Aussies looking for an extraordinary new way to experience Australia and New Zealand, away from the hustle of big cruises and tiring road trips, should try the closer-to-home itineraries on a Windstar all-suite cruise.

Windstar’s Star Breeze will make its inaugural visit to local waters, offering a series of Australia and New Zealand itineraries between December and February.

Visiting ports such as Melbourne, Tasmania, Sydney, Cairns, Mooloolaba, Stewart Island, Tauranga, Auckland, Dunedin and Wellington, you’ll experience the magnificent diversity of everything Australia and New Zealand have to offer.

From the snow-capped Fjords of the South Island to immersions in Maori traditions in New Zealand to exploring the remote Middle Percy Island in Queensland to sampling wines in the famed Yarra Valley region in Victoria, plenty of new adventures await you as you explore the region on an ultra-luxurious, yet intimate Windstar yacht.

Windstar is a small ship cruise specialist with private yachts crafting an intimate and luxurious atmosphere, and the ability to tuck into smaller, off-the-tourist-track ports that big ships simply cannot.

Serving just 312 guests on board, Star Breeze is an all-suite yacht that recently underwent a complete renovation, boasting two new public areas, two new dining venues developed by a 10-time Michelin Star chef, award-winning shore excursions and more.
