Maori Mementos - New Zealand to Australia
Embark on a 14-night voyage aboard Oceania Cruises’ Riviera, where warm greetings of “kia ora” and “g’day” welcome you into the heart of New Zealand and Australia. Experience the region’s legendary hospitality as locals share their stories, traditions, and vibrant way of life.
Board in Auckland and begin your journey in Rotorua, where you’ll explore the bubbling pools and healing muds of Hell’s Gate Geothermal Park, a sacred site to the Maori people. In Gisborne, pedal past riverside trails and colonial landmarks before pausing for morning tea in a cozy Art Deco cafe. Bask in the sun on a beach in Napier. See movie-making history in Wellington, where The Lord of the Rings was filmed. In Timaru, uncover the region’s ancient spirit through intricate Maori rock art etched into the city’s landscape, and in Dunedin, explore Scottish heritage. As you make your way to Australia, take in the sensational sights and sounds along the Fjords of Milford Sound. Cross the Tasman Sea to Tasmania and sample local oysters. In 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. Before journey’s end, spend a night in Sydney beneath the iconic sails of the Sydney Opera House.
On board enjoy small-ship luxury, regionally inspired dishes, hand-crafted beverages, panoramic views, and more.
