In New Zealand, a cruise to Fiordland and along the Milford Sound is an ethereal adventure, with incredible views and lots of wildlife to spot from deck. If it's cities you prefer, New Zealand offers Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland: all bursting with culture and unique architecture.
Australia's Kangaroo Island offers kangaroos, just as you'd expect, but also wallabies, koalas, seals, sea lions and goannas, placid lizards that can grow up to a metre long. Wine country is conveniently accessible from Busselton: the vineyards of Margaret River are second to none, and the local caves are perfect for exploring. Finally, a cruise along Australia's east coast would be incomplete without a stop in Sydney. The sights of the harbour bridge and the opera house are known all over the world, and the Great Barrier Reef offers a diving experience unlike any other.

What are the top sights in Australia and New Zealand?

Cruises to Australia and New Zealand tend to operate between October and April, avoiding the colder winter months. December, January and February offer the warmest days, however the weather in this region (New Zealand in particular) can change very quickly. When you pack, prepare for a range of temperatures, and remember a waterproof.

What is the best time to cruise to Australia and New Zealand?

This region is large, and the weather is affected by several ocean currents and landmass size. New Zealand in particular can experience multiple seasons in a day! When you pack for your cruise, choose clothes that can be easily layered, so you can add or remove them for maximum comfort. Bring along a waterproof for rain, sun protection for sun, comfortable shoes for exploring, and a warm jacket for cooler evenings.
Each Cunard Queen is equipped with pools and spa facilities, so pack swimwear (perhaps more than one set if you plan on snorkeling or diving during port calls) and bring your best dresses and suits for our formal Gala evenings.

What should I pack for a cruise to Australia and New Zealand?

Pagoda street, in the heart of Chinatown, Singapore

Dravuni Island, Fiji. Beach on the tropical islandand clear turquoise water.

Yes - you can view the Northern Lights on one of our Norwegian cruises, however we can't guarantee their appearance! The aurora borealis is near impossible to predict, but sightings are more likely on clear nights between October and March, and odds increase the further north you travel. Cruises to Tromsø, the capital of the Arctic, should give you a decent chance.

Can you see the Northern Lights on a Norway cruise?

No. The Northern Lights are caused by solar winds interacting with the Earth's magnetic field, and isn't affected by our normal weather systems. However the lights can be obscured by clouds and can be drowned out by strong moonlight, so choosing a clear night at the right part of the lunar cycle gives you the best chance. The rest is luck!

Do the Northern Lights happen every night?

This is a difficult question to answer, as sightings are more dependent on cloud cover and luck than anything else, and the weather is so varied around the Norwegian coast.
In January-March the nights are longer and there tend to be fewer snow clouds blocking the view, but in autumn the weather is milder, and has had some fantastic light displays in recent years. November and December can be good for sightings too, but we suggest wrapping up extra warm!

What month is best to see the Northern Lights?

A general rule is that the further north you go, the better your chances of seeing the Northern Lights. Norway is perhaps the most popular country for a Northern Lights cruise, though Iceland is also a good choice. Cunard offers cruises within the Arctic Circle visiting the Norwegian city of Tromsø, which is a known place to view the aurora borealis.
