Cruise New Zealand's Subantarctic Islands

29 July 2025

Remote, windswept, and teeming with life, New Zealand’s Subantarctic Islands are among the world’s most extraordinary wildlife sanctuaries. Located in the cool, temperate waters south and east of New Zealand, these six island groups (including the Snares, Auckland, Campbell, and Macquarie Islands) are home to an astonishing concentration of endemic flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth. Designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites and protected by strict conservation laws, visiting these islands is not only rare, but a true privilege. From dramatic cliffs and untamed seas to penguin colonies, nesting albatross, and flowering megaherbs, the Subantarctic Islands are a dream destination for wildlife lovers.

The only way to reach these remote islands is aboard a licensed small-ship expedition cruise, departing directly from New Zealand. These limited-access voyages offer an incredible opportunity to explore a part of the world that few will ever experience.
