Set sail on an epic 14-night cruise Down Under and soak up the beauty of Australia and New Zealand aboard Oceania Cruises’ Riviera. Embark in Auckland and watch for dolphins, whales, and blue penguins dancing through the sparkling waves as you venture towards Rotorua.

Discover the dynamic city of Tauranga, where urban sophistication seamlessly blends with the untamed beauty of the outdoors. Sample the exquisite wines from Napier’s renowned vineyards, watch a sheep-shearing display in Christchurch, or see movie-making history in Wellington, where The Lord of the Rings was filmed. Stroll through Cathedral Square in Christchurch, and in Dunedin, lose yourself in a fascinating blend of Scottish and Maori traditions. Relax on the ship as you take in the sensational sights and sounds along the Fjords of Milford Sound. Encounter a Tasmanian devil, one of Australia’s most unique and beloved creatures, up close in Hobart. Before bidding farewell in Sydney, spend a few days in Melbourne, where you can glimpse the mischievous kookaburra or witness the adorable wallabies as they huddle and hop.
