Now this is an ocean-lovers cruise itinerary to add to the bucket list. This Silverseas expedition cruise for divers takes in New Zealand, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Norfolk Island to the Solomon’s pristine reefs.
Starting in Dunedin, this tour takes in the world-famous wine region of Marlborough, before moving on to explore the crystal clear waters and vibrant coral reefs of Aniwa and the SS Coolidge in Vanuatu. The Silver Discoverer also visits Norfolk Island for some spectacular bird watching, the beautiful Isle des Pins in New Caledonia, described as the “closest thing island paradise”, before heading for Honiara in the Solomon Islands.
