• Embark and depart in the late afternoon — enjoy your first evening onboard.

• Time to relax, explore the ship’s amenities, and enjoy sea breezes during your crossing toward New Zealand.

• Milford Sound — short call followed by scenic cruising.
• Doubtful Sound — cruising through dramatic fiord scenery.
• Dusky Sound — more breathtaking landscapes and waterfalls (all three are typically scenic “onboard” experiences rather than long port stays).

• Full-day visit to the South Island city known for heritage architecture, wildlife, and Southland culture.

• Explore Christchurch’s gardens, museums, and revitalised city centre.

• Another relaxing day at sea to enjoy the ship and views.

• A long day in port — great base for beaches and cultural tours, or a trip to geothermal Rotorua.

• Dock in New Zealand’s biggest city — known for its harbour, skyline, and multicultural vibe.

• Time to unwind before your return.

• Arrive early morning and disembark.

Rather than just docking, this cruise offers spectacular cruising through Milford, Doubtful, and Dusky Sounds — some of New Zealand’s most dramatic natural landscapes.

You’ll spend quality time ashore in Dunedin and Christchurch / Lyttelton, both rich with culture, architecture, and local flavour.

Tauranga and Auckland bring coastal scenery, Māori culture, beaches, and city experiences into your cruise.

• Magic Carpet — an open-air platform for dining and views over the sea.
• Stylish modern design and contemporary public spaces.
• A variety of dining venues, lounges, entertainment options, and spa facilities.
• Spacious staterooms including verandahs and suites.

This ship blends relaxation, sophistication, and scenic cruising — ideal for both first-time and experienced cruisers.

March is near late summer in the Southern Hemisphere — you’ll enjoy mild weather and longer daylight ideal for exploring ports and scenic cruising.
