Melbourne, Sydney, & New Zealand

10-NIGHT ONE-WAY SAILING FROM MELBOURNE TO AUCKLAND

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

From captivating coasts to laid-back island vibes, the exclusively adult cruise vacation of your dreams is here.

  • 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.

The places you'll go

  • Melbourne

    With funky cafes, Aussie Football, and world-class wineries, this is a city to indulge all your favorite interests.
  • Sydney

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

  • Napier

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

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