Maori Mementos - Australia to New Zealand
Embark on a 14-night voyage aboard Oceania Cruises’ Riviera, where warm greetings of “g’day” and “kia ora” welcome you into the heart of Australia and New Zealand. Experience the region’s legendary hospitality as locals share their stories, traditions, and vibrant way of life.
Board 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 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 Fjords of Milford Sound. In Dunedin, lose yourself in fascinating Scottish traditions, and in Timaru, uncover the region’s ancient spirit through intricate Maori rock art etched into the city’s landscape. See movie-making history in Wellington, where The Lord of the Rings was filmed. Bask in the sun on a beach in Napier. Finally, before arriving in Auckland, stop in Rotorua and explore Hell’s Gate Geothermal Park, where you will get a hands-on intro to the ancient healing power of geothermal mud, cherished by the Maori people.
On board enjoy small-ship luxury, regionally inspired dishes, hand-crafted beverages, panoramic views, and more.
