“I encourage all curious and adventurous New Zealanders to apply for the Tuia 250 Voyage Trainee programme,” Ms Cavanagh says.
The programme has spots available for 450 New Zealanders, 250 of those will be allocated by region to ensure this is an opportunity open to all. There are also berths available for 200 students aged 14 – 18. Schools will nominate students for three types of voyages.
The Tuia 250 Voyage will travel to 15 sites around the country from October to December this year. Voyage legs range from overnight to 15 days.
