria Market, an all-encompassing food hub since 1878. In Burnie, let local cheese makers dazzle your taste buds and in Hobart, journey to the summit of Mount Wellington for panoramic views of the city. As you make your way to New Zealand, take in the sensational sights and sounds along the Tasman Sea and the Fjords of Milford Sound. In Timaru, enjoy a leisurely walk along the picturesque Carolina Bay. Then, watch a sheep-shearing display in Christchurch or see movie-making history in Wellington, where The Lord of the Rings was filmed. Bask in the sun on a beach in Napier. Enjoy a relaxing afternoon at a boutique winery in Gisborne, and before arriving in Auckland, immerse yourself in the Maori culture with a traditional hangi feast and performance.
