Discover the remote beauty and rich heritage of New Zealand’s South Island on an immersive small-ship expedition aboard Coral Adventurer, sailing from Bluff to the Marlborough Sounds. This journey explores some of the country’s most spectacular and inaccessible landscapes, from towering fiords and ancient glaciers to sheer granite cliffs and cascading waterfalls.

In Fiordland National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage wilderness, experience the dramatic scale and stillness of Dusky, Doubtful, and Milford Sounds—glacier-carved waterways famed for their pristine rainforests, striking scenery, and abundant wildlife, including seals, dolphins, and rare penguins. Beyond the fiords, discover a diverse coastline of windswept islands, historic ports, and vibrant regions that reflect both Māori and European heritage.

Accompanied by expert guides, each day offers opportunities to explore more deeply through Zodiac excursions, guided walks, and time spent taking in the ever-changing scenery from the deck.

Blending active discovery with relaxed cruising, this voyage provides a meaningful and unhurried exploration of one of the world’s last great wilderness regions.

Please note that a Calder & Lawson tour manager will not be accompanying you on this cruise, however you will be well looked after by the excellent Coral Expeditions crew.
