When to Cruise Australia & New Zealand
The best time for an Australia & New Zealand cruise is between November and March, when the Southern Hemisphere enjoys summer. Expect sun-soaked days for exploring the Great Barrier Reef, wine regions, and cosmopolitan cities. For natural wonders like New Zealand’s fjords and Tasmania’s wild coastlines, late spring and early autumn can also offer spectacular scenery with fewer crowds.
Nature & Wildlife: Extraordinary Encounters
From Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and wildlife-rich rainforests to New Zealand’s legendary national parks, the region is a haven for nature lovers. Spot kangaroos and koalas in the wild, snorkel with vibrant marine life, and cruise past waterfalls and snow-capped peaks. Every day brings new opportunities to experience bucket-list wildlife and natural wonders.
