| On location aboardViking Orion 08 Feb 23

TODAY’S issue of Cruise Weekly is coming to you courtesy of Viking, which has this week embarked on a mini-famil aboard Viking Orion, sailing from Hobart to Christchurch.

Guests on Viking’s mini-famil aboard Viking Orion will trace the steps of the first European explorer to discover New Zealand, Abel Tasman.

The Dutch seafarer first crossed what is now known as the Tasman Sea back in 1642, undoubtedly in nowhere near the level of comfort or style as Orion’s passengers will.

Guests will experience all the ship has to offer today, such as Manfredi’s Italian Restaurant, the clinker-built bar, and the Nordic Spa.

Orion will arrive in the Foveaux Strait tomorrow for a day of scenic cruising.
