Description |
19 Night cruise departing from Auckland to Sydney onboard Europa 2.
Cinematic landscapes, cultural diversity and impressive cities: start 2022 on the other side of the world with the EUROPA 2 in New Zealand and Australia.
Highlights of this cruise:
Mount Maunganui (Tauranga)/New Zealand
The Bay of Plenty is a popular surfing location. Visit Rotorua*, the heart of Maori culture and a beautiful geothermal region with bubbling geysers. Tolkien fans can opt for an excursion to the “The Shireâ€*.
Lyttelton (Christchurch)/New Zealand
Embark on a high-country experience* along Arthur’s Pass. You can also take the TranzAlpine express* to the pass and the highlands.
Port Chalmers/New Zealand
A train ride on the historic Taieri Gorge Railway* takes you through the rugged landscape to the “hills of heavenâ€. The Otago Peninsula* is reminiscent of Scotland’s steep rocky coastline and is home to rare royal albatrosses.
Oban/Stewart Island/New Zealand
Look forward to a boat trip* through the sweeping Paterson Inlet or bird watching in the nature reserve on Ulva Island*.
Cruising in Milford Sound, Thompson Sound and Doubtful Sound/New Zealand
Experience the most remote and also most fascinating region of New Zealand when the EUROPA 2 cruises through Milford Sound, Thompson Sound and Doubtful Sound.
Hobart/Tasmania/Australia
Around Salamanca Place, the quaint old town offers a host of restaurants and bars. Embark on a flight* over Tasmania’s wilderness. See wombats, kangaroos, koalas and the Tasmanian devil in Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary*.
Portland/Victoria/Australia
See the Twelve Apostles*, the famous limestone stacks standing at heights of up to 60 m (197 ft) off the coast, or take a trip to Tower Hill Nature Reserve*.
Penneshaw/Kangaroo Island/Australia
It is not without reason that Kangaroo Island was given this name: diverse wildlife awaits you here with koalas, wallabies, duck-billed platypuses and pelicans – and of course the kangaroos that are the namesake of the small island realm. Discover the unique animal kingdom with the continent’s second-biggest sea lion population at Seal Bay*.
Adelaide/Australia
Charming Adelaide is full of little guest houses, restaurants and historic homes. Delve into the history of the land down under and glide along the Murray River on a paddle steamer*.
Melbourne/Australia
The perfect way to end your cruise: enjoy the view from the almost 300 m (984 ft) tall Eureka Tower*. Or watch kangaroos and koalas in the Australian conservation areas*.
Sydney/Australia
In Sydney, you will take your leave of the EUROPA 2. |
