Take a small ship cruise to the beautiful Auckland Islands, part of New Zealand, located South from the main islands. These small, uninhabited islands have a combined area of 626 kilometers squared and commenced as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. Board the Silver Explorer ship and cruise to Camley Harbor in luxury with 24-hour room service with no extra charge. You'll get plenty of chances to observe rare, endemic wildlife in its natural habitat, get a chance to visit an abandoned WWII coast watcher's station, or check out a shipwreck dating back to 1864. Consider cruising the Tasman Sea on a small ship cruise to enjoy a higher crew to passenger ratio. Contact our travel specialists to start planning your ideal trip to the Auckland Islands today!
