Port Highlights:
Sydney
Considered one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the Southern Hemisphere,
Sydney offers just about anything-from beaches and wineries to stunning landmarks and world-class shopping.
Tour architectural marvels like the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge, view life below the surface
from Sydney Aquarium's underwater walkways, or take it all in from above on a tour of the Sydney Tower.
Melbourne
Europeans and Asians each have put their stamp on this amazing city and turned
Melbourne into a cultural melting pot of Greek, Chinese, Italian, English and Irish, and host to major international
events. From the Old World architecture and a cricket field at the center of the city, to the abundance of Australia's
unusual animals found at the Melbourne Zoo, this city never ceases to amaze.
Milford Sound
As we sail into the narrow fjords of the Milford Sound, even your massive ship seems
to shrink in comparison to the towering cliffs topped by lush mountain terrain. Situated within Fiordland National Park,
this natural wonder is part of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Site and is protected by its natural geography, which
makes it a haven for all types of wildlife.
Dunedin
Were it not for the absence of the Scottish brogue, you might think you'd landed in
Edinburgh. Both the scenery and the architecture borrow heavily from Scotland. You can even shop for kilts or dig into a
piece of fresh haggis. Dunedin is also home to New Zealand's only castle, a 15-year construction endeavor complete with the
only staircase of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and magnificent woodwork.
Christchurch
The moment you step onshore, you'll understand why locals long ago tabbed this the
"Garden City." Lush gardens and parks punctuate well-spaced avenues and squares, all adorned with Victorian architecture.
Of particular note is the 57-acre Christchurch Botanic Gardens, which features wide-open lawns, some of New Zealand's oldest
trees, and a thriving population of ducks. At the center of town is Christchurch Cathedral, a stunning example of Gothic Revival
architecture.
Wellington
From the new to the old, Wellington offers a bit of everything. Locals are particularly proud
of the National Museum of New Zealand- Te Papa Tongarewa. Loosely translated as "our place" from the native Maori tongue, the
museum is one of the worlds largest and most progressive. A great way to explore the city is on the restored cable cars, which
traverse the shopping district. And if you want to experience it all from above, take in the panoramic views from Mount Victoria.
Tauranga
Known as the Bay of Plenty, Tauranga is located at the entrance to one of the largest natural
harbors in New Zealand. You can take a ride on a bush jet boat, go white-water rafting on the Rangitaiki River, or dine on the
freshest fish and chips you'll ever taste, served al fresco. If you're looking for a more exotic counter, travel to the Mount
Mauganui Hot Salt Water Pools.
Auckland
Step ashore at this bustling harbor and into a surprisingly cosmopolitan environment. And once
you venture inland, even more surprises await, including a total of 48 dormant volcanoes, a lush, leafy urban cityscape filled
with beautiful parks, and a number of renowned art galleries.
Which stateroom is right for you?
Do you want to be on one of the higher decks with a balcony, where you can sit and have breakfast? We recommend the Sky Suite or Aqua Class. Do you plan on spending as little time as possible in your stateroom? Perhaps one with a picture window is the right choice for you. In other words, take your time, and make sure you pick the perfect stateroom for your needs.
