About This Cruise
The 14 Night Australia & New Zealand is a 14-night one-way itinerary aboard Viking Venus. You board in Melbourne and disembark in Napier, calling at 5 ports across 2 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Australia (Melbourne, Melbourne) and New Zealand (Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and 2 more).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Melbourne and home from Napier, 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.
