Oceania & the Far East
The Caribbean’s sun-kissed natural beauty and a collection of diverse sights in South and Central America await your discovery before the stunning South Pacific islands appear on the horizon. Take time to explore lush island landscapes, or simply relax in the sunshine on soft, white-sand beaches in French Polynesia. Round off your trip in Sydney, with New Year's Eve fireworks and time to see the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
Sydney
Your cruise begins in the Caribbean where, after setting sail from beautiful Barbados, you’ll take in the delights of Kralendijk. Bonaire’s sweet little capital features pretty pastel-coloured houses, shops and restaurants serving local Creole cuisine. Stunning beaches, vast national parks and crystal-clear waters rife with marine life can all be discovered close-by too.
From the Caribbean it’s on to Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica. See countless centuries-old churches, a fortress and ancient monasteries hidden within the UNESCO-listed walled city of Cartagena de Indias. Continue with an unforgettable scenic cruise along the Panama Canal. Watching the various locks and dams of this incredible feat of engineering, cut through the Panamanian Jungle, is always an amazing experience. You’ll also call into charming Puntarenas and have the chance to venture into lush nature reserves and rainforests from Puerto Caldera.
A memorable cruise across the Pacific follows, with Black Watch stopping at a string of spectacular islands en route to ‘the land down under’. Nuku
Hiva’s unspoilt volcanic landscapes will beckon you ashore to explore; and astonishing fauna including dolphins and tropical fish are yours to encounter at Rangiroa’s crystal-clear lagoons. Paradise awaits on the idyllic islands of Tahiti and Bora Bora, which lavish you with postcard-perfect beaches, soaring mountains, tumbling waterfalls and awe-inspiring vistas. You’ll also visit Tonga, known as ‘the island where time begins’. After enjoying a magical Christmas at sea, immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of uninhabited Mystery Island before landfall on Australian shores.
During an unforgettable two-night stay in Sydney you will be part of all the New Year’s Eve excitement and see the fantastic festive fireworks light up the midnight sky above the iconic Harbour Bridge, signalling the arrival of 2019. There will also be ample time to take in the world-famous landmarks, including the instantly recognisable Opera House; or even indulge in some rest and relaxation on beautiful Bondi Beach. Speaking of beautiful beaches, Newcastle – your final port of call – is surrounded by stretches of golden sands for you to enjoy.
