By: AdventureSmith Explorations “These new cruises round out our current New Zealand program to offer AdventureSmith Explorations (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/)’ Each of the three recently added vessels is family owned and operated providing guests with an authentic introduction to Kiwi culture and customs. Passengers will enjoy access to sights only a small ship can provide while being immersed in legendary New Zealand hospitality. Those cruising the coastline of this two-island country that the indigenous Maori call Aotearoa, or “Land of the Long White Cloud,” can select environments ranging from sub Antarctic to temperate. In the colder south where temperatures may hover at 50 degrees, small ships access the remote wilderness of the Fiordlands; on a northern circuit, guests can bask through the Bay of Islands surrounded by an abundance of tropical foliage. Three ships that have been purpose-built for cruising New Zealand waters are the Affinity (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/ The Affinity Fiordland Cruise (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/ The trip begins with an overnight in Te Anau in the south of the South Island before boarding the 16-guest Affinity that was designed specifically for adventure cruising in this region. This yacht offers comfortable cabins and air conditioning or heating, depending on the season. Because the ship is small and compact, only 66 feet long, it can sail close to roaring waterfalls and easily anchor so that guests can take tenders to the shore for viewing wildlife and strolling in native bush and moss-covered forests. Trips run from June through August with rates starting at $2,040 per person, double occupancy. The 24-guest Island Passage conducts eight-day adventures dubbed the Fiordland National Park Cruise (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/ The Island Passage is designed to cruise through Milford Sound and other remote fjords, with a six-seat helicopter positioned on the top deck to ferry guests to locales accessible only by air. Also included on board are landing craft, sea kayaks, fishing gear and snorkeling equipment. The ship is generous in space and amenities with dining and lounge plus an expansive aft deck. Guests will relish the catch of the day, organic artisan foods produced locally and award-winning European cheeses, providing the overall experience of a luxury private yacht. The cruise departs from the end of February through mid-April. The rate is from $4,555 per person, double occupancy.
