Travel with Harvard Alumni, Dartmouth Alumni Travel, MIT Alumni Travel, and National Trust Tours on January 8 – 22. Discover Tasmania, a “curious island at the edge of the world,” with its wild and beautiful landscapes, friendly people with a relaxed island lifestyle, and a haunting history evoked by world-famous convict ruins. It is Australia’s smallest state and the most geographically diverse, with over 40 percent reserved as national parks and world heritage wilderness. On this program, begin in Sydney, Australia’s largest city and the capital of New South Wales. Take a short flight to Tasmania and enter a completely unique and untamed world. Enjoy a seven-night cruise along Tasmania’s rugged coast aboard Coral Discoverer. A true expedition ship, Coral Discoverer’s shallow draught and maneuverability give her an unmatched ability to enter the shallow bays and inlets of Tasmania’s otherwise virtually inaccessible coastline. Become immersed in Tasmania’s breathtaking national parks, dramatic scenery, abundant wildlife, and history. Guided by an expert expedition team, including a Tasmanian specialist, there is no finer way to experience Tasmania’s remote southern coastline than by expedition ship, and no other itinerary with the ability to capitalize on the unique experiences Tasmania offers.

Optional extensions will be offered to either the Australian Outback with Alice Springs and Uluru, or Queensland and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, longest in the world. For pricing and complete itinerary and information visit alumni.harvard.edu/travel.
