Australia and New Zealand - Cruising the Great Barrier Reef

January 18 - February 1, 2014

Join us on this spectacular journey that captures the essence of the stark contrasts, magnificent landscapes and dynamic cultures of both Australia and New Zealand. The highlight of this experience is the exclusive three-night cruise along the Great Barrier Reef, one of nature's greatest wonders, aboard the intimate Coral Princess. Known for the warm Aussie hospitality of its crew and carefree ambiance, this stylish vessel moors at secluded reefs and islands, where you can observe the drama of the underwater world from the comfort of a glass-bottom boat or while snorkeling. An onboard marine biologist will share his passion for, and knowledge of, this unique natural treasure.
