Pioneering small ship expedition cruise company Heritage Expeditions is excited to announce two new voyages exploring the intricate coastlines of New Zealand’s three main islands aboard its new expedition vessel Heritage Adventurer.
New Zealand is a perfect destination for expedition cruising and the New Zealand-based company, having spent more than 35 years exploring its furthest shores, has created two unforgettable itineraries showcasing the best the country has to offer.
With the world’s ninth longest coastline, dramatic geography from fiords to volcanoes, astounding wildlife, pristine wilderness, and fascinating natural and rich cultural histories an expedition cruise of New Zealand makes for an unparalleled adventure.
The new voyages include the 11-day New Zealand Coastal Odyssey: The Ultimate Expedition Cruise of the New Zealand Coast and the 15-day The Best of New Zealand: An Intimate Exploration Cruise of New Zealand’s Islands.
New Zealand Coastal Odyssey, starting in Auckland on November 14, 2022, includes the geothermal wonderland of Rotorua, Dunedin’s avant-garde fashion labels, and the adventure playground of Queenstown before discovering the primordial wonders of Stewart Island and Fiordland.
The Best of New Zealand, starting in Queenstown on March 6, 2023, and includes the ‘World’s Coolest Little Capital’ (Wellington), the unrestrained beauty of Fiordland and Stewart Island, the Art Deco glamour of Napier and the golden beaches and island conservation sanctuaries of the upper North Island.

Guests onboard will still enjoy the intimate and experiential expedition voyages synonymous with Heritage Expeditions, albeit now in more spacious, stylish and comfortable surrounds, while a fleet of 14 Zodiacs ensures the maximum expedition adventure.
