New Zealand's ultimate summer expedition-style luxury cruise, Oceanic Discoverer, celebrates the 2007-2008 sailing season by offering 20% off its rates for the five night voyages to explore the northern coastline of New Zealand this summer.
The voyages which depart from Auckland to the Bay of Islands or vice versa, visit Tiri Tiri, one of only two scientific reserves in New Zealand, Great Barrier Island, the historic Kawau Island, Port Fitzroy, Mokohinau, Whangamumu, Whangaroa Harbour and the Bay of Islands, before disembarking in Paihia.
Passengers will have the chance to observe and photograph rare native birds and wildlife, enjoy guided walks and lectures with expert naturalists and explore New Zealand's secret alcoves on the Oceanic Discoverer's purpose-built excursion vessel, 'Xplorer' and fleet of inflatable Zodiacs.
Prices start at NZ$2,870 per person twin share (incl. GST) (a saving of NZ$717) and include luxury accommodation in a main deck stateroom, all meals, expert lectures and services of expedition staff on board, coach transfers between Auckland and Bay of Islands, group activities during the cruise and landing fees.
