South PacificExploring New Zealand's North & South Islands
Explore both the North and the South Island aboard the outstanding 68-guest Oceanic Discoverer, taking in a terrific variety of experiences. There are wonderful landscapes, from the fjords of the South Island to the cliffs and indented coastlines the entire length our journey. There’s unique wildlife that results from New Zealand’s long geographic isolation. And there is an inviting blend of cultures that includes those of the indigenous Maori population and of the European settlers, underpinned by the friendly, relaxed welcome you’ll receive from “Kiwis” (New Zealanders).
