Mit nicko cruises Hochseekreuzfahrt mit Bruno F. Apitz

Unique nature experiences. Tasmania and New Zealand intensive.

21 days | Syndey • Australia • Tasmania • New Zealand (South and North Island) • Auckland

Our journey begins in Sydney. From here, we set sail on an exciting voyage of discovery along the coasts of mainland Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. First stop: Paradise! The coastal town of Eden on the Sapphire Coast fully deserves its name – an opinion that is shared by the whales who swim near to the shore! Passing Melbourne, we head for Tasmania. Here we will meet the world’s smallest penguins as well as Tasmanian devils and many other species that are only found here. Reaching New Zealand, we will pay leisurely visits to both the South and North Islands where you can take your time to enjoy the enchanting landscapes and friendly locals.
