Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific
What you need to know before you go
Oceania is the collective name of Australia, New Zealand and the hundreds of smaller islands scattered throughout the South Pacific. Take your pick from more than 10,000 islands, including some of the most remote spots on Earth – and some of the most romantic, picturesque beaches.
Australia is most people’s introduction to Oceania, where you’ll find vibrant, cosmopolitan cities like Sydney and Melbourne along the coast. New Zealand is renowned for its lush countryside and laidback charm, while the islands of Polynesia have a raw, sun-drenched beauty.
