Queenstown, Milford Sound, Christchurch, Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef
aboard the CORAL PRINCESS
From the soaring peaks of the Southern Alps and Sydney’s glittering skyline to the underwater jewels of the Great Barrier Reef and the primeval tones of the didgeridoo, the unrivaled riches of Down Under are like no other on earth.
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 spectacles, 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 explore the wonders of the underwater world from the comfort of a glass-bottom boat or while snorkeling. The Coral Princess’s onboard marine biologist will share his passion for and knowledge of this unique natural treasure.
Before exploring the reef, immerse yourself in the remote beauty of New Zealand. Marvel at the mountainous fjords of Milford Sound during a nature cruise and delight in the stunning vistas of Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkable Mountains from Bob’s Peak. In Australia, stay in bustling, sophisticated Sydney, a city renowned for its brilliant architecture, magnificent harbor setting and white sandy beaches, and visit Sydney’s famous Opera House.
This program also provides exclusive opportunities to gain personal insight into local cultures during a dinner with a Christchurch family in their home and a comprehensive introduction to the Aborigines’ rich heritage at the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park. You may further enhance your journey by joining the exclusive two-night Pre-Program Option in the beautiful port of Auckland, New Zealand.
This journey of a lifetime offers a diverse itinerary and a fantastic opportunity to travel with friends and fellow alumni. It is certain to be popular and promises to sell out quickly. Space is limited, so I urge you to make your reservation soon, before July 17, 2009, while Early Booking Savings are still available!
