Victoria. It maintains an air of old-world grace and refined dignity with spacious tree-lined boulevards and expansive parks.
The prosperous lifestyle of its people is both cosmopolitan and sophisticated. Quaint trams rumble through the downtown area
past verdant gardens and impressive high-rises, in a city that has never lost its endearing charm. The heritage of more than
100 different cultures has contributed to Melbourne's richly international character. This diverse ethnic mix is exemplified
by its range of 15,000 dining venues which offer more than 50 different kinds of cuisine. Melbourne's sightseeing is as diverse
as it is composition and beckons for your discovery. | | Mar 21,

of Tasmania, is situated between Mount Wellington and the Derwent River. As Australia's second-oldest capital, it savors the
present while revering its past. History adds picturesque charm to this charismatic city, for there are no less than 90 buildings
with National Trust classification. At Salamanca Place and Battery Point, relics of the whaling days of the last century can
still be seen. Tasmania maintains abiding links with a wealth of Australian heritage. The convict settlement of Port Arthur
provides vivid reminders of bygone days. With a busy port and thriving commercial center, Hobart is justifiably recognized
as one of the world's most beautiful harbor cities. | Mar 23,

jewel of Fiordland National Park. Thousands of years ago, relentless glacial ice forged its rugged grandeur. Sheer-faced granite
walls soar skyward, white-plumed waterfalls tumble from lush valleys into glassy waters and Mitre Peak rears over 5,000 feet
into the mist.
Due to its outstanding natural beauty and cultural significance, Milford Sound has been nominated
a World Heritage Area.
Please note, no guests will be permitted ashore. However, the true grandeur of Milford Sound
is best enjoyed from the water and the comfort of your Crystal Cruises' ship.
| | Mar 26, Friday | Dunedin, New Zealand » | 8 am | 6 pm | | The charming city of Dunedin lies
in southeastern New Zealand, less than ten miles from our pier in Port Chalmers. Its name means Edinburgh in Gaelic and to
this day it has retained enduring reminders of its Scottish roots. Adorning the streets of Dunedin is a wealth of Victorian
and Edwardian buildings, richly festooned with spires, gables and gargoyles. These architectural landmarks are imposing reminders
of a more prosperous era. Surprisingly, the surrounding area is also home to prolific local wildlife, animals rarely found
so close to a major city. The choice is yours: explore impressive city architecture, take a rail journey through unspoiled
wilderness or venture out to view albatrosses and a country estate. | | Mar 27, Saturday | Christchurch/Lyttleton, New Zealand » | 8 am | 6 pm | | Just 30 minutes from the pier at
Lyttelton lies Christchurch, New Zealand's spectacular "Garden City."
Founded as a model church settlement
in 1851, Christchurch is now the South Island's premier metropolitan center.
The planner's dream of creating an
English town is reflected in its well-tended gardens, fine Victorian architecture and ivy-covered stone homes, set beside
the meandering River Avon.
Fine craft shopping, excellent restaurants and a wealth of nearby sightseeing attractions,
including flightseeing to snow-capped Mount Cook and drives into the gently rolling Canterbury Plains, abound. You may also
choose to view the country's Southern Alps by train, visit the International Antarctic Centre or venture farther afield for
an overland experience in Queenstown.
Whatever your choice, you'll agree that Christchurch is one of New Zealand's
favorite visitor destinations.

Tauranga is a popular summer resort and one of the country's most important ports for the export of kiwi fruit, timber, and
dairy products. It is also the gateway for Rotorua, the geothermal wonderland that is one of New Zealand's most famous attractions. | | Mar 30, Tuesday | Auckland, New Zealand » | 8 am | | | Welcome to Auckland, the "City
of Sails." New Zealand's largest city is along the shores of an extinct volcanic cone known as Rangitoto, often visible
to the east. Auckland's population of over one million people represents almost a third of the country's total.
New
Zealand seems to have a bit of everything: great natural beauty, friendly people, magnificent glacier-studded mountain ranges,
sculpted fjords, pristine untouched beaches, lush rainforest, an endless array of sporting activities, and, not to be forgotten,
plenty of sheep and rolling farmland.
Auckland is the perfect city from which to experience most of what New Zealand
has to offer. The city lies astride a narrow isthmus between the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean on two harbors, the Waitemata
and Manukau. Auckland and New Zealand's geographic and cultural treasures beckon for your discovery.
An enthusiastic
welcome awaits you at this thriving city by the sea.

Delivering High Quality
and Outstanding Value A Tradition of
Excellence
Since 1975 we've created custom-designed tours for more prestigious non-profit
organizations. Now we put our expertise to work on a wider scale by making our tours available to all
travelers, while continuing to serve our client institutions. Small
Groups of Just 12 to 24 Guests, Carefully Designed Itineraries, An Appropriate Pace of Travel
Each
of our tours is custom-designed specifically for small groups, with a balanced mix of traveling, sightseeing, cultural encounters,
and free time. Most important, we limit our tour membership to just 12 to 24 guests, both for the freedom, flexibility, and
camaraderie that small groups engender, and also so guests may enjoy a more personal and authentic travel experience. We show
you the highlights -- and the unexpected. And we generally spend at least two nights in most places, and sometimes as many
as five, so you won't be run ragged changing hotels every day. A
Diverse Selection of Tours
We offer a diverse array of tours and small ship cruises throughout
the world, ranging in length from 11 to 21 days: Europe on and off the beaten path; ocean, river, coastal, and private yacht
cruises; adventures in Africa and The Americas; discoveries in Asia and the Far East; far-reaching journeys to South America,
Antarctica, and Australia and the South Pacific— all with unique features available only to small groups. Extensive Included Sightseeing— and No Hidden Costs
Our tours include a great deal of thoughtful and engaging sightseeing and activities, from museum tours, elephant treks,
and scenic excursions to home visits, musical performances, and wine tastings. In major cities you'll usually have time to
explore on your own after a guided city tour. And traveling from one destination to another isn't always just a transfer,
it's added opportunity to visit a special village, historic site, or ancient ruin. Hotels: Excellent Quality and Location
Since accommodations comprise an important
aspect of your trip, we've gone to great lengths to select hotels that meet our standards of high quality, convenient location,
and excellent service. From superb hotels in major cities to unique or historic lodgings too small for conventional tour groups
of 40 or more, these hotels promise to enhance your enjoyment and comfort throughout your trip. Our Tour Directors Make the Difference
We believe that personal
attention is key to an outstanding travel experience, so we've ensured that it's a hallmark of all Odysseys Unlimited tours.
Our professional Tour Directors rank among the best in the business; their love of travel is surpassed only by their desire
to share their enthusiasm and knowledge with others. And a small group means your Tour Director will have more time to spend
with you and more time to share the personal insights that can add so much to your experience. This helps make your trip genuinely
special -- and different from conventional tours. Major
Airline Service
We use scheduled airline service on major commercial airlines worldwide. Business
Class upgrades on select international flights are available on request. We also offer low-cost domestic connecting flights
to your gateway city. MORE INFO
