As goes in the land of dreaming, where secret wants and hidden fears lie deeply tucked in our subconscious, our greatest adventures often await in slumber. The Beautiful Dream is a story of a man who is visited by his departed soulmate who has come to help him rediscover his passion for life, and his will to love again. This is the biggest adventure of his life, the confrontation of his secret fears, and the dream of his eventual awakening.

Our Maestro and the Agents of Rhythm invite you to an electric multi-dimensional world where you will be transported into invisible realms. Each night, the opens for a limited period of time to a multimedia show brimming with kaleidoscopic sounds, effervescent colors, and dazzling movement. Spectra’s Cabaret creates a world seen through the lens of music and technology, all the while exploring the deepest recesses of the heart.

The only thing faster than his hands is his wit. Hilarious comedy, amazing juggling, and a few surprise you’ll never see coming.

The pair met in 2009 at a gymnastics class in Sydney and soon began performing together. They have been Australian Pairs Pole Champions three times and were resident performers of El Circo at Slide in Sydney for over ten years.

Day 8 - The Sounds (Fjords)

C R U ISE C OM P A S S

OVATION OF THE SEAS

DUSKY SOUND

Dusky Sound lies among Fiordland National Park. Named by Captain Cook when he sailed by at dusk on his first voyage in 1770, this spot holds one of the area’s largest fjords, at almost 25 miles long. During the rainy season, you can spot hundreds of waterfalls splashing down from the verdant green hills into the dark deep waters. Keep an eye out for sunbathing seals in repose on Seal Rock.

DOUBTFUL SOUND

Situated in Fiordland National Park, Doubtful Sound is the deepest and second-largest fjord in New Zealand. It was named by Captain Cook because he was doubtful that he would be able to sail his ship back out of the sound. See 619-meter Browne Falls in Hall Arm and 220-meter Helena Falls at Deep Cove. Try to spot dolphins, penguins and fur seals in the waters and shoreline below.

MILFORD SOUND

Mountains and waterfalls abound in Milford Sound, one of New Zealand’s top attractions. Called the eighth wonder of the world by Rudyard Kipling, the sound (technically a fjord) is part of Fiordland National Park and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Site. Suspension bridges, boardwalks and mountain passes take you past stunning valleys and Sutherland Falls.
