Embark the privately chartered Heritage Explorer for a six-night cruise of New Zealand’s Marlborough, Queen Charlotte, and Pelorus sounds. This immersion of the northern portion of the Southern Island allows us to explore tranquil waterways, rich history and flourishing plant and wildlife. Begin with two nights in Christchurch, visiting three diverse and well-executed gardens. Arrive at the meticulously landscaped, waterfront Winterhome Garden. Discover Ship Cove, where Captain Cook anchored the Endeavour. And enjoy exclusive visits to homestead gardens along Pelorus Sound.
