With stops in Wellington, Hobart and Melbourne, the Explorer sets sail in 2025 and 2026 for 14-nights on board the Seven Seas Explorer.
The Bay of Islands consists of 144 islands, secluded bays and is loaded with diverse marine life. It is one of the most popular fishing, sailing and tourist destinations in the country. Visit Burnie, where the first settlers literally carved a village out from the rain forests and tea-tree swamps. Disembark in Sydney with a skyline crowned by the sails of its famed Opera House. Conquer Sydney bridge with the bridge climb, where panoramic views of the city and harbor waits for you at the top.
The Seven Seas Explorer sets sail from Auckland to Sydney, Australia.
With a capacity of 750 guests, the Explorer makes for an intimiate cruise of the seas.
Have a taste of France at the Chartreuse, a taste of Asia at Pacific Rim, or your choice of a buffet or an Italian menu at the La Veranda. Prime 7 offers an impressive range of steaks, and the Pool Grill makes for a casual meal after a day in the sun.
For the evenings, try your luck at the casino, or have drinks at the Connoisseur Club, Meridian Lounge or the Observation Lounge. If you're into production shows, the Constellation Theatre is decked in Gatsby-esque designs, and makes for a show of glamour.
Attend Pilates, yoga or aerobics at the fitness centre, or relax at the Serene Spa & Wellness.
