Tasman Tapestry
Say g’day to koalas and kangaroos on this fourteen-night cruise through the Tasman aboard Oceania Cruises’ Regatta. Whether you’re a sun seeker, a culture vulture, or you want to kick back and see incredible scenery, there’s something for everyone.
Forge a path through the glowworm cave in Bay of Islands and spy geysers spouting in Rotorua. Taste the flavor of Napier’s vintage vineyards and walk through movie-making history in Wellington, where The Lord of the Rings was filmed. The Fjords of Milford Sound tower over you as you make your way to Australia. Burnie’s local cheese makers will thrill your taste buds, then you’ll spend two days in Melbourne. Catch sight of a kookaburra or watch wallabies waddle and hop.
