Melbourne, Sydney & New Zealand

10-night voyage on

from Melbourne, Australia

A day in the Bay of Plenty

This unique voyage transports you to the top seascapes of the Pacific, and features long and overnight stays in each port. Beginning in Melbourne, you’ll sail to the glimmering Emerald City — spending two days (and overnight) in Sydney’s iconic harbor. Crossing the Tasman Sea, you’ll visit New Zealand’s stunning wine (and seafood) regions, Tauranga’s Māori shores, and end your journey in Auckland.

The Virgin Voyages Experience

Hassle-free embarkation

Pre-upload your travel docs to the Virgin Voyages app, get Ready to Sail before leaving home, and make boarding a (sea)breeze in just a few minutes.

Sydney overnight

Climb Sydney's Harbour Bridge, hit the famous Bondi Beach, and explore The Rocks on a lively pub crawl — spending the night means you’ll see it all.

Late stays and overnights

No more rushing from A to Sea. Our itineraries feature late stays and overnights, so you can explore it all from morning to night (and morning again).

Keeping it local

We’ve teamed up with locals in each of our ports to reveal sides of places you’ve yet to explore — from the people who know the destinations best.

A day in the Bay of Plenty

As one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing cities, Tauranga has created an urban landscape that emphasizes and preserves its stunning natural makeup. Aqua-holics will encounter beaches perfect for any water activity, and rare wildlife, geysers, and waterfalls can all be observed in its nearby villages.
