About This Cruise
The 14 Night Australia & New Zealand is a 14-night one-way itinerary aboard Viking Orion. You board in Napier and disembark in Melbourne, calling at 6 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in New Zealand (Napier, Wellington, Christchurch and 1 more), Tasmania (Hobart) and Australia (Melbourne).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Napier and home from Melbourne, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 6 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
