Hi everyone,

I have pulled together a very special cruise sailing for you and your friends on the spectacular Silver Moon, January 19-February 4, 2026.  It is a fabulous 16 day itinerary that highlights New Zealand, Tasmania and Southern Australia, beginning in Auckland, embarking Silversea's Silver Moon with a capacity to accommodate 596 guests onboard. This ship maintains the small-ship intimacy and spacious all-suite accommodations with a bonus of butler service in all stateroom categories. Silver Moon also features the all-new Sea And Land Taste (S.A.L.T.) program onboard in addition to 7 more dining areas to please every palate.

After arriving in Auckland, we set sail for Tauranga, New Zealand's 5th largest city, settled by the Maori and situated on the gorgeous Bay of Plenty. Then on to the South Island visiting Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Bluff. We'll have 2 sea days to experience the beauty and wonder of Doubtful Sound and Milford Sound - not to be missed. Afterwards we'll travel to Hobart in Tasmania, then on to Adelaide, Kangaroo Island and disembarking in Melbourne. From Melbourne, consider an optional extension to see Sydney, then fly back to the USA.
