Detailed Itinerary
Auckland, New Zealand
Blending beachy recreation with all the delights of a modern, diverse, and thoroughly multicultural city, Auckland sits on the lucid blue-green waters of New Zealand's north island. Known as the “City of Sails”, its two harbors will tempt you with waterfront walks, and the chance to breathe fresh sea air deep into your lungs while absorbing spectacular views of Auckland's grand harbor bridge's span. Take in the true scale of Auckland's magnificent cityscape by ascending 192 meters to the Sky Tower, and looking out over the city's gleaming silver towers, which reflect on the abundant waters below. Views over the bay and adjacent islands await, and you can share elegant cocktails at this dizzying height, above the mingling yachts of Viaduct Harbour. Immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of the area at Auckland Art Gallery, Toi o Tāmaki. Set beside tranquil fountains and handsomely landscaped flowerbeds of Albert Park, the French-Renaissance building houses New Zealand's most extensive art collection, and exhibits works from Mäori and Pacific artists. New Zealand is world-renowned for its captivating natural scenery, and day trips across the sparkling bays, to nearby islands like Waiheke, Tiritiri Matangi, and Rangitoto, are always tempting. Discover lava caves, grape-laden vineyards, and flourishing wildlife in the Hauraki Gulf's islands. You'll also find an exceptional 360-degree panorama over the city, to the horizon beyond, from the heights of ancient Mount Eden. The spectacular dormant volcano rises improbably from a city suburb and also lends its name to Eden Park - the unusual, translucent stadium of New Zealand's mighty All Blacks.

Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
Mount Wellington's looming, cloud-wisped form is an ever-present sight as you explore booming Hobart, the cosmopolitan capital of Australia's most southerly state. A former British penal colony, nowadays Australia's second-oldest city is a place to live the free and easy life. Encircled by dramatic cliffs, landscaped gardens, and rolling vineyards, Hobart is also well-stacked with cultural pursuits including museums, and respected - if controversial - galleries plastering new and old art to their walls. With fresh sea breezes and a fabulous location, Hobart is a creative place, where you can browse the produce of local artisans in Saturday's massive Salamanca Market - which draws visitors from all across Tasmania and beyond. Eat at waterfront restaurants, or rise up Mount Wellington's slopes to appreciate the remoteness of Hobart's location. From this elevated platform, you can look down across views of flowing forests, undulating mountains, and endless ocean swallowing up the city. Further away, animal sanctuaries introduce you to the island's famous inhabitants, including the famous Tasmanian devil. Thirsty? Hobart has a long brewing tradition - so enjoy a refreshing ale poured from the country's oldest brewery. The climate's blend of generous sunshine and cool Antarctic breezes helps Hobart to produce its acclaimed wines, and thick clumps of pinot noir grapes hang from vineyards dotted along the valleys nearby. Taste the wines, accompanied by a platter of artisan cheese and sausage. Whiskey aficionados aren't left in the cold either, with international award-winning distilleries close by.

Melbourne, Australia
Australia's metropolitan cultural capital is a refined, contemporary, and richly liveable city - which has a blend for every taste. The smells of freshly ground, artisan coffees fill the streets of this hip, youthful city, which is generously sprinkled with fine dining establishments, art galleries, and absorbing museums. With an airy outdoor lifestyle, Melbourne is a vibrant global hub of fashion, fun, and festivities. Multicultural and diverse, Victoria's capital is crisscrossed by narrow alleys and splashed with street art. It's fair to say Melbourne's bearded baristas take their coffees seriously. Settle in to sample the unique coffee culture that is an essential part of Melbourne life. Looking for something a little stronger? The city's rooftop bars come alive with clinking cocktails as the sun sets. A world leader in culinary arts, take your seat at award-winning restaurants, and sample world foods alongside delicious wines, cultivated in the vineyards of the surrounding valleys. Savor a glass while cruising the arching Yarra River, for an unbeatable introduction to Melbourne. An outdoor city, it's no surprise that Melbourne is one of Australia's sporting giants. The vast bowl of Melbourne Cricket Ground serves as the city's sporting cathedral - squeezing in over 100,000 fans and hosting various sports on its hallowed, oval turf. Whether it's the rumble of hoofs during the Melbourne Cup, revs of engines during the Formula One, or thwacks of tennis balls during the Australian Open - few places can boast such a comprehensive list of high-profile sporting appeals.

Adelaide, Australia
For those of you who might think that Adelaide lacks behind its coastal counterparts in terms of culture and creativity, think again. Adelaide is a thriving urban city with bright, leafy alleys that beg to be explored. The city's labyrinthine lanes and alleys are bursting with bars and eateries, serving everything from local craft beer to modern Australian cuisine. Uber aware of their carbon footprint, Adelaideans like to keep things close to home, so expect lots of local produce, which is abundant, fresh, and delicious. Unsurprisingly, Barossa wine from the neighboring valley features prominently on wine lists everywhere. Naturally, a lot of life centers around the lovely beaches, which are home to surfers, sheltered waters, and wide boulevards. The coast is blessed with acres of parkland, perfect for lazing the afternoon away. Many of Australia's most beautiful (and historic) buildings can be found within the boundaries of the city including the handsomely restored former Railway Building, numerous stately Colonial buildings, St. Peter's Cathedral, the grand old Parliament Buildings and nearby Government House, which all make a worthy addition to any visit. Adelaide is of course known for its wide diversity of faiths, and as such carries its nickname "the city of churches" with pride. Contrary to other Australian penal settlements, Adelaide was a free settlement. This meant that it was also a state free from religious persecution, leading rise to the construction of many churches.

Kangaroo Island, Australia
Kangaroo Island is, with 1,740 square miles, the third largest island off the coast of Australia. It is 96 miles long and 34 miles wide, and known for its outstanding natural beauty. Due to its remote location, Kangaroo Island was less affected than the mainland by the impact of European development. To this day, the island is rich in diverse flora and fauna seldom found elsewhere. As one of the world's last unspoiled wilderness places, about 30 percent of the island has been designated as National Parks. The most important one is Flinders Chase at the western end of Kangaroo Island, with Seal Bay Conservation Park following close behind. Its large sandy beach and dune area is home to Australian sea lions where they come to rest and nurse their young. Kingscote, formerly known as Queenscliffe, is the largest town on the island and its main supply depot. Tourism is a significant element in the local economy. A mix of attractive small townships, wildlife sanctuaries, and fascinating wilderness areas guarantee a steady stream of visitors each year.

Port Lincoln, Australia
Known as the seafood capital of Australia, Port Lincoln is a foodie paradise. Home to Australia's largest fishing fleet, numerous seafood restaurants, and a prized local wine region, this is one destination where it pays to travel with your taste buds. The city’s traditional name in Barngala is "Kallinyalla" (pronounced Galinyalla), literally translating to "sweet waters". That should give you some indication of how seriously the ocean is taken in these parts – it provides employment, entertainment, and experiences that are just unseen in other parts of the country. Add in a contrasting coastal landscape that ranges from quiet coves to surf-happy beaches to rugged oceanic coastline, and you’ll soon see why Port Lincoln is fast becoming one of Australia’s favorite places. The city is located on the lower Eyre Peninsula, on the shore of Boston Bay. Discovered by Matthew Flinders in 1802, Port Lincoln was once under consideration to become the state’s capital. However, a lack of freshwater mired that idea, forcing settlers to look 280 kilometers east, to Adelaide. While European discovery is fairly recent, historians should note that the region had been inhabited by Aboriginal groups including the Nauo (south-western Eyre), Barngarla (eastern Eyre), Wirangu (north-western Eyre), and Mirning (far-western Eyre) for over 40,000 years. For those who want to look beyond the city boundaries, Port Lincoln is home to some extremely diverse and abundant nature, and a trip to the National Park is well worth it.

Esperance, Australia
Esperance and the Recherche Archipelago sheltering Esperance Bay received their name in 1792, when a French expedition under d’Entrecasteaux looked for shelter from a storm. Ten years later Matthew Flinders took refuge at Lucky Bay, some 30 kilometers southeast of Esperance near Cape Le Grand, another feature named during the French visit. It was not until the 1860s that settlement began and by the 1890s Esperance was known as the “Gateway to the Goldfields” further inland. Today some 12,000 residents live in Esperance. The town is southeast Western Australia’s only port and as such quite important for grain and mineral exports. Tourism is a major factor as Esperance and its surrounding area has such unusual attractions as a museum featuring debris from Skylab’s 1979 return to earth, a full-size replica of Stonehenge, the Pink Lake – which formerly used to be pink - an IBA for Hooded Plovers and Banded Stilts, several national parks and some of the whitest beaches in Australia. Lucky Bay is one of the iconic places, as kangaroos are regularly seen on the beach sunbathing.

Busselton, Australia
Bordering the Indian Ocean, Geographe Bay’s Busselton has a Mediterranean-style climate. The region features national parks, towering forests, caves, historic lighthouses, and some of the best surfing beaches in the country. Other attractions include wineries and micro-breweries in the Margaret River wine region to the south. Busselton’s iconic jetty - at over 1.8 km, the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere - has an ‘Underwater Observatory that descends 8 meters to the ocean floor via a spiral staircase to see tropical and sub-tropical corals, sponges, fish, and invertebrates.

Fremantle (Perth), Western Australia, Australia
Coming in at number seven on Lonely Planet's list of best places to live, Fremantle has finally begun to shake off the shadow of neighboring big brother Perth. With just 20 kilometers separating the two cities, Perth, with its happy hippie vibe has long been the big pull for visitors to the region. But Fremantle's colorful past and bright future gives Perth as good as it gets. The coastal city has undergone a complete revamp since the America's Cup thrust Fremantle into the spotlight in 1987. Over AUS$ 1,3 billion has been poured into revamping the city, and the fruits of the city's labor are ripe for picking. Investment in the arts has brought Fremantle to the fore of thriving urban culture, while generous grants for small businesses have led to groovy live-music rooms, hipster bars, boutique hotels, left-field bookshops, craft-beer breweries, Indian Ocean seafood shacks amid the buskers and beaches. If that doesn't sound like your glass of beer, we guarantee a stroll along the wooden riverside walkway will change your mind. The city also enjoys another, rather different status. Fremantle was one of Australia's penal cities, vestiges of which can still be found in Fremantle Prison. Almost 10,000 convicts were condemned to life imprisonment here between 1850 and 1868, but the prison remained in use until 1991. Today, the memorable sandstone building is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and at just 15 minutes from port is well worth a visit. Just don't forget your get-out-of-jail-free card.

This formative period instilled in him a deep appreciation for seasonal, locally sourced produce and meticulous craftsmanship.

Beaches of Esperance
EPR-CSpend a half-day exploring a pair of iconic Esperance beaches at Cape Le Grand National Park. Esperance, Cape Le Grand National Park, Frenchman Peak, Hellfire Bay Depart Esperance pier by comfortable coach and, an hour later, find yourself immersed in the stunning Western Australia landscape of Cape Le Grand National Park. Stop for must-take photos of rugged Frenchman Peak – its pointed profile reminiscent of the headwear worn by 19th-century French soldiers. Travel onward to reach secluded Hellfire Bay, tucked languorously between huge granite boulders and showing off picture-perfect views with the islets of Recherche Archipelago jutting up from the surface of a seemingly endless azure horizon. Lucky Bay, Lunch After drinking this setting in, hop back aboard for the spin to your next shoreline of the day – just as spectacular and possessor of the esteemed title of Australia’s whitest beach. Lucky Bay’s uniquely bright sand contrasts with the limpid turquoise of the water along this broad crescent to create a mesmerizing display. With two hours to spend as you wish here, there’s plenty of time for some Indian Ocean swimming, perhaps a brisk exploratory trek or some world-class sun worshipping, and a chance to savor the included picnic box lunch and tea that’s been prepared for you. You’ll also have a far less usual activity to make time for while here: keeping your eyes peeled for an encounter – or two - with the local kangaroos who frequent this shoreline. Famously inquisitive, they roam freely throughout the day and never seem to get a sunburn. When your beach time is up, settle back for the hour-long return to Esperance.

It’s easy to see why they’re so attracted to Cape Le Grand – this unspoiled coastal reserve presents epic vistas at every turn, from granite outcroppings and rocky headlands to powder-white beach sand and crystalline turquoise surf.

Oh, and don’t forget to say G’Day to the lucky resident kangaroos often seen soaking up the same wondrous views. After further delightful Cape Le Grand touring and free time, you’ll arrive in what suddenly seems to be the wrong country.

Mid-Voyage Land Adventure: Uluru - Outback Wonders & Iconic Landscapes
03MIDMEL-AExperience the mystical Red Centre of Australia on this seamless mid-voyage journey to Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta.

Bask in the splendor of Outback sunrises and sunsets. Explore sacred Walpa Gorge and Kantju Gorge, where Aboriginal cultural history comes alive. Dine al fresco, blanketed in silence and stars, as you enjoy inspired cuisine and wines that celebrate the palate of Australia. Witness the evening spectacle of the Field of Light – a fantasy garden of 50,000 illuminated frosted glass spheres that shift in waves of color.

Upon arrival, check in at Longitude 131°, Australia’s most celebrated luxury camp.Located in the red dunes of the Central Desert, you will find your tented pavilion, that offers an incredible connection with the landscape and it’s heritage. Settle in and enjoy some unstructured afternoon leisure – perhaps venturing along one of the hiking trails or drinking in some mesmerizing Uluru views by the swimming pool. As the day draws to a close, grab your camera and some warm clothing, and enjoy your first immersion into the magic of sunset over Uluru, with drinks and canapés in hand. Experience the wonder of artist Bruce Munro’s celebrated Field of Light installation, a massive fantasy garden of 50,000 glass spindles topped with illuminated frosted spheres that shift in waves of color with Uluru as their backdrop. As darkness descends on the desert, guests will enjoy a four-course set menu dinner, complemented with fine Australian wines, under a canopy of stars at Table 131°. Later, the lodge guide regales the group with tales of the Southerly constellations, before heading back to the luxury of your tented pavilion. Dinner and overnight accommodation at Longitude 131°. DAY 2 – Wednesday, 4 March 2026 After an early breakfast at the hotel, begin a 4-hour exploration of Walpa Gorge and the domed formations of Kata Tjuta (the Olgas). Explore, with your expert guide, the impressive formations of Kata Tjuta on a walk through Walpa Gorge. Discover how weathering and continental changes have created the landscape you can see today.

After lunch, venture to the base of Uluru and uncover the traditions of the Indigenous Mala people. Guided by the expert team at Longitude 131°, guests follow a discovery trail that winds past ancient rock caves whose walls are etched with Aboriginal artworks. Each natural ‘room’ reveals its own cultural significance, telling stories passed down through generations. The trail meanders through groves of vibrant greenery, crossing boardwalks suspended over spinifex grass and, depending on recent rains, tranquil streams. As twilight approaches, the journey culminates at Kantju Gorge—an immense fold carved into Uluru’s majestic surface. Shaded by trees, the gorge opens to a serene waterhole, still used by the local Anangu people for swimming. As the sun begins to set, Uluru comes alive in a blaze of colour—its surface glowing brilliant red against the backdrop of a deepening blue sky. Dine this evening in the intimate ambience of the Dune House, your four-course menu paired with wines to match.

This cultural journey brings to life the legend of the ancestral watersnake, Wanampi, and leads to Mutitjulu Waterhole—a peaceful pool that often features a cascading waterfall, depending on recent rainfall. This part of Uluru surprises with its pockets of lush greenery, where trees and grasses thrive in contrast to the surrounding desert. As guests explore the area, they are immersed in the rich spiritual narrative of two ancestral beings: Kuniya, the woma python, and Liru, the venomous snake. Though their individual stories unfold on different sides of the rock, it’s near Mutitjulu Waterhole where their dramatic confrontation occurred. A nearby cave holds the markings that reveal the powerful conclusion of their epic struggle. The experience concludes with morning tea served under the cool canopy of native trees, before guests return to Longitude 131°, where you can enjoy a more substantial breakfast in Dune House, before you check out of your accommodation and head to the airport for your afternoon flight to Adelaide.

S.A.L.T. First Flavours: Native Ingredients and a Chef with a Mission
MEL-UIn an industry often criticized for its lack of diversity and representation, Nornie Bero's inviting smile combined with the comforting aroma of traditional food prepared with native ingredients, reminds us of the inherent power in embracing one's heritage.

At the heart of Melbourne in Fed Square is Chef Nornie Bero's restaurant, Big Esso by Mabu Mabu, which means “the biggest thank you” and “help yourself.” Mabu Mabu paints a picture of the islands: seafood that evoke the azure waters of the Torres Strait, spiced game meats that summon the wild essence of Australia's untamed landscapes, and the uniquely delicious, pickled watermelon made right in the restaurant.

Lunch concludes with a short walk back to board the bus to return to the ship.

She embodies a heartwarming tale of creativity, identity, and passion with an unwavering connection to her roots.

In an industry often criticized for its lack of diversity and representation, Bero's inviting smile combined with the comforting aroma of traditional food prepared with native ingredients, reminds us of the inherent power in embracing one's heritage.
