It has grown into the major cultural center of Australia, beloved for its all-embracing, free-spirited nature. The cultural jewel in its crown is the iconic Sydney Opera House, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled harborside like a gleaming white bird taking flight.

    Sydney, Australia
    • Sydney, Australia
    In the heart of Sydney, The Rocks is the city's district of restaurants, galleries, and shops. But its streets were not always so welcoming; during the 19th century, they were the haunt of ex-convicts and sailors who wandered among buildings made of clay and wood, thatched roofs, or locally quarried sandstone-the district was named for the latter-looking for trouble. Many original structures have been razed and replaced, however one of the few to have survived in this is the Lord Nelson, Sydney's oldest pub brewery that has been serving pints and other libations since 1841. ...

    Melbourne, Australia
    • Melbourne, Australia
    Melbourne has been called the world's most livable city. It enjoys a scenic setting on the large bay of Port Phillip. Soon after Queen Victoria declared it a city of the Crown in 1847, the rush to find gold in its rivers made it one of the world's largest and wealthiest cities. Today, it is celebrated as the country's cultural capital of the arts and exudes a rich and lively British flair, from its narrow shopping lanes to the fanciful Victorian buildings along Collins Street. A literal slice of England can be found within 64 acres of beautiful blooms at Fitzroy Gardens. ...

    Cruising the Bass Strait, Australia
    • Cruising the Bass Strait, Australia
    Separating mainland Australia from the island of Tasmania, the Bass Strait was discovered by British explorers George Bass and Matthew Flinders in 1799. This discovery allowed merchants and explorers to cut 700 miles off their journeys from Europe or India. The largest archipelago in the waterway's eastern reaches, the Furneaux Islands, once formed a land bridge between Tasmania and Australia. In the strait's western region, King Island hosts several settlements and is on the migration route of several bird species. ...

Its remarkably preserved architecture dates to Georgian and Victorian times, and traditional pubs transport visitors back to Old England. Nearby, Port Arthur is an open-air museum chronicling the relocation of convicts here by the British during the 18th and 19th centuries. ...

    Lyttelton, New Zealand
    • Lyttelton, New Zealand
    Christchurch is the largest city on New Zealand's South Island. Named after Christ Church College in Oxford by English pilgrims from Canterbury, it retains much of its original British flavor, from the Gothic Revival cathedral to the punting excursion boats on the tranquil Avon River. The city embraces another English tradition: it is home to so many green parks that it has been nicknamed the "Garden City". Its lush Botanic Gardens ranks among the most important in the world, hosting plants from six continents, a rock garden, and a water garden of lilies and irises. ...

The National Aquarium, one of the finest in New Zealand, can be found in Napier. Nearby, Hawke's Bay boasts more than 70 vineyards.

    Tauranga, nestled on the Bay of Plenty, is watched over by the dramatic Mt. Maunganui, an extinct volcano that helped shape this spectacular region of white-sand beaches and azure waters.

Today, the city is home to a thriving cultural scene and stunning vistas of mountains rising from the surrounding waters.

This cosmopolitan city of outdoor enthusiasts is a vibrant marine hub. One of the great pleasures of exploring the city by foot is witnessing countless masts bobbing with the tide at the city's marinas and jet-setting yacht clubs, and marveling at the many full-blown sails as they traverse glittering waters in the distance. After breakfast, disembark your ship and journey home. ...
