Our Unique Expedition Cruise Style of Travel – Active, Engaging & Casual
Voyaging on a New Zealand cruise with Lindblad Expeditions means more than simply cruising past snow-capped mountains. We’ll walk on an active volcano, meet with members of the Maori community, and our expert Lindblad-National Geographic expedition staff will show you a side of New Zealand you never knew existed.
Exploring New Zealand's Incomparable Geography and History
New Zealand was the last major landmass to be discovered, and its isolation engendered the development of flora and fauna unlike anything else in the world. Look for sperm whales, swim with Hector’s dolphins, and then explore the strong Maori tradition as well as influences of British, Dutch and French settlers.
Voyaging Aboard Oceanic Discoverer
Oceanic Discoverer is a nimble 68-guest New Zealand cruise ship built to venture into the fjords and fog-shrouded sounds cut into New Zealand's coast. And when we want to go even deeper and see even more – we employ a covered, motorized landing boat to reach the otherwise inaccessible locations.
Note: We are offering two departures in 2011. The Jan. 31st departure (Auckland to Milford Sound) is shown in full in the day-by-day itinerary. And the Feb. 12th departure travels from Milford Sound to Auckland and makes all the same stops.
