Māori & Australian Shores
11-NIGHT ONE-WAY SAILING FROM AUCKLAND TO MELBOURNE
A day in the Bay of Plenty
New Zealand is an island of extremes, where snow-capped mountains soar over sprawling landscapes, molded out of fire deep below. This limited-time, 11-night voyage gives you access to the best of both islands and two of Australia’s top cities, with all-day stays in Napier, Picton, and Wellington, plus overnights in North Island’s stunning city of Tauranga, and in Sydney’s iconic coastal harbor.

The places you'll go

Auckland
Beaches, mountains, and a vibrant city center — Auckland is the perfect place to begin and end a journey of a lifetime.

Tauranga
Tauranga offers plenty of adrenaline-filled thrills, or those looking to relax seaside — or natural hot saltwater pool-side.

Napier
From rafting to shopping in an Art Deco city center, it’s all sleek to chic in the stylish “Nice of the Pacific.”

Picton
Glacial mountains, waterways, and charming villages provide the perfect backdrop to sip on the region’s famed white wines.

Wellington
One of the world’s top food and wine destinations, Wellington is also an outdoor-lover’s haven with its legendary geography.

Sydney
Gaze at the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, walk the historic Rocks district, or hit the trendy Bondi Beach.

Melbourne
With funky cafes, Aussie Football, and world-class wineries, this is a city to indulge all your favorite interests.
An ocean of opportunities calling your name.
There’s nothing more liberating than having the freedom of charting your own course. No pre-assigned seating, no fixed schedules, no limited options, no nonsense — just a shipload of opportunities to rejuvenate your body and transform your soul.
