New Zealand Fjords & Australia Shores

12-NIGHT ONE-WAY SAILING FROM AUCKLAND TO SYDNEY

Volcanic drama on the shores of Wellington

For the best of the Southern Pacific, this one-way voyage beginning in Auckland will transport you into Wellington’s fertile lands, the quaint, soulful vibes of Timaru, and the pristine fjords of South Island’s sounds from Dunedin. Crossing the sea, make your way to Tasmania’s quirky capital of Hobart, Melbourne’s golden city, then end along the iconic shores in Sydney Harbour.

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.

    Dusky Sound allows you a rare chance to connect with nature when you glide over its enthralling network of fjords.
  • Doubtful Sound

    This fjord is undoubtedly a triumph of nature with its clear waterways, pristine islets, and wild beauty in ever direction.
  • Milford Sound

    Towering cliffs, waterfalls, and black coral create a natural playground for local seals, whales, and bottlenose dolphins.

    With its unique culture and wildlife, Tasmania is a fascinating destination to visitors from afar, or just across the sea.
