The Pacific and Oceania offer some of the world’s most stunning cruising areas and varied scenery. From Australia’s cosmopolitan cities and Great Barrier Reef, to New Zealand’s mountains and vineyards, Oceania, also encompassing Micronesia and Polynesia, abounds in antipodean adventures.
Australia is a continent like no other, and its varied coastline and the Great Barrier Reef is an ideal destination for the adventurous charterer. The bright lights of the cities and the tropical islands provide a vibrant backdrop for a cruise in the southern hemisphere. Dotted along the east coast of Australia are some of the country’s best known cities, such as Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns. The latter is an excellent place to embark on a charter to the Great Barrier Reef, where days can be spent tracing the coastline, swimming and snorkelling in the brilliant coral waters amongst the kaleidoscopic marine life.
