VIEW FROM MT. VICTORIA THE BEEHIVE FEATURED Port of Call WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND Few places fire the imagination like New Zealand, so it’s no surprise its capital city is regularly tagged as the nation’s “Creative Capital”. Wellington attracts Kiwis who wish to be amongst fellow artistic types, resulting in a small city packed with museums, theaters, galleries and arts organizations. As Wellington is home to Weta Workshop and the “Beehive”, civic pride abounds — as does a passion for expertly made coffee and craft beer served in stylish laneway cafés and vibrant pubs. Standing atop Mt. Victoria, taking in a panoramic view of Wellington’s breathtaking harbor and lush, green hillsides dotted with smart suburbs, you’ll understand the locals’ inspiration. Other excursions include Te Papa Tongarewa, New Zealand ’s national museum, home to an amazing collection of Maori artifacts and native flora, and Zealandia Wildlife Sanctuary, a world-first, predator-free ecosanctuary, where you’ll see indigenous fauna and 80 million years of Aotearoa’s natural history.
