It is not for nothing that New Zealand (or Aotearoa, meaning ‘land of the long white cloud’) is known as ‘the whole world in one country’. For a small country New Zealand offers more in less miles than any other country on earth. From rainforest, to snow, to white sand beaches, geothermal sites and glaciers, New Zealand has it all.

The country offers a unique blend of cultures, and Maori culture is a core part of New Zealand’s national identity. With its Polynesian history added to that of the European settlers, New Zealand has a rhythm all on it’s own with a relaxed sunny atmosphere that is fiercely competitive, especially on the sports field.

A country synonymous with the water, seafarers have always been attracted to New Zealand’s unspoilt and beautiful shores.
There are more than 15,000km of exquisite coastline across two main islands - North and South – and hugely varied landscapes. Popular as both a cruising and refit destination, New Zealand is well worth an extended visit.
